Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson lives quite the life. He is always working on releasing a movie, he is working out and keeping up his buff body, and he is always going around to talk with different groups of people.

Last Tuesday, one of those speeches was to the Los Angeles Lakers before their game with the Denver Nuggets. The Rock's message must have worked because the Lakers came out fired up and they ended up winning the game 112-103.

Johnson took to Instagram to share his photo with the team, saying that he thinks it could have been something different that helped lead the Lakers to the big victory.

In the post, he said that he saw a lot of “hungry eyes” which really isn't a surprise because the Lakers have been playing with a different sense of urgency as of late, and it has led to a lot more success.

Earlier in the season, the Lakers looked like they were going to be one of the worst teams in the NBA and that maybe they weren't heading in the right direction.

But they have been playing better the last couple of months, and although they have lost three games in a row, they are playing more like a team and the future does look bright.

The big question going into the offseason though is have they done enough this season to get Paul George or LeBron James to join their ranks?

It had always been assumed that George would join the Lakers after this season, but now with the Oklahoma City Thunder playing well, it doesn't seem as much of a slam dunk.
