In our weekly Lakers news, we mentioned LeBron James in the last segment,

0:11.1

LeBron sort of shocked the world by signing a two-year $97.1 million extension

0:18.5

with the Lakers that will keep him in Los Angeles until at least

0:22.4

2024. The funniest thing to me is not about the contract. It's not the fact that he couldn't

0:30.4

get more money because he was too old and dusty, even though he's still elite. He apparently

0:36.4

LeBron is stealing your A-block. He is coming to destroy your life.

1:42.9

And you know what? It's time for you to talk

1:45.4

1:56.0

future. No, Taco Tuesday is LeBron Day every single time.
