PETE ZAYAS
About this episode

The Lakers are the NBA's inaugural In-Season Tournament Champions! In part one of two pod of their discussion of the Lakers run to the IST Title, Pete, Mike, and Darius zoom out to look at the tournament as a whole, what stood out to them about the Lakers approach to the games, and how LeBron and AD's leadership set the tone for the team's play throughout the tournament. And then later, the guys discuss how the Lakers used the IST as both a way to help them develop and grow their identity and style of play, and also as an experience tool for some of their younger players.
