Great podcast. Darius’ microphone keeps going in and out. It is pretty annoying actually. Please fix the issue. Seems like there’s a connection issue or he’s covering his microphone when he is talking. It’s been happening for dozens of podcasts.

Most sports commentary is shallow and annoying. These guys are the opposite. Thoughtful, insightful, and empathetic.

Easy top 3 for me.

This is the only Lakers podcast that I listen to. I really enjoy the analysis and the access that Mike Trudell, being the sideline reporter, provides. I also very much enjoy Pete, and I used to enjoy the combination of Pete and Darius, but something has changed in this last year, possibly since...Read full review »

Darius is awful. He literally did the voice equivalent of blackface on the last episode for a minute while “speaking from Lebron’s perspective” In years of listening I’ve never once heard any meaningful commentary from him.

About the math rock intro 🤘

Darius continues his streak as an awful speaker. A potentially excellent podcast continues to mire itself in substandard contribution. Totally embarrassing. Please seek input from a qualified producer! Darius’ long-winded, never-ending monologues with tons of repetition makes this podcast...Read full review »

Am I the only one who can’t stand whenever he opens his mouth? He turns me off to this podcast. Constantly find myself stop listening when he has the mic for long periods of time.

Mike You called it - LeBron was going to be locked in for Game 6! What an incredible atmosphere inside Crypto tonight - what a turnaround!!!!

I know Darvin’s people monitor to LFR so here’s my advise after Kerr made Steph an in ball point guard. We should start Schroeder ala Ty Lue guards Iverson. Vando and Dennis can get him frustrated early and stop his play making. Come on Darvin channel your inner Phil.

Pete,Darius and Mike are very knowledgeable and easy to listen to. They give a lot of insight to the beautiful game. Keep it up fellas!!
Lakerfanboi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/21/23
Incredible podcast. The best in-depth analysis you will find on the NBA. Your analysis of the non-AD minutes in the first two games points to a serious weakness in the coaching staff. Darvin doesn't have the same physical superiority Frank Vogel enjoyed during the championship run. If he...Read full review »

Intelligent Laker talk, good analysis make for one of my favorite Laker podcasts. Pete is the best and Darius is great too. Highly recommended! UPDATE (several years later): Still the best Laker podcast. Mike has been a great addition and Pete and Darius are better than ever. The three of them...Read full review »

Always looking forward to every pod. The cerebral breakdown of every game and the insider take from Mike is a joy.

Great podcast, can you upload video to YouTube
RodneyBl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/18/23
I love this podcast!! The trio have a lot of knowledge and great insight on the lakers Great addition with Mike,he’s a game changer
trixxxs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/10/23
Everybody has great insight and lots to say and I love their fandom but I find myself listening as long as I can until Darius is too hard to listen to. Listeners know he goes on and on about things that could have been said in half the time. It’s bothered me so much that I’m writing this and...Read full review »

Easily best Lakers podcast and its not even close
Ticklemyfancy777689 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/23
Long time listener in a different platform. Long time reader and watcher of all things Pete, Mike, and Darius. I don’t think I’ve reached a lower point in my fandom than the last two years but finally I get to watch good basketball again. What a joy! Thanks for surviving guys, we are back.

Only podcast that I listen to on a regular basis. Gives insightful comments about the Lakers.
Niknok Seyer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/23
Been following Pete for a few years (and his rise in the biz) and this show, and the trio assembled, are providing more interest for me than the team’s on court performance in this incarnation of the team! Smart and human interplay of the trio is as funny and warm as the expertise provided.
JohnZen99 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/10/23
Love the way how suggest things the Lakers team could try… fan from now on.
El Rivas basketbolero via Apple Podcasts · Mexico · 12/01/22

Hands down, the BEST Lakers podcast. Love these guys. That’s all, folks.

This pod is basically the cream of the crop for Lakers basketball talk.

This podcast is fairly well put together. The observations and conversations of the crew are astute and well thought out Unfortunately, I can NOT stand Darius’s voice. I truly don’t think he should be working in an audio based field.
MovesDaBoxes via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/26/22
You guys are the best show. Sound analysis mixed with great synergy within participants. Keep the good work. Can you interview the guy that beat Darius in chess? Love that story
rriqueropr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/16/22
I am so upset that the Celtics have advanced to the ECF. I recall a tweet from LFR earlier this year in response to a cocky Celtics fan who was tweeting their amusement at the misfortune of Laker basketball. The LFR tweet said, more or less, that while the Lakers weren’t playing well at the...Read full review »

Favorite lakers podcast, love you guys!!! Can the Lakers still build a championship team with Russ on the roster? If so how would yal go about building it?

I came here for Laker tears but stayed for basketball analysis
Jon-O-pan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/02/22
I think you all are top 1 or 2 Lakers podcasts. I normally like Pete &amp; Darius' takes because they're fair --Mike can be annoying (gives Bron too many passes when he didn't play well) so I took off a star for thatRead full review »

These guys are insanely insightful and bring a verve to the study of basketball. They make it cool to understand the Xs and Os behind what the Lakers are doing as well as why they’re doing it…whether they agree with it or not. I love their honest opinions and how they each have a unique take on...Read full review »
Remlap1987 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/22
I really really used to like this podcast. I listened pretty regularly for about 2 nba seasons. Unfortunately, since gaining sponsorship and support from the Lakers organization, they have become more hesitant to be critical of them when appropriate. They basically sugarcoat everything to the...Read full review »

This podcast and Lakers Nation are my go to podcasts for Lakers talk. Love the information and all the analysis. MY one and only gripe would be when Pete talks over people and interrupts them. This is one of my biggest pet peeves and every time he does it my knee jerk reaction is to switch to...Read full review »

They sugar coat a lot. It’s annoying.
TruthTella1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/11/22
My favorite Lakers podcast out there. Mike Trudell is a great person to have on here for his work behind the scenes with the team. Pete, Mike &amp; Darius are all knowledgeable &amp; diehard fans of the Lakers. It shows how they critique the team &amp; hope for better as well. Lakers Film Room is...Read full review »

Hey guys i know you usually do pod questions but wouls you mind asking westbrook in a respectful way what happened to his mid range shot. I think that and incorporating floaters would REALLY help the offense amd hopefully gets his attention to maybe focus on not just going for contested lays or...Read full review »

Great show, been listening since day one. Love the addition of Mike. Whenever I hear Darius I think of the time he snapped on a fan on Twitter for jokingly mentioning that he was taking too long to watch a tv series. Mega douche.

I listen to this pod religiously, I’m from the UK so it’s the only way I can hear people talking sense about the nba! Darius engaged with me on Twitter too which makes me love the pod even more!!!

Darius… you have to stop monopolizing conversations with horrible analogies and long winded explanations of simple concepts. I can’t take another eight second pause mid-monologue.

Question for mailbag: no one is old enough to remember this but the boxing match between Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns in 1981 had the knockout artist (Hearns) vs the boxer (Leonard). Early on Hearns was stalking and looking for a knockout. However, Leonard hurt Hearns in the fifth and...Read full review »
