haven't seen jj in a while on the internet, then i remembered that he's the head coach of the lakers

[onaebodaghe]

Miss JJ as a podcaster😭 wishing him all the best this season in LA

[xFavreFanatic]

Seriously screw ESPN for culling all of their real talent. Please keep a pod going, he's one of the best.

[bball]

The lack of drama from JJ is such a breath of fresh air. No way the past 3 LAL coaches answer the starting lineup with such directness

[yosefdil]

Fitting podcast. The two smartest guys at ESPN are now gone. Can't believe they let go of Lowe after already losing JJ

[dylante]

HOW COULD ESPN DO THIS! Lowe is their smartest analyst

[ManharDalal]

Just want everyone at espn to know I'll be going with Zach wherever he ends up.

[An_NBA_Enjoyer]

Bro dropped this banger then got dropped.

Make it make sense.

Love you Zach, please keep podcasting.

[paulclark]

The last ESPN version of the Lowe Post. What a dumb decision by ESPN

[칙칙폭폭-jg]

Thank you for the non-espn objective analysis zach

[bloodofdepanta]

ESPN you have no spine for letting go of Zach lowe.

[Freewxll]

Can't believe they would let Zach go. He is easily the best analyst they had, I'm sure someone will pick him up quickly

[OnlyOriginals]

They legit had him do the podcast and immediately laid him off. Smh

[martinalbert]

Thanks for everything Zach. Best of luck in whatever is next for you.

[jdw.karasu]

Love Zach and sorry to see his time with ESPN end. Hate ESPN for doing this.

[Yoko-oecv]

Thank you Zach this is incredible, I’m rooting for JJ and the Lakers this season!!!

[An_NBA_Enjoyer]

Zach, this was an awesome episode and I want you to know that content like yours is an escape from long hours at a stressful job and I love becoming more knowledgeable about my favorite sport.

I wanted to comment these words especially today of all days. Love you Bro.

[chrischan]

This man got fired because of his high salary yet they gave Stephen A like 25mil? If ESPN fired the Perk, Andraya, Chiney, McNutt, Austin Rivers (he's with ESPN, right?), they could have kept Zach. Zach, Legler, Windhorst and probably RJ could hold the fort.

[itspika]

Great questions to JJ. Happy Lowe is leaving ESPN, I think he's way better than what ESPN allows him to do and their constant pursuit of hype and drama. Will absolutely follow Lowe wherever he ends up on and finally stop watching any ESPN content

[robpshow]

JJ looked like he got cofused when asked about the plan for Bronny😂😂😂😂
