| 0:00.0 | What do you think about the Laker team now? |
| 0:03.4 | You follow the box scores of the games every day? |
| 0:06.0 | Just the Lakers. |
| 0:07.3 | You're kidding. |
| 0:08.6 | That is really a compliment. |
| 0:12.8 | I was pleased to see you smile at the top bar show because once the game starts, you have a game face. |
| 0:17.8 | You don't smile much out there. |
| 0:20.4 | I don't think you have to do things for money anymore. Correct. What's up, Laker fans? Welcome to the Laker Filmroom podcast, brought you by the Blue R. Podcast Network. I'm Pete, joined by Darius and Mike. And guys, yesterday I was working on a video about the 1987 Lakers. Today is the 35th anniversary of that team, which is generally regarded |
| 0:39.0 | as the best team of the Showtime era. And it was the fourth of the five Lakers titles |
| 0:43.8 | between 1980 and 1988. One thing that stood out to me from working on that was how much things |
| 0:50.8 | had changed but hadn't over the course of that time. |
| 0:57.5 | During the 1980 season, Kareem was the MVP of the league. |
| 1:01.3 | But by 87, he was 40 years old and still very good. |
| 1:08.0 | But James Worthy, who was a rookie coming off of the bench in 1982 for the 82 squad, |
| 1:10.0 | was clearly the second best player. |
| 1:27.7 | Kurt Rambis was still around. Kurt Rambis is eternal around here. I'm sure if you look at old Minneapolis Lakers photos, he's like the Continental Breakfast guy from Key and Peele, right? Like he's somewhere in the background. He was coming off the bench for that 87 team, and A.C. Green had taken that spot as kind of the rugged, tough guy that was going to get you boards and provided motor and athleticism next to Kareem. And you still had, though, |
| 1:33.3 | magic and Kareem as the central pieces of it, but it looked different. And that brings me to game |
| 1:39.3 | five of the NBA finals this year. The Warriors ended up winning that pivotal game, but not in the way that |
| 1:45.0 | we've come to expect over the years. They shot 22% from three. Steph Curry goes 0 for 9. Play is the |
| 1:52.0 | only starter that even hits a three, but they end up getting a pretty well-rounded team effort |
| 1:57.2 | on both ends of the floor, probably led by Andrew Wiggins and his 26 points |
| 2:02.1 | and 13 boards. And so from working on that video, D, to watching Game 5 last night and |
