00:02 But LeBron cares about legacy.
00:05 LeBron cares about being able to say he was the first one to do something, coach.
00:11 And his 31-point performance last night against the Suns,
00:15 that told me, coach, he wants this bad.
00:18 And I feel bad for the Pelicans now, tomorrow night, when they get him in Vegas.
00:22 Cuz I think he's really gonna show up and make things happen.
00:25 >> You know what, Carver, good to be on with you.
00:28 And it's a perfect scenario for the NBA to have your biggest star and
00:33 arguably one of the greatest players of all time, leading a charge for,
00:37 let's be honest, one of, especially with Boston being gone,
00:41 the marquee franchise in the NBA.
00:45 Best, biggest team, best player in the bright lights of Sin City.
00:51 And LeBron has been talking about this since before.
00:54 See, it's amazing, Carver.
00:57 People thought when you were only giving $500,000 to a player,
01:02 that these guys weren't gonna be into it.
01:07 But here's the thing, folks.
01:08 There's this word, it's called ego.
01:11 And for LeBron, his ego, his pride, and
01:16 his sense of legacy made me like the Lakers
01:22 to not only win last night, but to go all the way through.
01:26 And last night, I do believe it was, I think, 6-1 to win.
01:32 I think they're gonna win this thing because, and
01:34 think about this, folks, it's gonna be in Las Vegas.
01:38 Doesn't LeBron want to own a team in Vegas?
01:41 Like, this whole thing lines up.
01:43 So if you could start all the Kevin Walsh conspiracy theories you want with this,
01:48 I actually think the Lakers are gonna win.
01:51 I think they're gonna win the whole thing.
