Remember when everyone said he was soft on D? Not anymore. Ayton’s anchoring this Lakers squad, and you can feel the energy shift every time he’s on the floor. If this is the new norm, who’s stopping LA in the West? What’s your take—has Ayton finally arrived as a true difference-maker? #Sports #Basketball #LakeShow
