LeBron Says He Wants to Retire (many years from now) as a Laker! Plus, the Lakers' Draft Needs.

As part of his Space Jam promotional tour, LeBron James appeared on the "Smartless" podcast with Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes, and among many subjects, touched on his basketball future. In a nutshell, he wants to play another several years, and all of them in a Laker uniform. What's crazy is how absolutely sane the notion of him playing well into his forties feels. LeBron also talked about his future in Hollywood, and what he could have in common with Denzel Washington, Liam Neeson and The Rock. From there, the Kamenetzkys break down what type of player the Lakers should target with the 22nd pick, assuming they keep it. Should they target a high ceiling, or a high floor? What skills should they covet? Is it even possible to find a multifaceted player late in the first round? Finally, Team USA lost what is ultimately an insignificant game against Nigeria, but basketball fans are still freaking out. Why do American basketball fans lose their minds over this stuff? Does it reflect some of our worst characteristics as a country? Plus, Andy mocks the sheeple who care about Olympic sports once every four years because they're told to. Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: LeBron wants to retire a Laker, and not for a while. What are the implications of this, and more importantly, how will this affect his potential next act as a Hollywood action hero? SEGMENT 2: If the Lakers keep their first round pick, what kind of player should they target? SEGMENT 3: Is it really that big of a deal if Team USA -- and by extension, America -- isn't THE BEST in the world at basketball anymore, considering how this country set out to make the game more global in the first place?
