Under Frank Vogel, the Lakers have gone 49-14, which the best record in the Western Conference. Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports

Frank Vogel showed off a sense of humor in a funny video clip with Los Angeles Lakers reporters on Friday.

The Lakers had workouts on Friday as they prepare for the resumption of the NBA season in Orlando. Vogel, who is in his first season as the Lakers' head coach, spoke with reporters and had some fun with them. As you can see, he pretended to talk without making any noise, leading them to think there was an audio issue.

“I was just messing with you guys,” Vogel joked. “I was faking the mute. I was faking it.”

Who knew Vogel could have fun like that? Maybe having several months off and the lack of persistent pressure and questions about his team have reduced his stress level and revived the 47-year-old’s soul.

The Lakers were 49-14 when the season went on hiatus, which was the best record in the Western Conference. They are among the favorites to win the championship.
