That was super fun to watch. BGJ looked good.

Serena whatever LakersNation woman (can't think of her last name) made it sound like Hill didn't participate. Was he there? I didn't notice.

EDIT: I clicked over to TWSportsnet and they just happened to be running that segment again and no I didn't see Hill participating. That seems odd to me... Hmmm,

What's up with that? Ask James on his twitter.

BGJ had a fist step that was all-time great. I don't see anyone that can do that in the NBA today period.

Worthy had a sublime post up game. If he can show some of that to Julius, that would be boss. They both have similar body types, height, etc. Love the idea.

Worthy had one of the quickest first steps during his playing days. He was super quick off the pivot too. There was never a wasted motion to his game. The guy would often feel the defensive positioning even before he caught the ball, and then bam- catch, spin, and he was gone. Worthy teaching his bag of tricks in the post has been a long time coming.


Worthy only had one move and it was a great one, whether it was a spin or direct: lunge toward the basket. Don't remember him ever fading back for a shot.

Randle and worthy is the perfect pairing IMO.

The beauty of hiring Scott is the support he would get from past Laker greats.
Too bad we don't have a good prospect at center or Kareem would be out there too.

As others mentioned, I doubt Worthy will be as harsh on Byron from the TWC studios. Whether that's good or not...another question.

James was deadly in the post. Julius looked intrigued with what he had to say. Put in the work Julius and you will be a stud!

Ya, we're definitely not getting any honest analysis out of James this year.


"After Lebron James, I'm taking Klay Thompson." - Worthy

How does he feel that's even acceptable to say on TV?


At least he didn't say that after Lebron he's taking Klay Johnson.

It doesn't even matter much in any tangible way. If the lakers are putting a (bleep) product on the court, we don't need james worthy to verify it to us.

He's wasting his time if Sacre is one of them. Should just be davis and randle


Lol calm down. He's teaching all of them. It would be pretty stupid to ruin team chemistry by only teaching those two. It would be sending the message that, "I'm going to only teach Randle and Davis because the rest of you are (bleep) and not worth my time."


You mean it's like he's telling them... "You're not Worthy"?

This is really great to see. Worthy's an awesome instructor, and his game was so sweet to watch, I would love to see Randle or any other Laker emulating him out there.

I love this move by the Lakers front office. It seems like this team is finally getting some sense of direction after years of aimless trials.
