Welcome to the Big Suey, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging.
I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys?
I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.
This episode of the Dan Levitard Show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
Brian Windhorst has been saying a form of this for a while, but now he's just saying it flatly that the Lakers are going to ask LeBron to take a pay cut, potentially a significant one, for next season. Last night, LeBron was crying during his return to Cleveland. Crocodile tears. Really? You guys don't think any of that was sincere last night? You thought that that was all optics? You all are bringing your cynicism to this?
Major crocodile tears, Dan. Dan, Dan, thank goodness there just so happened to be a box of tissues underneath his seat on the bench. Because that's commonplace, right? Thank goodness there was a box of tissues for him to wipe away the tears he knew he was going to have.
I mean, we have a box of tissues here because South Beach Sessions could get vulnerable and we always have it here in the event that anybody needs some tissues. You love that move. Which move? Passing the tissues to the guest. Yeah, that's such a great interviewer move. Here, take these. I don't love that move. You do.
My Christians are so great. You do. We happen to have tissues there.
We've gotten good at the move because there are so many tears on South Beach.
When you bite the lip, too, as you do it.
You guys love to be cynical about vulnerability.
What are the implications of LeBron's emotional moment during his return to Cleveland?
You guys love to criticize when people cry. Why is he crying? I imagine it's a combination of age, appreciation that you don't have at the time that you're young when you look back at things and memories and you're at the end of your career and whatever it is your identity was at the top of this sport. My guess is that memories. Greg Code has been crying more at 71 than I've ever seen in his life.
He does acknowledge in postgame. He won't say it indefinitely. He's like, this might be.
But LeBron is in the portion of his career that Greg is in the portion of his life. He's about to bury the person that he has been for the last 20 some odd years.
But he's been warmly received consistently in Cleveland since he won them that title. Right? So it's not like, I don't know if the novelty of, you know, my first time back here after leaving this franchise, they threw batteries at me, and now I'm being cheered. I don't know if that novelty ever wears off, but I've got to imagine it gets diluted because, you know, he's done it a lot. It's also LeBron. Like, he could get traded to a team that he feels better on, and then he goes and plays Cleveland four more times the next year.
Okay, but this part, right? I don't know what that team could be. This part is, to me, always interesting, right? Kobe used to say that the one that mattered to him the most is the one that he got without Shaq because he proved it to himself. LeBron getting the championship in Cleveland, very few people, like that's the best moment of his career and life, and there will be nothing like that. And Crocodile Tears, when you mention it, Zaz, it reminds me, Stugatz patented not knowing what Crocodile Tears were.
I'm telling you guys, you were on stage. Dan and I were both crying. Like crocodile tears.
Crocodile tears are fake. Crocodile tears are fake. I thought they meant big. David Sampson is with us now.
How do the hosts interpret LeBron's tears as crocodile tears?
He's always good for cynicism in all circumstances. So I would assume, I would just guess off the top of my head, even though you've been more emotional lately than I've ever seen you, that you think that LeBron's tears were crocodile tears. What say you?
Oh, I think they were actual. I think when it's the end of an era, you know it.
