Mason & Ireland are looking forward to seeing LaMelo ball and the Hornets take on the Lakers tonight, despite LaMelo downplaying it. They debate whether LaMelo's comments about not being excited to share the court with LeBron should be seen as disrespectful. Mychal Thompson chimes in to say that LaMelo is absolutely wrong and shares a story about how he felt playing against one of the game's greatest when he was a rookie. LaVar Ball joins the show to give his thoughts on a wide variety of things, like LaMelo vs. LeBron, raising three pro basketball players, why his youngest son 'Gelo' is the best of the three - and a lot more, including a hilarious interaction with Mychal. Plus, Kendrick Perkins stops by to explain why AD getting injured was actually a sort of a blessing in disguise for the Lakers, who will win the MVP and who he expects to come out of the East.
