| 0:04.2 | 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 | signed it literally seconds after the NBA schedule |
| 0:42.3 | was released. Who do you know in the NBA who is more of an attention ho than LeBron James? |

| 1:42.9 | And you know what? It's time for you to talk |
| 1:45.4 | about me, what this means for LeBroni, Bronny Jr., what this means for the Lakers, what this means for |
| 1:50.7 | clutch, how much money I just made, how impactful that is, what that means for Russell Westbrook's |
| 1:56.0 | future. No, Taco Tuesday is LeBron Day every single time. |
