Jello Jigglin - A Lakers Podcast with Ryan Ward

Special guest Bruce Bernstein, of the 48 Minutes podcast on the Bleav Network and formerly of ESPN, joins the show to discuss his experiences with ESPN and share our stories about Los Angeles Lakers legends Jerry West, Magic Johnson, Kurt Rambis, Byron Scott, and more!

On a special episode of the Jello Jigglin podcast to honor Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, Matthew "The Optimist" Peralta of Lakers Nation joins the show to talk about how we covered the five-time NBA champion during his 20-year career, what he meant to our careers, a ton of memories, and how the icon figure impacted sports and the city of Los Angeles.

We also talk a little about the Los Angeles Dodgers, Shoei Ohtani, and the current state of the Lakers as they head into a season filled with uncertainty in perhaps the final stretch of the LeBron James-Anthony Davis era of the Purple and Gold.

Six months after the Los Angeles Lakers unveiled the first of three statues for Kobe Bryant outside of Crypto.com Arena (Staples Center), the team announced that the second statue, featuring the Hall of Famer's daughter Gigi Bryant, will be unveiled on August 2, 2024.

My trip to Las Vegas to cover Team USA's game against Canada was a wild experience, to say the least, with a couple of unexpected brushes with the Secret Service. Anthony Davis is balling out of his mind for the Americans, and the Bronny James era has begun for the Los Angeles Lakers, which hasn't gone great so far.

It seems to keep getting worse for the Los Angeles Lakers. The storied NBA franchise is struggling to find notable players to upgrade its roster, while LeBron James and Anthony Davis must be growing increasingly frustrated with general manager Rob Pelinka and company's lack of moves.

The Los Angeles Lakers have created quite a stir lately with the hiring of JJ Redick and drafting Bronny James. Now, they are dealing with the backlash as fans think the team is more interested in making money rather than winning championships, which goes against everything the franchise has stood for under the late great Dr. Jerry Buss.

The Los Angeles Lakers have started over once again at head coach, with JJ Redick taking the job while the team mulls moves ahead of and after the NBA Draft. LeBron James and Anthony Davis seemingly demand another "elite player" be acquired by Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Lakers have finally made their decision to hire JJ Redick as their new head coach, replacing the recently fired Darvin Ham. Contract details have been revealed, but it remains uncertain who will be on his coaching staff and what the team will do in the NBA Draft, followed promptly by NBA free agency.

The Los Angeles Lakers and the NBA world say goodbye to a basketball icon, with legendary player and executive Jerry West passing away. The search continues for a new head coach with some crucial updates while Bronny James workouts for the team and an interesting trade rumor emerges.

The Los Angeles Lakers fell short in their pursuit of UConn Huskies head coach Dan Hurley, who chose not to take the six-year, $70 million offer from the storied franchise to return to the college game, with hopes of pulling off a three-peat.
