Summary
Colin Cowherd reacts to the Lakers' shocking loss to the Magic after a botched final possession between Luka Doncic and LeBron James. Colin explains how this highlights the disconnect between Luka, LeBron and an unbalanced LA roster.
Basketball insider Jeff Goodman joins the show to provide the latest on the mercurial star from Kansas, Darryn Peterson, who’s the projected number 1 draft pick but has only played in 17 of their 28 games this season. Goodman also explains why Cooper Flagg has clearly already shown he’s an elite NBA player in his rookie season with the Mavericks.
