Throwback Hoops Episode 221- LeBron to Philly, NBA and NBL signings, True/false & more!

Sounds good.

I'll show you who I'm rocking today.

And it's, yeah, the only jersey I've got of this kind, a fairly recent edition as well.

And for those who can't see, Robbie's wearing the LeBron James Lakers jersey.

You didn't think it was going to be Cedric Sabalis, did you, when you saw that number? No,

no, I think I knew you would be wearing that LeBron jersey.

So maybe instead of going into his accolades and his career, why don't you tell me a little bit about how we're going to reflect on his time in LA, right?

Yeah, for sure.

Look, maybe before I even start with that, I think I've mentioned the whole LeBron thing.

I never owned a LeBron jersey until late last year.

I nearly bought a Cleveland one when I was overseas.

I think he's either his rookie season or his second season just for some reason never bought one so i wasn't hating on him or anything else like that i've always liked lebron but yeah stranger it took me that long to get one and then with my normal jersey curse which seems to be a real thing at the moment woods i bought this and then he ended up leaving the lakers but yeah look it's interesting i think looking back at his time at the lakers um you know one championship i don't know it's in the bubble as well yeah in the bubble um but you know he was there quite a long time um Maybe you would have expected a little bit more.

I don't know if that's being harsh and just sort of being a bit critical of someone like LeBron there.

He certainly had some good teammates around him over those years as well.

He really did.

I mean, I don't think people can deny that.

So yeah, look, I look back at it.

It was a big move for him to go there.

He'd done the Cleveland-Miami-back-to-Cleveland thing and that.

So it was big sort of getting out of the Eastern Conference and really going to the other side of the country there.

you know i had that instant success um but yeah maybe a little bit of a what if i think if i'm if i'm looking back at things to be completely honest there yeah what about you

yeah i think you're right you know after that championship having ad there um you know you thought that they might have been able to build from that but 80s questionable injury status.

I don't know.

I don't think everything fell into place for him.

They had some competitive series, didn't they? Where they just went down and just didn't have enough.

Sounds good.
