As the Lakers the past five and a half months have rebounded from last year's 34-48 disaster with a 45-37 record, Mitch Kupchak has rebounded from a relentless pounding from sports talk radio hosts, certain newspaper writers and many disenchanted Laker loyalists. As the Lakers have shown tantalizing signs of their past glories they did manage victories against the teams with the NBA's best records, Detroit and San Antonio Mitch Kupchak has shown he did learn a few pointers from being an understudy all those years to Jerry West, after all.
