Incredible anecdote from @yaronweitzman.bsky.social's A HOLLYWOOD ENDING, available wherever fine books are sold: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/736427...

Sixers rookie VJ Edgecombe has been 'better than we could have hoped' The 20-year-old guard, picked No. 3 in the draft, is already doing it all in Philly

I LOVE reading @jamesherbert.bsky.social when he writes about a young player that excites him.

This, on VJ Edgecombe, is great:

Understanding the format and rules to an all star game shouldn’t feel like trying to solve an SAT problem

Ja Morant has seven turnovers and is -25 in the first half here at MSG and yet, somehow, that doesn't capture how poorly he's playing and how uninterested he looks

Nico Harrison has added an “unemployed” to his instagram page www.instagram.com/nicoharrison...

JJ Redick throwing a fit about not being able to challenge a call that he'd 100% lose is pretty perfect

If you want to get a full picture of what this Lakers' sale means and the Jeanie Buss Era, I've got the book for you!
www.amazon.com/Hollywood-En...

Statement from Adam Silver:

"While this historic transaction transfers the Buss family’s majority interest in the Lakers, I am thrilled that Jeanie will remain the team’s Governor and an active and engaged member of our league."

INBOX: The NBA Board of Governors has unanimously approved the sale of the majority interest in the Lakers to Mark Walter. The transaction is expected to close shortly.

Well that was fun and interesting! Feel free to check out the answers in the link below (especially if you're not a fan of me or what you've seen of the book so far—answered a lot of questions from people who seem to have that opinion and had what I think was a really healthy back-and-forth)

Remember when the Lakers hired a podcaster with no coaching experience and we had a nice little Summer Media Freakout? On today’s Phantom Island, I talked to @yaronweitzman.bsky.social about what the J.J. Redick experiment looks like after Year 1.

1) One of my favorite bits of reporting from A HOLLYWOOD ENDING: LeBron talking to teammates about his value to NBA teams and what he'd be paid in a world with no salary cap:

"I probably should have gotten like $500 (million)...Because it ain't just the basketball."

For anyone in the NY area, doing a book event this Thursday night

Also, don't just take my word for it. Even people who hate me (why, I'm not sure), like the book!

Tonight!

3) Oh, and if you send me proof of purchase (email: lebronlakersbook at gmail) I’ll send you this bookmark. It will be like you’re reading alongside LeBron! You’ll also get a bookplate made out to you or anyone (and let me know if there’s a special message)
