Lakers go to the movies, see 'Lincoln'
 

What's a basketball team to do on an off day in Oklahoma City?

The Los Angeles Lakers made the most of one on Thursday, combining a trip to the movies with a history lesson by going to see Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln."

In jest, Kobe Bryant said the team certainly could use a history lesson or two.

"I don’t know what kids are studying in history class nowadays," Bryant said. "I don’t know. I know we studied Lincoln. I don’t know how many guys on the team actually knew who he was (laughing). So, I think it lent some good historical perspective."

These team trips and hang-outs are very healthy for a team looking to establish chemistry. Part of chemistry is having good relationships, trust, and more importantly than anything, unity.
