I should have copied the link, but on Facebook they have a "clip" of AD speaking about the Lakers decision to draft Bronny. AD is saying things that you know he would not say like: "they had no business using the 55th pick on a kid who averaged 4.5 points a game" and "he's not even an NBA player and we drafted him because he's LeBron's son".
The serious and funny side of the clip is that there's no doubt someone probably used an AI assisted means to copy his voice as close as it could, and have him say things that he certainly wouldn't say even if he thought it.
It was both funny and scary because it reflects how AI can be used to create an alternate reality for a lot of misinformed and mislead folks.
It is scary because a large population of the country is also so clueless they believe things like this that they see without questioning it.
8 games
no travel
no b2B
20 mins per

That better shape will turn to fatigue for him and bron by jan. _________________ Trade Bronny East.
How do you finish -53 on a 50-win team?
Initially the partnership between Davis and LeBron was supposed to shift towards AD as LeBron diminished. But Davis hasn't shown the commitment to conditioning and developing his game to ascend in that way. In listening to Redick he has said things like 'we're going to feature AD as much as he wants to be", and that he has a suspicion about where his shot went.
I'd love to see JJ challenge AD to take advantage of this opportunity. _________________ The King, the Don and the Daddy walk into the arena...
AD has generally been great for the Lakres he's just not that kinda of megastar even though he is a megastar....but he's not a jordan, shaq, kobe, duncan, etc kind of nba star and that's ok because he is such a high level two player...Lakers just need to put better personnel around him...like I don't know, maybe get a big body center so on those nights AD can shift to PF.

If the plan is to have Davis isolate and shoot threes, then it's not hard to see why he is not always at his best. This is not his game.

The AD as #1 was officially abandoned as soon as they went to a 5-out offense. Unofficially it was when we spent all of our assets on ball handlers with no defense.

AD is such an overly-dramatic queen with any perceived hard contact that it really has become comical for me at this point. I've come to grips with it a long time ago but I can't help but smh and laugh my ass off every time he does this sh!t....
....like he did last game shutting down for a good 15 minutes after the light head jab.
I just wish Kobe was there to tell him to man tf up, boi. _________________ The butter's hard and the eggs are chillin' in the dark.
AD doesn’t make ESPN top 10, Embiid did… show ‘em, again, AD _________________ “The main goal for the Lakers is to win a championship. All I care about, all we care about, is to raise another banner in the rafters.“

I don't understand the the criticism for AD when he has worked through injury many times, and is the sole reason the Lakers are not a rank 30 defense. _________________ The most important shot in basketball.

Love AD... one of the best 2 way players, if not the best in the league, but he does like to throw himself on the floor like he got hit by a train.

Exactly. And it only ends up making him more injury prone by doing that.
That said, my word, dude still can't unanimously be considered the Lakers top player despite the fact that he far and away is. A wonder he sticks around considering he'd be far more celebrated elsewhere. Pray he stays healthy this year.
