Episode Description

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss the red-hot start for the Lakers, Bronny James’ early-season performance, whether LeBron’s time in L.A. is nearing its end and they debate who deserves that fourth spot on the NBA’s Mount Rushmore of current players alongside Steph, KD, and LeBron.

The Los Angeles Lakers are 7-2 and sit 2nd in the Western Conference behind the 8-1 Oklahoma City Thunder after defeating the San Antonio Spurs last night. How has Bronny James been performing? Reese says the Lakers don’t need LeBron James and should trade him. Is he right?

If the NBA had a Mount Rushmore of current players, given Steph, KD & LeBron are there, who should be 4th?
