Lakers Exceptionalism, You're Our Only Hope May 29, 2019

Show notes

Christian is tired of this game the Lakers are playing, and Sasha is here to help. She tries to bring hope to a world-weary Christian on the back of a scathing and highly detailed report from Baxter Holmes of ESPN, which contained itemized receipts of all the nastiness and betrayal within the Lakers organization. It is truly winter in Lakerland, when we must subsist on scuttlebutt alone, but Sasha and Christian dream of spring, when Lebron James (and hopefully another superstar) will don the purple and gold once more.
