What do you think about the Laker team now?

You follow the box scores of the games every day?

Just the Lakers.

You're kidding.

That is really a compliment.

I was pleased to see you smile at the top bar show because once the game starts, you have a game face.

You don't smile much out there.

I don't think you have to do things for money anymore. Correct. What's up, Laker fans? Welcome to the Laker Film Room podcast, brought to by the Blue Wire Podcast Network. I'm Pete, joined by Darius. And today, we're going to talk some LeBron James. LeBron made a surprise return, the last game of the homestand against Chicago. The game did not go well, but I was thrilled to see him back in action, Dee. They gave the media a little bit of an okey-doke. They were talking about, you know, LeBron being available last three games of the year. And he came back with eight left. I think that's a huge development, D, because we saw in that game, it's just an adjustment. Austin was talking about this in postgame. Like, you just play differently when you have a guy like that out there that's going to have the ball. And we played well in his minutes. We didn't lose that game because of the minutes he played. But just getting kind of back on track requires some reps, especially with the team that has no continuity to fall back on. We'll see with

DeLo. This will be our 20th game since the trade deadline or since the new guys got here.

And there's only been one of them with both LeBron and Deelow. So hopefully Wednesday night is

that night. But talk to me, man. LeBron returns. I think it's a huge deal to kind of get some continuity

before knock on wood a play in game or a playoff game.

So first of all, 100% agree with all of that. Let's backtrack a second to the timeline.

And so this is where it's funny.

He went to the LeBron James of Feet, Darius, the LeBron James of Feet.

So you read the quote and it's funny enough, but you see, when you see the video and him sort of wondering, am I actually going to finish this sentence?

Right?

Like he, because he said, I went to the LeBron James of and then there's like a briefest

of pauses and this idea of, am I really going to say too far now?

And like I've gone too far now to turn back.

Two, three times a pod for me.

So I feel that.
