    Lebron looks like he doesn't want to be there. I am right there with him. The amount of ball washing going on is nauseating from the Spectrum crew. Just want the games to start. On top of that, listening to morons like Bill Plaschke ask stupid, irrelevant questions, got the viewer ZERO worth of information that matters in this press conference. "AHHH, how will doing movies and basketball work". REALLY? You f***ing losers are so called journalists and we are at a BASKETBALL press conference to start the year, and all you are asking is what movies he is doing and how that's going to work?

    No one thought of asking Lebron, welcome to LA Lebron, how does it feel to be the King and finally wear Purple and Gold(Colors of royalty)? Something cool, something fun, something informative that excites. Instead, we get losers asking stupid loser tabloid questions. f***ing idiots.

    It's strange but on the other hand I've seen him in the P and G in pictures and the whole thing seemed almost inevitable this summer. It was still a welcome shock when we actually got him, but this whole time it's felt right to me. And you know I'm not a fan of his. But I'll take the best player in the game on my team if possible and I'll be happy about it.

    My gawd, Ingram still looks like a sudanese refugee. Let's hope Bron shows him what's what...
    He could use a new haircut as well.

    Luke talking about Rondo right now, love what I’m hearing. Said he called Alvin Gentry and asked “how could you let this guy go?”. Talking about how much he does off the court, like immediately getting Kuz in the film room watching tape on defense, walking Zo through a whole game with Magic, pg to pg. Zo in his interview also said Rondo is the smartest person basketball-wise he’s ever talked to, so again, loving what I’m hearing.

    I've definitely noticed this too.



    Brandon talking more in depth into what he's worked on and what he's really excited about.

    That Rondo interview on Spectrum Sportsnet set straight FIRE! The perfect guy for our team and he's just as excited, which was cool to see and hear.

    He also referred to himself in the 3rd person at least 4 or 5 times, 3 in one sentence, so that’s going to be an adjustment.

    Regarding media day, but not so much Lakers team related, I highly enjoyed the new addition to the media side Allie Clifton being at the desk instead of Bres. Bres is fine out there interviewing guys, because all he has to do is ask questions, but at the desk he blends in with the furniture. I thought Allie had much more natural interactions with players, especially one she’s familiar with in LeBron.

    Lonzo looks like he got fatter, specifically the arms do look thicker, which is what we all wanted. But it doesn’t look like the mass he gained was muscle mass, but more just... body fat lol

    I am liking Rondo though... like, I get these Ron Artest vibes, you know? OR, if we are talking ex-C Bags, Rick Fox vibes.

    Had to go see who Allie Clifton is since just sat down and have seen zip of the interviews so far. She's an ex baller .... that's certainly a plus and looks like she has been in media reporting on the game for awhile. #11.

    That's not fat .... come on. And that sure as f*** is not any closer to classic Lakers gold again than last year. Frickin' canary yellow. Don't understand why Lakers let Nike do that.

    It’s possible he gained some weight not being able to play ball for months. But he used the time in the weight room. Any extra “fat” can be quickly burned off in training camp/preseason/early season games. That’s easy to take off at his age and how fast he plays. Not worried at all.
