    if he won with this team as currently constructed...... that would be very unexpected. Unprecedented. Noteworthy. It would impress a LOT of people for sure.

    I think we still need a proven closer. I don't see anyone we have stepping into that role, and Lebron can't do it full time. Nor does he want to.

    The thing is in the back of every Laker fan is the imagined possibility of it happening lol wouldn't that be epic if we won it all this year.

    Does anybody think the guy to Lebron’s left (Rich Paul?) rolls his eyes at the beginning when Lebron says he’s the greatest of all time? To me the guy doesn’t look that impressed.

    There sure weren't jumping in with unbridled support, and I thought that was odd. I wonder if he blindsided them....

    While I agree with this in terms of being sports commentators, I actually saw a very good interview with Whitlock when he was just being a real person as opposed to "Mr. Hot Take Sports Guy." It's so unfortunate what this current entertainment culture turns people into. I was expecting Whitlock the blowhard, but I got a thoughtful, intellectual man who I may not have agreed with on everything, but he actually made me respect him a little bit.

    Being blindsided has been our way ever notice not a single guy in that pic, including Mitch, is with the organization anymore except for Hart? (and revisit this if AD ends up wanting out)...

    Hart wasn’t in that pic tho

    :Crazyartest:

    DLO, Randle, Nance, Clarkson

    With Jim Buss, Jeanie Buss, Mitch Kupchak, John Ireland, and of course Byron Scott

    But yes, that one was a labor of love.

    Crazy that the only person still working with the team is Jeannie (from an actual basketball decision standpoint).

    I'm sure LeBron has been putting up 1000 FT's a day though while rehabbing. At least I'm pretty sure. Maybe. I hope.

    That outfit looks like a Where's Waldo and Richard Simmons collaboration. This might be worse than the short suit slash purse ensemble from last year's finals. This is as bad as anything in Russel Westbrook's closet.
