Los Angeles Lakers Archives - Awful Announcing

LeBron James was baffled by unique camera angle for foul call

"Where the f*ck did that camera come from?"

"You have to have a certain kind of team around Luka to win. And him with LeBron, you won't be able to create that."

"Do you miss that spare tire that he keeps around his midsection?"

"A big part of this job is not just about winning games, it’s how you hold it down when you don’t."

A clip from the ESPN days of JJ Redick went viral as he blasted Doc Rivers for making excuses which sounded a lot like his own comments.

"This was not the worst trade in the history of basketball. Unless you want to flip it around and say it was a bad trade for the Lakers"

"When we talk about resignation, is it possible that LeBron is resigned to, 'we ain't gonna do but so much here in L.A.?'"

"There's no expectation for LeBron James to retire."

"Hey, I’m JJ Redick, I know basketball more than anybody in the world"

“Ant Man, Batman, Superman, Lakers in 5"

"Everybody is afraid to say 'I was wrong.'"

"Are you saying that I'm because I'm inexperienced and that was an 'inexperienced' decision that I made?"

"The clowns at ESPN, they always make me laugh."

Through 11 games, ESPN is seeing record average viewership in Round 1 of the NBA playoffs, led by the Lakers-Timberwolves Game 4 matchup.

"If I'm Giannis and I don't want to go back to Milwaukee... where would you want, maybe play with Luka? Maybe go to LA"

"It should be a fine. I wouldn’t suspend him, but it was a dirty play."

"Has Jay ever watched LeBron play before?"

"I never said anything bad about him. And I just want to move on."

Rui Hachimura: Big Springsteen fan.

"Adam Silver, if you want to fine someone, fine that."

The audience peaked at 2.79 million viewers.

"That’s too emotional for him. Man, he can’t take it, dog. Look, he about to cry. He’s crying! Told y’all."

"Dallas didn’t trade Luka. They straight up committed basketball treason."

"This is one of the worst pieces of officiating I have ever seen, and I've done this for 25 years."
