Summary

Don’t look now, but the Lakers are suddenly healthy as the NBA regular season enters its final couple of weeks.

Today, guest host Justin Tinsley talks to Dave McMenamin, who takes us inside Lebron’s surprise return to the court, details his conversation with AD about the big man’s battles to get back and stay on the court, and explains how the future of Lakers basketball is under evaluation…right now.
