Summary
The gals had too much to talk about this week, and LeBron James has been up to a lot, so they put together a quick special episode on the NBA star for your Thursday.
First off, a quick update to the prolonged fight between LeBron and ESPN talking head Stephen A Smith (0:44) (for a full primer, listen to this episode of SGS). It turns out that Mattel is making a LeBron James Barbie (3:00)? And the gals….love it? Someone send them a doll ASAP. In other commercial news, Savannah James, LeBron’s wife, is starting a high end skin care brand (5:02), and resident skin-care expert Madeline tells you everything you need to know about it.
Finally, the gals talk about actual basketball, and Charlotte issues an apology to the Lakers (10:24).
