3. Energy and Attitude

Despite the negative antics that Stephenson displayed at times during the Heat series, he also did some very positive things throughout the course of this season with his attitude. He doesn’t back down from any kind of opponent, and he is more than willing to respond to the best players in the game with aggressiveness. The Lakers would be a very nice fit for the type of energy and attitude that Stephenson brings to the table, and fans would absolutely love the swagger that he brings with him.
