Summary

Logan, Raja, and Howard discuss LeBron James’s Instagram post targeted at the people who “doubted” him after his move to Los Angeles, how NBA players spin narratives to motivate themselves, and what it’s like for athletes in the social media age who deal with constant criticism (1:12). Along the way, the guys react to James Harden’s early integration into the Los Angeles Clippers offense, the team’s rough start upon his arrival, and whether it’s time to hit the panic button (21:55). Next, they break down a handful of potential landing spots for Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine, and discuss which one makes the most sense (35:30). Later, Las Vegas Aces point guard Chelsea Gray joins the show to talk about winning back-to-back WNBA championships with the team, A’ja Wilson getting snubbed for MVP, having Hall of Famer Becky Hammon as a head coach, and more (55:32).
