In part one of two pod of their discussion of the Lakers run to the IST Title, Pete, Mike, and Darius zoom out to look at the tournament as a whole, what stood out to them about the Lakers approach to the games, and how LeBron and AD's leadership set the tone for the team's play throughout the tournament.

| 0:00.0 | What do you think about the Laker team now? |
| 0:03.5 | You follow the box scores of the games every day? |
| 0:06.0 | Just the Lakers. |
| 0:07.3 | You're kidding. |
| 0:08.6 | That is really a compliment. |
| 0:12.8 | I was pleased to see you smile at the top bar show because once the game starts, you have a game face. |
| 0:17.8 | You don't smile much out there. |
| 0:20.4 | I don't think you have to do things for money anymore. |
| 0:22.9 | Correct. |
| 0:23.6 | What's up, Laker fans? |

But it was a ton of fun. Lakers win it all in Vegas. Get a little bit of money for everybody. Tell me your thoughts on all of it. |
| 1:24.3 | Well, I think I've spent so much time since we first heard about this, just trying to |
