Goodwin’s Stellar Season and Future Moves…
Meet Jordan Goodwin, the Lakers’ newest rockstar who bounced from the G League to front stage faster than a cat in a chili-eating contest. Under the watchful eye of coach JJ Redick, he electrified the court, becoming the Lakers’ go-to guy for grinding defense and some ferocious hustle. He made the boss move from a two-way contract to a full-blown Lakers squad member and found fans eating out of the palm of his energetic hands. Goodwin even rocked a black face mask, making him look like a hybrid of athlete and superhero, channeling the iconic masked days of Kobe Bryant.
In 29 glorious games, Goodwin averaged 5.6 points and pulled down 3.9 rebounds—it might not sound like much until you realize he was shooting 3-pointers with the precision of a chef adding the last pinch of salt. By making five three-pointers against the Brooklyn Nets, Goodwin created a highlight reel hot enough to roast marshmallows. Even though the Lakers had to let him go to sign Marcus Smart, the Suns snagged him, hoping Goodwin becomes as crucial as an umbrella in a kangaroo’s pouch. The future’s bright for our masked marvel—stay tuned!
