Norman Powell discusses Raptors championship and Lakers

In a recent ‘Player to Player’ interview, NBA players Norman Powell and Klay Thompson discussed their career milestones and professional connections. Powell reflected on his time with the 2019 championship Toronto Raptors, noting the unique bond formed during their historic title run, which was the first for a team outside the United States. He also touched upon his aspirations to strengthen the Jamaican national team by potentially recruiting players with Jamaican roots.

During a separate livestream interaction, Powell, who recently signed a two-year, $45 million contract with the Chicago Bulls, labeled the Los Angeles Lakers as the most ‘overrated’ team in the NBA. Powell, who previously played in the Los Angeles market for the Clippers and the Heat, made the comment during a brief exchange regarding NBA team hype.
