Book Talk: Lebron & The Lakers w Yaron Weitzman and Broad St. Bullies w Sam Carchidi

First we talk with writer and author Yaron Weitzman about his new book A Hollywood Ending: The Dreams and Drama of the LeBron Lakers. With him we delve into the complexities of the LeBron James era with the Los Angeles Lakers, discussing the dynamics of team management, the impact of key figures like Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka, and the challenges faced by players such as Russell Westbrook. We also reflected on the broader implications for the NBA providing insights into organizational behavior and the intersection of sports and narrative control. Then of course we asked his take on the Sixers. Then in part 1 of our conversation with Sam Carchidi talking about his new book "Bullies", we discuss the legacy of the Philadelphia Flyers, particularly focusing on the Broad Street Bullies era. They explore the cultural impact of the team on Philadelphia and the NHL, the origins of the team's nickname.
