Yeah, I know the NBA draft is upon us and is captivating our attention. Sorry for breaking the posts' continuity. Came across this article about John Kundla, a former coach for the Minneapolis Lakers. Thought it would be of interest to some. I was familiar with some of the players from the early Laker teams, but never heard of their coach until I read this article.

Great piece of historical information, those Minny Lakers had to have had someone like him to get all of those banners. Thanks for posting it, TP!
