Big Perk be looking like he High as the cost of living on these clips LBVS😅😂
Steven A had 1.5 more points than I did in college that's embarrassing.
Why does Perk always sound like a dying hippo while Shannon speaks?
The Lakers garbage..
No they can't. Tired of hearing about the Lakers, national media please stop.
Perkins doing his best Darth Vader impersonation here
They got 12 straight games where they don't even leave California 😂WWE 8-4
I hope the upcoming no-postseason will be a wake up call for the Lakers.
Shannon keeps passing on Molly is only going to make her want him more.
As a laker fan I appreciate y’all talking about my team 24/7 , but talk about them when they go on a 10 game win streak
😅😅😅
Perk the question was can they make a run to the wcf not are the lakers gonna make a run to the wcf
Can someone just turn Perk’s mic off, holy s**t
Glad I'm not the only one pointing out Perks moaning and groaning. You won't always agree with what everyone is saying but be professional. Wait your turn to speak and quit moaning and groaning like a little kid when someone says something you don't agree with.
let’s call a spade a spade. Lebron has already gotten his last ring and he isn’t getting another one. This is his LAST YEAR
Hate to say it but Perk is right
Stephen A: I’m losing faith
Also Stephen A: NO
Darwin Ham – won’t be with us next year…believe that. Great guy. But this is Laker Nation. Clock is always ticking
1000th comment
The lakers are dead last in drives to the basket and #1 in free throw attempts! Lebron is a F’N 🤥 and LeSPN keep allowing this bs narrative! Shannon Sharpe is a F’N LIAR! Stop the madness!
Refs gonna make sure Lakers go far just like last year. It seems the league is pushing hard for Lebron to get another ring
Espn will make you think Lakers are the only team in the league and its Lebrons birthright to win championships
Maybe
Perk sleep.. this very team made a whole run to the WCF with no chemistry..
“Our leadership” 🤣🤣🤣 bro KD is amazing
Perk always breathing heavy is hilarious lol I lose focus on the debate
After reading the comments i don't even want to add my comment about Perk's nose breathing
Since we beat the Clippers, I wonder what they’re going to say now
Well the question was “can” not “will”
mute perks mic bruh
How do y’all even know Donovan Mitchell wants to leave Cleveland, arrogant SOB
They GOTTA mute Perk until he ready to talk, or give him either a mike hanging from the ceiling or a desktop mike. It's SO annoying when he comes on lol.
No 😂😂😂😂😂
A BUNCH OF KD HATERS. Not one time did they give props to kd and phoenix for beating the breaks out the lakers.
