The Lakers have been thriving since they acquired Luka (Dončić) and Dan gives a lot of credit to LeBron James for adjusting his game to make Luka feel at home, but he reminds us that James’ motivations aren’t entirely altruistic. LeBron needs to do whatever he can to make it work if he wants to win one last championship and change the G.O.A.T. conversation.
Dan Patrick: “This is LeBron (James) in the twilight of his career knowing, if I get another title, what that is going to mean in the bigger picture. One more title, now all of a sudden, I got all the records and I got one less championship than Mike (Jordan). You’re thinking of legacy here and here’s Luka (Dončić); how do I make Luka great? This is last call for a championship. Steph Curry; last call for a championship. Jimmy Butler; whatever I need to do to make Jimmy Butler feel at home, I’m going to do.”
