Episode Description
For this special episode, host Beto Duran takes you to Staples Center on the final night of the Lakers regular season. What was due to be a season recap with our writers, former Lakers players, and various broadcasters took a dramatic turn when Magic Johnson, Lakers legend and President of Basketball Operations, resigned. This sent shockwaves throughout the Lakers universe and world of basketball, and the Arrive Early, Leave Late crew was there as it happened. We started with interviews with Bill Plaschke and Dan Woike. We joined a Luke Walton press conference, spoke to broadcaster Bill McDonald, and then Magic Johnson made his resignation announcement. After that announcement, we spoke with former Lakers Mychal Thompson and AC Green, broadcasters John Ireland, LA sports icon Jim Hill, and are later joined by Arash Markazi, Brad "BT" Turner, and former Laker Robert Horry. Join us on this podcast and go behind the scenes for a monumental night to be remembered in Lakers lore for a very long time.
