And so Russell Westbrook's not an idiot.

He knows what that means, right?

But yet at the same time, LeBron's being like, no, I love Russ, want Russ to be Russ, all that.

And Westbrook is frustrated because... And they're like...

There were press conference quotes of him saying, everyone said, let Russ be Russ, but then that wasn't the case.

Frustrations like that.

I mean, we can get to this later.

The notion that the partnership didn't work because LeBron didn't let Russ be Russ is ridiculous, but that's a separate conversation.

um anyway so okay back to us because that's the context here right uh and well so then the lakers do this thing they call the genius series where it's very lakers very rob palenka they bring in you know quote geniuses so the rock uh kendrick lamar elon musk before he was today's elon musk um others would come in and on this day will smith is coming in it's like six months after after the slap also which is funny i mean it's nothing to do with anything i just kind of find that funny in general

It was almost like his first public appearance after that was on Laker social media.

So I don't know.

So he's there.

So they finish the film session.

They're 0-3.

The season's not going well.

I don't think it's not a vicious film session, but the vibes aren't great.

And Darvin Hammond goes, okay, guys, I'm going to go get Will Smith now.

So he goes out and goes to go get Will Smith.

Pause for a second.

So Will Smith is walking around the Lakers office.
