About this episode

Max and Rich discuss LeBron's decision-making pressure, the Lakers' improvements, and the Tim Donaghy controversy.

Rich took in the World Cup final yesterday, and both he and Max are back from New York to start another week of Game Over. Where is LeBron going? That’s the question on everyone's mind in the NBA and sports media, but Rich wonders why he’s being pressured to rush his decision (4:46). Have the Lakers made themselves a better team going into next season (21:04)? Then, is the Tim Donaghy clip being blown out of proportion (36:10)? Plus, we get to your emails and voicemails!
