I Respectfully Disagree Podcast

The Lakers went down 4-1 to Minnesota and many are disappointed, but was this really an upset? This team was very flawed even before the Luka trade, and people seem to think the issues were fixed just because Austin Reaves and Luka hit a nice streak towards the end of the season. When it all came crashing down, the internet trolls and the media came running to pull the "blame lebron" card. I share my thoughts on if he should go ahead and retire. Should Lebron play another season or throw in the towel? Let me know in the comments and please subscribe to the I Respectfully Disagree Podcast on Youtube and Streaming Services.
