You got Lakers and you got Celtics.

And meanwhile L A coach coming off the back to back road losses to the Sixers in the Pistons.

So what has to change tonight in order for LeBron and company to get back in the win column?

Well, I think the biggest thing is a sense of urgency, right?

I think so.

It happens to all of these great teams that have these lows, especially when they're away from home.

No one's in the crowd.

You know.

Stars are performers.

They get up to perform other than his legacy, which is a big deal for me.

LeBron loves to play for crowds, and so he has to find new motivations to get up.

And I think the Celtics is gonna definitely be a team that gets him up because that's a team that can be waiting for them at the end.

The six has already got him on this trip, so I know the Lakers are gonna try toe, initiate some urgency and their details in their effort to try to get a big win in Boston.

Well, Coach and I know you know this is, well, LeBron part of that Heat team in those early 2010 decades where they ripped off.

I mean, you guys ripped off those win streaks, talking double digit win streaks, manufacturing the urgency that you're talking about.

Meanwhile, as we talk to you and you're out there in California as a young Lakers fan yourself growing up in the L A area, right, what are some of your favorite snapshots from this Celtics Lakers rival?

Oh, man, I mean, right away.

The first thing I think about is the physicality and the battles and the fight.

So the clothes line right out the gate when you talk about Mikael Rambis and these guys, what it meant to them and what they were willing to do toe win the game.

These two teams hated each other.

This is really rivalry, right?

And and they weren't even call it a flagrant fouls.

There it was.

Get up and play.

You shoot a couple of free throws, everybody go back to your corner.

So that was really what stood out to me was just the absolute clashes.

And then, you know, as you move through the history of it, e remember seeing vividly, you know, the Celtics crowd, run it out on the court and swarming the Lakers team and literally like just ants just taking them off the court.

I couldn't imagine I was so sad because the Lakers the losses.

I was a little kid.

And then, obviously, what could it have been like, You know?

And if I was a Laker in that crowd, he has swept away by Celtics fans.

That would have been horrific for me as a Laker.

But then the last thing, obviously, was my hero growing up the great Magic Johnson when he exercised all those demons and he came across that lane with that baby hook over three Celtics, you know that will be burned in my memory forever.

I think that really took magic from where he was, which was incredible right to super super mega status, because he did it in Boston against the rivalry on and again, he was my hero.

So you know those things stand out to me from my Laker.
