Straight from a sports betting conference in Las Vegas, Doug interviews big bettors and industry insiders to get their perspectives, and explains why betting is here to stay — and what it will really take to protect the integrity of the game.

Lakers Target Jokic or Giannis for 2027 Superteam | HARD PASS Ep. 27

The Lakers have Luka and LeBron… So why aren’t they in full “win-now” mode, instead of chasing Jokic or Giannis for a 2027 “superteam”? The Lakers front office is clearly laying the groundwork, but is this smart long-term planning, or a gamble liable to backfire catastrophically, wasting Luka’s prime and LeBron’s final elite years? There’s a risk in delaying for a future superteam, and this is starting to mirror the Cavaliers’ mistakes before “The Decision” in 2010. Doug breaks it all down, including why L.A. locked Luka with a short extension, why they’re preserving 2027 cap space, and whether this major gamble could actually pay off.

HARD PASS Ep. 27

📌 On Today’s Episode:

00:00 - Intro

🏀 Are the stars aligning for the Lakers, or will it all blow up in their faces?

00:20 - The Hoop Scoop

🏀 Doug breaks down why the Lakers aren’t truly in full “win-now” mode: Luka’s short extension, letting role-players walk, and a deliberate payroll strategy to chase Jokic or Giannis in 2027. Is LA trying to have it both ways — and at what cost to LeBron’s last big run? Doug compares this to Cleveland’s 2010 blunders, and asks: will LeBron tolerate being second fiddle, while the front office plans for a post-LeBron superteam?

07:11 - Heat Check

🏀 Fans online are already dreaming of a 2027 Lakers Superteam with Luka, Jokic, or Giannis… and the cap space to make it happen.

08:30 - Fans in the Stands

🏀 Fans debated ignoring stunts vs. calling them out, and if Candace Parker’s rankings went too far. Check out the heat in our comment section!

Another bizarre stunt from the stands goes viral… and another round of headlines questioning whether the WNBA will ever get the respect it deserves. Doug Kezirian argues the real issue isn’t about one outrageous moment — it’s about credibility, accountability, and how the league presents itself to fans. In this episode of HARD PASS, Doug breaks down why the WNBA is still fighting for respect despite record TV deals and franchise valuations, how the league can fix its image, and the two major changes that could change everything. From Candace Parker’s honest analysis to broadcasters sugarcoating mistakes, we’re cutting through the noise to get to the heart of the matter.

“Respect isn’t handed out with TV deals or slogans on t-shirts — it’s earned every possession, every broadcast, every time you take the floor.” - Doug

With his ego being tested like never before, can LeBron James handle passing the torch, now that Luka Doncic signed a 3-year extension with the Lakers, effectively “dethroning” LeBron and assuming his role as the Lakers' new king? Between the steroid allegations, an "asterisked" title, cryptic social media posts, and his total mainstream media silence, LeBron’s recent off-court behavior raises a massive question: is he crumbling under the weight of his ego in real time before our eyes, or can he rise to the occasion? And, can 26-year-old superstar Luka Doncic truly shoulder the weight of being the face of the NBA’s most iconic franchise? In today’s episode of HARD PASS, Doug Kezirian breaks down the shifting dynamics in L.A., the legacy stakes for LeBron, and whether we’re witnessing an unprecedented ego test in real time.

“If LeBron plays the perfect supporting role, this could be Hollywood’s best ending.” - Doug
