The World Champion Lakers are top 6 in both offense and defense and the top seeds in Region 14; Gasol is 28, Kobe's 30 and they both cross 20 PER and double digit WS; 21 year old Andrew Bynum also hits 20 PER.  Lakers got 3 Regional Champs, but none of them is a Kobe team; he was NBA Finals MVP in 2009. He and Gasol were All Stars and Kobe was co-MVP of that game.  They beat Shaq and swept Bird - the top seeds in the Region look to take the title.
