Summary
First (3:00), Colin reacts to the Lakers comeback OT play-in win over the T’Wolves, despite some sloppy play, and if they are equipped to make a playoff run.
Then, LeBron author Jeff Benedict joins Colin to discuss the behind the scenes mechanics of ‘The Decision’, the Knicks over-the-top failed pitch, why Pat Riley’s pitch struck the right note, how LeBron bounced back from the low point of a Finals loss to the Mavs, his first meeting with Michael Jordan, why he's incorrectly blamed for the birth of the Super Team, when he knew he was the best player in the world, Jay-Z’s influence, and why he decided to publicly push back against former President Trump.
