we're one step closer to figuring out who redick is talking about whenever he complains about the anonymous laker who can't remember the playbook

Dillon Brooks, now a bucket-getter, says this season is going “exactly the way I wanted it.” I wrote about The Villain reinventing himself www.cbssports.com/nba/news/sup...

ICYMI, wrote about Deni Avdija, for @yahoosports.bsky.social:

Deni Avdija's reaction to the Wizards trading him for two first round picks? “I was like, ‘Wow, that’s a lot. And seeing that, it was like, ‘They really believe in me, they really want me.’” Wrote about Avdija's breakout, for @yahoosports.bsky.social: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/...

Deni Avdija is now an All-Star. But just 3 years ago he was unsure about his future in the league. “Do I really belong here?” he’d ask himself. I spoke to Avdija about that journey, for @yahoosports.bsky.social: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/...

On its one-year anniversary, here some of my favorite Luka trade related scoops from A HOLLYWOOD ENDING: - Bronny shared the Shams tweet in the Lakers group chat - AD wished the group good luck and then left the chat - LeBron used an emoji to express his anger - The trade was held up by Shabbat

LOVE this story from @conororr.bsky.social on Bob Weir's obsession with flag football www.si.com/nfl/bob-weir...

A Sam Darnold-Patriots Super Bowl would be a real nice blow to the groin for Jets fans.

Seems like a good time to share that if you want to read more about the Jeanie Buss era of the Lakers and the franchise's relationship with LeBron, well, there's a whole book: www.amazon.com/Hollywood-En...

Just incredible reporting and an incredible story here from @baxterholmes.bsky.social , who dove into the question seemingly no one was asking: Why exactly is it that Jeanie Buss decided to sell the Lakers? www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

BIG thanks to Elix Michaelson for having me on @cnn.com last night to talk about A HOLLYWOOD ENDING.

Thank you to @theguardian.com for the very nice write-up on A Hollywood Ending: www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/d...

This @jamesherbert.bsky.social story on the small guards succeeding in the modern NBA was fantastic. So much great stuff in here: www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba...

Is there a sporting event besides the NBA Cup where the announcers push the sponsor name this much? I’ve never seen company men like the entire Amazon group, feels like they all get "Emirates" in there every time.

And for the holiday season I'll get this going again: Send me a proof of order for (email: lebronlakersbook at gmail) and I’ll send you this bookmark. It will be like you’re reading alongside LeBron! You’ll also get a bookplate made out to you or anyone (and lmk if there’s a special message)

Holiday season means I’m legally required to plug my book. That being the case, if you’re looking to gift a sports book to a loved one, how about one on the LeBron-era Lakers that was named one of @newyorker.com Best Books of 2025? Link👇👇👇 www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/736427...

I think Yaron is still the guy writing about pooping in the NBA but The New Yorker says he wrote one of the best books of the year and damn it they are right. Go buy it!

Really would give this my highest recommendation for Lakers fans, great Christmas gift book for dad

So this was pretty cool: @newyorker.com put A HOLLYWOOD ENDING on its Best Books of 2025 list! www.newyorker.com/best-books-2...

Thank you, @wsj.com! Don’t think I’ve ever felt so seen by a review. www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

And, once again, if you're interested in learning more about the context here and the further splintering of the Buss family, well: www.amazon.com/Hollywood-En.... I'll also share this paragraph from the end of the book:

So this was pretty cool: A HOLLYWOOD ENDING made the "briefly noted" section of @newyorker.com! www.newyorker.com/best-books-2...

Had a blast talking about LeBron and the Lakers with the great @bomani-jones.bsky.social on @righttimebomani.bsky.social. YouTube: youtu.be/Dh6OPgBUMxU?... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/1uwy... And, if interested, you can buy the book here: www.amazon.com/Hollywood-En...

Jeez @michaelvpina.bsky.social save some awards for the rest of us

Did Lizza and Nuzzi break twitter?

Incredible anecdote from @yaronweitzman.bsky.social's A HOLLYWOOD ENDING, available wherever fine books are sold: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/736427...

I LOVE reading @jamesherbert.bsky.social when he writes about a young player that excites him. This, on VJ Edgecombe, is great: www.cbssports.com/nba/news/vj-...

Understanding the format and rules to an all star game shouldn’t feel like trying to solve an SAT problem

Ja Morant has seven turnovers and is -25 in the first half here at MSG and yet, somehow, that doesn't capture how poorly he's playing and how uninterested he looks

Nico Harrison has added an “unemployed” to his instagram page www.instagram.com/nicoharrison...

JJ Redick throwing a fit about not being able to challenge a call that he'd 100% lose is pretty perfect

INBOX: The NBA Board of Governors has unanimously approved the sale of the majority interest in the Lakers to Mark Walter. The transaction is expected to close shortly.

Well that was fun and interesting! Feel free to check out the answers in the link below (especially if you're not a fan of me or what you've seen of the book so far—answered a lot of questions from people who seem to have that opinion and had what I think was a really healthy back-and-forth)

Doing an AMA over at Lakers Reddit at 5pm ET/2pm PT but opened up the link early. Talking my book and everything Lakers. Come on through! Link below: www.reddit.com/r/lakers/com...

Remember when the Lakers hired a podcaster with no coaching experience and we had a nice little Summer Media Freakout? On today’s Phantom Island, I talked to @yaronweitzman.bsky.social about what the J.J. Redick experiment looks like after Year 1. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Yaron has a new book out about the LeBron Lakers, and it’s got a lot of good detail about the road that led to Redick and plenty of other good stories you should check out. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/736427...

This was a ton of fun. Check it out!

I've gotten behind in reading, but very much looking forward to digging into A HOLLYWOOD ENDING by @yaronweitzman.bsky.social, available at a fine bookseller near you: bookshop.org/p/books/a-ho...

This was pretty awesome. Got to go on @lebatardshow.bsky.social to talk about A HOLLYWOOD ENDING. And cheese doodles. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sx2v...

Thread: 1) One of my favorite bits of reporting from A HOLLYWOOD ENDING: LeBron talking to teammates about his value to NBA teams and what he'd be paid in a world with no salary cap: "I probably should have gotten like $500 (million)...Because it ain't just the basketball."

For anyone in the NY area, doing a book event this Thursday night

Also, don't just take my word for it. Even people who hate me (why, I'm not sure), like the book!
