Wait... did you mean that's what you'll be doing EVERY week?! I had to re-read that since at first I thought you meant that's what you're doing just for one week and then moving on to something exclusive. |
That's the plan for every week. I'm crazy busy, probably working 70 hours a week right now. I'm sure some weeks I won't be able to hit that mark but I'm gonna try. |

Part of the value of The Athletic gig is to "legitimize" me. Makes me sound like I'm not just some dude even though I'm totally just some dude. |

I think its a great idea I absolutely love longform journalism and Lakers based longform journalism sound perfect. It's only £2 something a month over here in the UK too so that's very reasonable compared to other sites...
I don't get a free t-shirt however.
Dealbreaker. |

if an org is willing to pay you for your services, that means you're legitimizing them as much as they're legitimizing you - don't get it twisted Pete! your Lakers fan bona fides are unquestioned and for a sports journalism outlet trying to get LA eyeballs, that's priceless.

Oh for sure, it works both ways. But a bigger publication helps when someone isn't as familiar with me, and gives me cred upon introduction. There are still a lot of Laker fans who aren't familiar with me or my work.
ESPN being able to say "And now joining us from The Athletic, Pete Zayas" instead of "from Laker Film Room" has value to them too, to make it sound like they aren't just having some random dude on there. I'll get more of these types of opportunities because I work for a recognized outlet now. |

As soon as you said that you'd pick someone other than Ayton at #1, I knew Mychal was going to freak out. |

I totally forgot about the Bahamian connection until Mychal said that and I was like OH NO. |
