Sean Schroner has been a young NBA reporter growing growing growing breaking more stories than anybody on the beat for years and years so whenever he's in town

he is a Chicago native which by the way I was there two weeks ago we have I have an affinity for Chicago Joy love Chicago to my wife spent time there so any Chicago guy that wants on the show we just you bet

by the way Loyola what class 2017 look how young you just how and Lord's name did four years ago you're studying physics and now you're breaking all the NBA stories

I don't know how much physics I was studying you know you're a great story man so you let's we got a bunch of stuff here there's a story out on Anthony Davis of the Laker Shoms what's the very latest yes the sources tell me

Lakers group playing again in might that was a special year for them right they wanted championship anytime you want a

championship a lot of stuff has to go right health is a big factor in that you saw the way Anthony Davis whenever you get hit whenever he
