Arenas: Before the game started, I felt that the Lakers starters didn t look like NBA players. I thought they would start 0-12.

November 15th: Recently, Arenas talked about the Lakers on Matt Barnes’ podcast.

Talking about the Lakers' current record of 9 wins and 4 losses (4th in the Western Conference), he said: "Before the start of the season, if you told me that the Lakers started with 5 wins and 5 losses, I would think, 'Brother, this is not bad.' If you look at some of the names on the team, you might think, ' Are you really playing in the NBA? ’ So to be honest, I originally thought they would get off to a 0-12 start, but that’s not the case. This only shows that players like Luka and Reeves are so talented that they can make it easy for other players on the team.”
