Summary

July 1 might as well be a holiday for Lakers fans, albeit a new one. In 2018, that's when the news broke that LeBron James would be coming to Los Angeles to join the Lakers. It took a minute, but James dragged the franchise out of a near-decade long rut, and even if he doesn't win another title in purple and gold goes down as one of the most influential Lakers of all time, just based on impact. We talk about that, then look back at the alternate universe in which James doesn't come, and the Lakers keep all the young guys. How good would that team be? Then, it's a look at the Western Conference Finals, and the rehab Paul George did to his image. Chris Paul, too, who finally makes a Finals in his 16th season. As a basketball culture, we need to celebrate winning, because it's hard, and perhaps focus on what players are doing as much as what they aren't. Finally, are the Lakers and Clippers going to be the offseason equivalent of the Spiderman Meme? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Hey, everybody. Welcome to Lockdown Lakers for Friday, Brian Kiminetski and Andy Kiminetski.

0:36.0

I want to let you know that today's episode is brought to you by Mikalova Ultra.

Enjoyment isn't the end game. It's the whole game and it only 2.6 carbs and 95 calories.

0:44.0

It's only worth it if you enjoy it.

0:46.0

Calories, of course, Andy. Very important is you go into the 4th of July holiday

0:49.0

because you don't want to be fat while you're at the pool barbecues and all that kind of stuff.

So a few things we want to get into. We're going to try to open the mailbag

and answer a few questions. We've gotten some good ones over the course of the week.

1:02.0

So we'll try to do that. The Sons and the Clippers.

1:06.0

They wrapped up a sort of a fascinating series.

1:10.0

Really entertaining series. I thought it was a really...

1:13.0

I mean, especially when you take in game 6 notwithstanding.

1:16.0

Right. Especially there were a lot of stories.

1:18.0

Well, especially when you take into account, too, like Kawaii Leonard missing the entirety of it.

1:23.0

Chris Paul being unavailable for some of it. It could have been a real slog from entertainment standpoint.

1:30.0

And by and large, I found it really fun.

1:33.0

It was a ton going on.

1:35.0

And so we're going to take a look at that series but also really look at the Clippers now.

1:39.0

Because at least in my mind, Andy, there's sort of a Spider-Man meme going on between the Lakers and the Clippers in terms of how each team is looking at their offseason.
