I would normally never give Bill Simmons any clicks here, but Jared Dudley is awesome on his latest podcast. A ton of insight into the bubble, the team's chemistry and thinking throughout the playoff run, Lebron, etc. Dudz need his own podcast ASAP.
My favorite line was when he said the Clippers didn't even wanna be in the bubble and how the Lakers were laughing when they choked away Game 7...trash ass loser franchise
The Dudley/Simmons segment was fantastic. I will say though, 2nd half of the pod when Dudz left was just straight sour grapes from Bill on the Lakers success lol
dude still felt like they gave up too much for AD and refused to acknowledge Rob building a championship roster through a plan B
Dudley said some really good stuff. Love how he talks about how everyone held everyone accountable even LeBron. There truly was no ego with this team. Guys played their role and accepted it. That’s special man. Him talking about Bron and Rondos IQ was cool to listen too

Dudley is always a great interview. Thanks for the link, TBM! _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."

"As much wine as we drank as a team...man, I told LeBron this was like a college experience for him."
After wins...it was wine and cigars, lol.
That was an amazing tidbit. This team was so mentally tough and had the ability to just zone in/flip the switch when they had to that they apparently felt comfortable partying going into off days when they're playing every other day But that may have been what kept them so close and level-headed throughout what must have felt like an eternity in isolation from the world.
It also shows how big the gap may have been between us and everyone else in the bubble. They didn't even play their best ball consistently because frankly, they didn't need to...
I hope Lakers find a spot for Jared. Ideally as the 15th man. If not I would like him to stick around at some copacity. Miami keeps their guys involved even after they retire. Find him a role.
Like Richard Jefferson Dudley loves to talk a lot, but he's less annoying and condescending than RJ.
He hated Kobe and the Lakers before but he's a Laker now so it's all good. _________________ “Properly read, the bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.”

I wonder if the team thinks that Dudley revealed too much behind the scenes info during this interview. _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."

I can't stand simmons. Such a hater. I love it when the Lakers can disappoint celtics fans.
Simmons is so bitter saying that his son could have run the team and won with LeBron and AD. And how many times did he call the Lakers a dumpster fire after Jarod left? Wallow in misery Bill!
I'd take Dudz as a 15th guy. Maybe a Haslem-like role for us. He showed that (apart from being a great chemistry guy), when given minimal minutes, he can still hit shots at this level _________________ #18 next...

I used to get annoyed listening to Simmons talk about the Lakers, but now I just find it funny. The dude's just a ridiculously biased die hard C's fan who's constantly trying to convince himself that the Lakers don't pose a threat. It's cute.

The more rings the Lakers get the more crazy he becomes. Love it!!!
I notice how he said Vogel is not getting is due for coaching the way he did. Said his attention to detail is insane and smart. Morris himself said he noticed it right away about Vogel. Both said it’s like nothing they ever seen before from a coach
