Lakers Podcast: ESPN's Mike Tirico talks D'Angelo Russell, Kobe Bryant's farewell tour, Stephen Curry and more

Many have complained about the Los Angeles Lakers getting so many nationally televised games this season, but those cries have mostly centered around the team struggling so mightily rather than the broadcasts themselves.

One of the main voices behind the next next two Lakers' games (Friday, March 4th at 7:30 PST against the Atlanta Hawks on ESPN, and Sunday March 6th against the Golden State Warriors at 12:30 PST on ABC) will be legendary play-by-play man Mike Tirico, who will call the action alongside his analyst, broadcasting icon Hubie Brown.

Tirico was kind enough to take time to join host Harrison Faigen in the Lakers Lounge to discuss the upcoming contests, what he thinks of the Lakers' younger players, Stephen Curry's unbelievable hot streak, and the legacy and farewell tour of Kobe Bryant.
