00:00You know, if you think about it, the Boston Celtics are your blue-collar franchise, right?

00:13The toughness of the Northeast, the greenness of Boston. But me being 47 years old, growing

00:20up, when I had the Converse weapons, Pharrell, I know you had a pair of weapons. I didn't

00:27have the green and white birds. I had the white, purple, and gold magics.

00:31Right.

00:32By the way, shout out to Converse for bringing the weapons back. I don't know why you're

00:39charging $120 damn dollars for it, but that's a story for another day. But to me, there

00:46was nothing better than watching the Lakers and you see Kareem outlet magic. Boom, boom,

00:54boom. Throw it to Byron Scott running a wing. Here comes James Worthy. Allie Koop. Throw

00:59an Allie Koop to Michael Cooper, right? That style. It was amazing because out of all things

01:04I was watching this morning, ESPN had the Lakers-Celtics, you know, thing on. The first

01:11one.

01:12Right, I saw it.

01:13And it was really cool. I was watching this morning as I was getting ready. And if you

01:16really thought about it, the way, like, the excitement that the Lakers brought. Like,

01:23going to a Lakers game when they're good. Kind of like, in a way, like the Knicks are

01:29good. It's an event. It's the place to be. There's nothing more exciting to me as a basketball

01:39purist than the Lakers being great and them running in showtime. To me, when the Boston's

01:47great, you know, maybe I hate Boston, but to me, if you're asking me the most exciting

01:51team to watch over history, it's the Lakers. It's not even close. And the best thing I

01:56loved to watch was that showtime Lakers from 80 to like 91 when they lost to the Bulls.
