Harrison is off somewhere learning to vacation properly so this week, I replaced him with Sam Esfandiari of “The Lightyears Podcast.” For whatever reason, the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors have never really been good at the same time. It doesn’t help that consistent competence is a very new concept to Golden State, but still.
So, to start this really fun episode, Sam and I marvel at just how little overlap there is with each franchise’s best moments. We have had a handful of conversations over this might finally be the first time the Warriors and Lakers factor into the title conversation in the same season.
