Mike then sits down with Lakers Equipment Manager Andrew Henk to discuss what it’s like getting a team packed for a 5-game trip, before Aaron returns to look ahead at the opponents on the road trip. They finish with a “Blast From the Past” as Aaron tries to stump Mike. SUBSCRIBE so you never miss an episode! It's The Purple & Gold Standard!
