Those are numbers are impressive and bode well for L.A.’s chances of potentially making a deep postseason run with James playing like that, accompanied by Doncic. However, actor Jason Sudeikis shared a story where he got the best of the Lakers star and scored on him while rehearsing for Saturday Night Live, via New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce: There is a sketch that we did, characters Bill and I did a couple of times. Where I play a stagehand, who is kind of a dick to people. We did it to Julia Louis-Dreyfus, we did it with Paul Rudd and we did it with LeBron and I challenged him to one-on-one in the sketch. In rehearsal, I did go by him and then went up and he didn’t know I was going to do a reverse layup. And I did score on him on an 8-foot goal. Oh yeah, he was 100% [trying]. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he was definitely trying, you can’t turn that off. It was funny because Don Roy King, who was our director at the time, who I just saw at the 50th [SNL special] came up and literally brought it up. He goes, ‘If you ever need someone to vouch for this, I know it happened.’ Like thank you, it sucks being the one telling this, you know keeping this apocryphal story alive. You know, I’d prefer it to be someone else, but so be it.”
The pair will call a noon game on Christmas between the Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks and can be seen on ESPN2 and ESPN+. Scheduled guests include Jason Sudeikis, Tyrese Haliburton and Breanna Stewart.
There are basketball fingerprints all over this soccer club’s football coach. Sudeikis and Hunt met in Chicago and consider former Bulls coach Phil Jackson a sacred being. Gregg Popovich was another source for the writers as they brainstormed unorthodox ways for a coach to establish trust with his team. Lasso stages an exorcism to lift a curse on AFC Richmond. Popovich takes the San Antonio Spurs to long, wine-soaked dinners. “We thought of that as very Lassosesque,” Hunt said.
Asked by Sudeikis about the discomfort that led to the diagnosis, Bosh said, "It was kind of a slow-building process and everything, and I felt just severe pain in my left lung. It starts off tight and you really can't move, and it's pretty bad.
