Christmas is great, but there's loads of ways to make it better.

Like sneaking some chili into the gravy for some extra oint or building a playlist that will even

get your nann up on the table or just cracking open an ice cold Pepsi Max.

Christmas better with Pepsi Max. Christmas. Better with Pepsi Max. Welcome everybody to the Lockdown Lakers podcast. I'm Anthony Erwin.

I am not joined by anybody as of right now, but after a brief introduction I'm going to

throw to a conversation I just recorded with George Sedano of ESPN he is

everywhere all over there all over their platforms and I could not possibly be happier for one of the nicer guys,

nicest guys really in the

industry finding that much success it's really cool to watch. I'm just going to briefly talk and

preview tomorrow night's game against the

Phoenix game over the weekend and and and then I'll throw to that conversation I just want to get out of the way because it was a really good conversation we talked about the season in general and how LeBron has felt

about it maybe and how the city has handled this first season of LeBron how the Lakers have handled

this first season of LeBron it's a it's a really fun conversation and then in the

second segment we're gonna talk a little bit about this whole Carmelo Anthony situation and look I know that the more I talk about it the more I breathe oxygen into it and that fire just keeps on burning. But with guests like George Sedano and previous guests where I've

talked to people who covered LeBron in Cleveland, LeBron speaks a certain

language almost and I think it's important to get that

context from people who have spoken that language for a while now to kind of understand and grasp where he might be coming

from, why he might prefer to, because a lot of people I'm sure are kind of scratching their heads like

LeBron how aren't you seeing this with Carmel? How aren't you seeing that this guy just isn't very good, right?

And so we're gonna we're gonna talk a little bit about that and how the Lakers are looking at the situation and then also just at the very end there
