Welcome to First Things First. Will Luca finished with a better career than his Mab's mentor, Dirk?

Who should Patriots fans want under center? Cam Newton or Mac Jones?

And is Jordan Love ready to prove he is Aaron Rogers' air appearance.

Good morning, welcome the first things first, Joy Taylor, alongside LaVar, Arington, and Chris Broussard. Good morning, guys. We are filling in all week. Good to see you. Lavaar, I think

we can call this Chapter 2 of the Love Story. Because we start in Los Angeles.

Yesterday, Russell Westbrook was introduced as a Laker.

The Blockbuster Trade on Draft Day brought Russ home to L.A. to form a big three with Braun and the brow.

And now Russ says the focus shifts to one thing, a title.

Let's take a listen.

So real, I think it still hasn't kind of

hit me yet. Being from

L.A., growing up,

not too far from here, been able to

watch the parades,

try to go to a mid-school to try to go to them, being a Laker fan and being from LA.

But now everything coming full circle for me is a blessing.

Each year I try to find ways like Rob mentioned to be able to uplift and make my teammates better around me.

And AD and Brian are friends of mine's first.

And me being their teammate, my job is to come in and uplift them.

And they do the same with me, vice versa.

And as a season prolonged, we will figure it out.

There will be ups.
