DEAR LA,
Tonight we start our run for a championship.
Every player dreams of holding that trophy. To do it for all of you amazing fans would mean everything to us.
Each of us understands what it means to put on this purple and gold jersey and follow the players who wore it before us.
It means so much because of the passion and dedication that generations of you all have shown for this team.
I see it everywhere. The hats, the flags on cars, the murals. This city has people from all over the world, speaking every language, and the Lakers are the thing that brings everyone together.
We have a special team. We know what you expect, and we are going to do everything in our power to deliver it.
From the moment I arrived in LA, you welcomed me with open arms. That is something I will never forget.
So here is my promise to you: we are going to give you everything we have, every single night.
No excuses. No nights off.
But we cannot do this alone. You are the best fans in the world, and we are going to need you.
Every game, bring it with us.
Let's go.

You know what, good for him. I'll obviously clown him if the team is a 1st round exit, but it's a good message to the fanbase nonetheless.

Need Brooks to put another ad in the next day with a shit eating grin that says "nah"

Okay I hate brooks but this would be hilarious.

Embrace the heel, brother

He's not gonna do it because he only cares about Bron
6. u/coturnixxx · 2026-10-21 17:32 UTC
And Steph, but only because Dillon considers him an extension of Bron.
7. u/Extreme_Aardvark1 · 2026-10-21 18:03 UTC
Steph is Lebron's work wife. Dillon is jealous of their bond because he desperately wants that role.

They also don’t even play LA tonight…
9. u/ProfessorMarth · 2026-10-21 18:45 UTC
That doesnt really matter because Brooks took out ads in New York yesterday for the Phi/NY game taunting Bron

Clown him for what, exactly? He’s not promising to deliver a championship, he’s just saying they’re going to give it everything they’ve got.
11. u/ShotgunStyles · 2026-10-21 15:50 UTC
This is obviously just PR, but saying "No excuses" while being Luka "Screaming at Referee Man" Doncic is a bit rich.
12. u/Velvet_Indigestion · 2026-10-21 16:10 UTC
Behavior flows where reinforcement goes.
13. u/Superplex123 · 2026-10-21 17:10 UTC
To be fair, he said it's the start of the run. He didn't say the run will be finished this season.
14. u/w0nderbrad · 2026-10-21 18:17 UTC
Luka ain’t going on very many long runs I know that much. Short jog maybe
15. u/Majestic_Square_1814 · 2026-10-21 18:41 UTC
It will be first round exit. They don't have a second super star
16. u/OfficiallyJoeBiden · 2026-10-21 16:55 UTC

17. u/EatsCatShit · 2026-10-21 15:28 UTC

18. u/thunderdl · 2026-10-21 15:42 UTC
