Summary

There's been a lot of talk of late about Lakers glory, and their iconic players. After several months of waiting, the franchise unveiled the 2020 championship banner Wednesday night, which capped a strange title run, and 2021 hasn't gotten any less weird. It joins 16 other banners, several of which are connected to Jerry West, who just voiced deep offense to being omitted from Jeanie Buss' recent (and totally offhand) list of the top 5 Most Important Lakers of all-time. While he absolutely should be on such a list, his outrage feels, frankly, a little much. From there, talk of Kobe Bryant's posthumous Hall of Fame induction, which will take place over the weekend. This will undoubtedly be a bittersweet moment for Bryant's family, peers and basketball fans. We recount our 10 seasons covering Kobe, and what made him so endlessly fascinating. Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers dropped their 17th banner, which was fun to watch, but also a reminder of how strange the NBA has been during the pandemic. Also, Jerry West is angry at Jeanie Buss for reasons that feel very Jerry West. SEGMENT 2: Kobe Bryant will be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame over the coming weekend. We discuss our memories of covering the Laker legend, and why his career resonated so strongly. SEGMENT 3: More thoughts on Kobe's HOF induction, including what his speech would have been like, and who he might have inducted in the future. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
