Podcast: The best moments of the 2019-20 season

The 2019-20 Lakers season has come to an end, and there’s no time like the present to relive the very best moments of this championship team.

On the latest episode of “I Love Basketball” on the Silver Screen & Roll podcast, Anthony Irwin and Sabreena Merchant picked their favorite memories from all of the non-superstar players on this team. To add a little intrigue, they each drafted five players (not LeBron James and Anthony Davis) and then picked individual moments from those Lakers to create a group of memories that represents the best of this season.

Not all of these moments happened on the court, but so much of the fun of being a fan in this era is also enjoying everything that happens away from the games, and Anthony and Sabreena brought some off-court storylines into their account of this season. This episode can get a bit silly, but you’ll have a great time reminiscing on some of the standout moments from a season we’ll never forget.

Let us know in the comments whether Anthony or Sabreena did a better job.
