Description

Lakers owner Jeanie Buss made it clear in a recent interview that LeBron James will have his number retired by the Lakers once his playing days are over. Whether he'll have to wait to formally enter the Hall of Fame, which is itself a requirement for jersey retirement with this franchise, we'll wait and see. (I think we can all agree it would be safe for the Lakers to raise his number before the HOF actually performs the ceremony - he seems like a pretty safe bet for admission...)So GOAT candidate who won a title with the team, helped lead them through a very dark time after Kobe Bryant's death, went to a Western Conference Finals, became the NBA's leading scorer, etc. -- good enough for jersey retirement, but that doesn't tell the whole story.Where would LeBron rank in terms of Lakers legacy, relative to the other greats that have also had their jersey's retired? Is he more Wilt or Magic? Which end of the spectrum are we talking about, here?How much does that matter? What might it take for LeBron to become statue worthy, if he's not already? (And we assume most Lakers fans would say he is not at that point yet.)Meanwhile, Monday's show was about as thorough a scouting report as you can get on any one player. Three interviews, spanning each of the three teams Cam Reddish played for before signing with the Lakers this summer. What were the highlights of each stop? What were the lowlights. We react to a show that if you missed, you need to go back and watch.HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: LeBron will have his jersey retired. No real surprise there.SEGMENT 2: But what about a statue? Because with the Lakers, that's a bigger "legacy" conversation than just a visit to the rafters?SEGMENT 3: Reacting to Reddish.
