Dunc'd On Basketball Nba Podcast

Author Yaron Weitzman joins to unpack his new book, A Hollywood Ending: The Dreams and Drama of the LeBron Lakers—and all the palace intrigue that shaped this era. We dig into why the LeBron–Lakers “marriage” delivered a title yet still feels unresolved, from Buss family succession politics to who actually pulls the levers in L.A. You’ll hear how decisions really got made—Ty Lue negotiations, Linda/Rob’s influence, the AD trade mechanics, and the inside story of the Westbrook pivot. We look at the common “Klutch runs the Lakers” narrative with fresh reporting on where that’s true, where it isn’t, and how those tensions played out.  You can ⁠buy Yaron’s book here⁠.
