    Maybe the funniest clip of the interviews



    This is a well deserving runner up, though...THT's reaction to AR's nickname

    Point of emphasis: here to learn




    Emphasized the importance of making things easier for Bron and AD and that he'll figure out his offense later as they go. Also discussed a helpful convo he had with Dudz (at AD's wedding, I think) about the team and where Dudz saw him fitting, etc.

    glad to hear that AD's achilles was fine even before the playoffs. interesting to hear him talk about the center spot. made it sound like we might have an inconsistent starting lineup in the regular season, which is pretty unusual, but i support the strategy.

    "i'm feeling really good!"

    Have I mentioned how much I love this Dwight? The guy is absolutely great! I don't remember him being like this in his very first stint with the Lakers.

    He's always been this guy. He just wasn't allowed to be when he played with Kobe. Kobe wanted killers. Dwight is a pretty rose with thorns.

    yes and no; he's been fun-loving, but he was also petulant and moody as a younger player, and his unwillingness to accept his role caused problems. once he accepted his role, everyone else accepted his personality.

    he wanted to be the man AND be a jester of sorts. it doesn't really work.

    I dig it!




    Melo looks more natural Lakers gear. Seeing Russ in them is a good weird.

    Didn't take long for Russ and 'Do to go head to head. They're loving that matchup
