Lakers Talk HR 1: Greatness

About this episode

The episode discusses comparisons between Kobe's last Finals and Messi's World Cup Final, along with roster changes including Matisse Thybulle's signing.

Even though it's Lakers Talk, Trudell compared watching Lionel Messi in the World Cup Final to Kobe's last Finals appearance.  Then, Trudell says the Matisse Thybulle signing is a positive and could replace what some of what Marcus Smart used to do.  To react to Thybulle and the rest of the changes in the roster was Lakers Film Room's Pete Zayas.  Learn more about your ad choices.
