| 0:00.0 | What do you think about the Laker team now? |
| 0:03.0 | You follow the box scores of the games every day? |
| 0:06.0 | Just the Lakers. |
| 0:07.0 | You're kidding. |
| 0:08.0 | That is really a compliment. |
| 0:13.0 | I was pleased to see you smile at the top bar show because once the game starts, you have a game face. |
| 0:18.0 | You don't smile much out there. |
| 0:20.0 | I don't think you have to do things for money anymore. Correct. What's up, Laker fans? Welcome to the Laker Thunerun Programme podcast. I'm Pete, joined by Darius. And forgive us, Kareem.

| 1:23.7 | AD was also first team all defense. |
| 1:26.0 | And so he's clearly one of the elite players. and they've both sort of carried over what were fantastic regular seasons to Team USA. The thing that is even more intriguing to me, Pete, and I'm sure people are going to be tired of talking about this over the next week or two weeks or however long the team USA run starts, |
