What do you think about the Laker team now?

You follow the box scores of the games every day?

Just the Lakers.

You're kidding.

That is really a compliment.

I was pleased to see you smile at the top bar show because once the game starts, you have a game face.

You don't smile much out there.

I don't think you have to do things for money anymore.

Correct.

What's up, Laker fans? Welcome to the Laker Film Room podcast, brought you by the Blue Wire Podcast Network.

I'm Pete, joined by Darius and Mike. And yesterday we got to get to know our new head coach a little bit better,

had our introductory press conference for Darvinham. Rob Polinka had some opening comments in which I think the most revealing thing that he

said was that Ham was the unanimous choice of the coaching committee that they put together

that consisted of him, Kurt Rambus, Jesse and Joey Bus.

I think one or two other people were involved in that as well. And then

we got to meet Darwin Ham over the course of about 30 minutes. And Dee, you always talk about

kind of galvanize people and instill some belief. And I walked out of that press conference,

like, all right, when did we get started? You know, and so I, we had Russell Westbrook was there, which I was a little surprised about.

Wenin was there, Stanley, Austin Reeves was there.
