Both Los Angeles Lakers play-by-play man John Ireland, and TWC Sportsnet reporter Mike Trudell played in the ESPNLA 710 All-Star Celebrity Game. With Lakers forward Tarik Black coaching them, it was great fun for a great cause. The funds raised from the game benefited the Stuart Scott Memorial Cancer Research Fund for The V Foundation. Moreover, the tournament was sponsored by 24 Hour Fitness, and Scott’s former employer, ESPN, along with others.
Ireland and Trudell, as part of their jobs, know more about the Lakers than most anyone. So why not flip the script on them?
