We are BACK this week, and we get right into the Lakers "Chip on their shoulder" mentality and how guys like Anthony Davis are pushing the narrative that the Lakers are underdogs. Rob is also really impressed by Kawhi Leonard and Zion Williamson coming into the season in such great shape and waiting to see what their games look like coming off injuries. Plus Rob calls BS on Patrick Beverley's narrative about him and Westbrook becoming best friends since linking up on the Lakers, and how when Russ gave Pat Bev's sister courtside seats it wasn't a good gesture but more a ploy to soften him up. Rob also compares the Ime Udoka controversy to Phil Jackson dating Jeanie Buss, and explains how Phil and Jeanie had disclosed their relationship to management and neither was with another person at the time. And as Ben Simmons is now telling his side of the Philadelphia departure, Rob says where exactly Ben went wrong with how he handled practice issues with Doc Rivers. Plus our take on Rhianna as the Super Bowl Halftime performer, Ken Dorsey's epic meltdown, John Cena's Big Shot of the Week, and we play a round of our "Chip on our Shoulder" game.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
