LeBron James, a shout in history.

17 NBA Championship.

Hello, Lakers Nation.

Welcome into the Lakers Nation.com podcast.

I am Trevor Lane.

You can find me over on X at Trevor underscore Lane on Instagram and threads at Trevor Lane, NBA. I know what you're thinking. What? Another Lakers Nation podcast already. That's right, because there's a back to back. We've got plenty to get through to break down tonight's matchup with the Orlando Magic. I've got some chat questions from last night's loss to the Sacramento Kings. Oh, man, that one definitely still stings.

We've got questions to break down, plus some news that we need to get into as well.

So kind of a bonus episode of the show here, but I've got, man, so much to talk about.

So let's dive right into it.

Starting with the news that came out this

morning, the NBA has released special courts that are going to be used for the in-season tournament.

I know a lot of people, not fans of the in-season tournament. Let me stress, again, these count as

regular season games. So even if you don't dig the whole in-season tournament idea,

it is still a regular season game. However, I've been telling people, you know what,

if you don't like the in-season tournament, you're saying, ah, it's too much like soccer. I don't

want that. Just ignore it. Well, my advice is going to be a little bit more difficult to follow.

Because now the NBA has these special courts that are going to essentially be impossible to ignore.

Here's the Lakers special in-season tournament court.

And honestly, at first glance, I went, whoa, that's a lot of yellow.

But it's kind of grown on me.

Kind of grown on me. Kind of grown on me.
