Things get heated quickly on this episode of Throw Up Tackle as THE! Mario Washington, The Dok, and LJ dive into the strange situation surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers and their rapidly changing ownership picture. With the franchise reportedly valued at $12.5 billion, the guys discuss Jeanie Buss fighting to maintain control, the changing nature of professional sports ownership, and whether family-run franchises are becoming a thing of the past.
Then the crew gives Russell Westbrook his flowers following his retirement. Where does the former MVP, nine-time All-Star, and triple-double machine rank among the greatest point guards ever? That question somehow turns into a full-blown battle after LJ declares John Stockton the second-greatest point guard of all time, even ranking him ahead of Steph Curry. Yes, it gets exactly as heated as you would expect.
Finally, it's time for True or False. Should winning the Heisman automatically protect your college jersey number? Was a three-homer performance the greatest MLB debut ever? Could Tua Tagovailoa have his best season in Atlanta? And can the Chicago Bears still call themselves Chicago's team if they move across state lines to Indiana?
Lakers drama, NBA history, ridiculous debates, and plenty of laughs. It's another episode of Throw Up Tackle, where sports and pop culture collide.
