But just that there was an opening for me to come at this and really do this in a way where –

I use myself as a radar.

Like if I'm interested in this, I think most NBA fans are.

And like, what's the deal here?

What was this tenure actually like?

I think I can get to the, you know, shed some insight.

So that's kind of the answer there.

now what do you think bothered the lakers so much about this book do you think it was a particular characterization of one of the main characters involved short answers i don't know right so the short answer is i don't know i'll give the background here right so when you start the book you reach out reach out to the principles involved i'll do the lebron part quick lebron i spoke to him for 60 seconds in a locker room and i knew he's like go through adam adam nelson's his pr guy nba fans might even know his name by now right he's around enough um

They weren't going to participate.

I knew they weren't going to participate.

LeBron really doesn't do that anymore.

And power to him.

It's why he's going to sell his own soul.

They literally have cameras around him.

There's already a documentary, I'm sure, in the works.

Whatever.

So that...

the Lakers were different so the Lakers I reached out to and I had I met with Jeannie Buss twice off the record and I've said this before I only share that I wouldn't share that but she has talked about this in interviews so I feel like it's fair game where she's been like there's a writer writing a book who has said this to me and I'm like okay I thought we were off the record but I guess not I don't know and they weren't I don't she never really understood the project which is fine she like didn't think there was a need for it she didn't really understand like what there was like why there was

why anyone would want to do this book.

And that happens a lot from people inside, right?
