Is This the Least Fun Laker Season Ever? Plus, We talk HBO's "Winning Time!"
Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers - Ein Podcast von Locked On Podcast Network, Andy and Brian Kamenetzky
There's no beating around the bush. This Lakers season has been absolutely brutal to watch. But has it been the least fun season ever, or at the very least, of the modern era. Andy Kamenetzky ponders this and other items with special guest Greg Bergman (@BergmanGreg), a lifelong Lakers fan and the producer of Mason and Ireland on 710 ESPN in Los Angeles. Forget wins and losses. In terms of enjoyability (or lack thereof) and disappointment, does this season top everything in recent memory? Andy offers up two challengers to the throne. From there, a look at the future with LeBron James and Anthony Davis. How confident is Greg in the team remaining built around them for the foreseeable future? There's still reason to believe with LeBron and AD on the court, that's a strong 1-2 punch. But how often will they actually be on the court to begin with, given the recent injuries? Then again, is there even another route to realistically go down? From there, a look at the past, and HBO's hit series, "Winning Time," which retells (with some notable liberties) the success and drama of the Showtime Lakers. The actual organization, plus folks like Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Norm Nixon, are not necessarily fans of the show. Is it understandable why? Host: Andy Kamenetzky, with special guest Greg Bergman. Segment One: Least... Fun... Ever??? Segment Two: What does the future hold with LeBron and AD? Segment Three: "Winning Time!" Really fun, but are they doing the real people, and in particular, Jerry West, dirty? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
