LeBron was always going to the Lakers

LeBron James’ most ‘Decision’ to join the Lakers was the biggest story of the NBA offseason, but Colin thinks LeBron made up his mind to move to L.A. a long time ago and no other team ever had a chance.

Colin pointed out that in less than a month, LeBron has already done a massive pizza promotion, closed a movie deal, and has an HBO show premiering. All of these take planning and coordination well in advance, which leads him to believe that LeBron knew he was coming to L.A. well before his announcement. The meeting with Magic wasn’t a recruiting meeting, it was a strategy session. The ‘Decision” was made long ago. No one else ever had a prayer.

KD has the worst case of rabbit ears of any pro athlete

Kevin Durant has been all over social media recently, and is now directly confronting trolls from his main account instead of a burner. KD says he plans to keep engaging with the haters and speaking his mind to people that don’t matter.

Colin thinks KD has always had a heightened sensitivity to criticism that has been amplified since he joined Golden State, and doesn’t understand why he cares, but he does.  KD has three titles is and generationally rich, but he has the biggest rabbit ears of any professional athlete. It’s not close.
