[Highlight] Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts pure excitement meeting the Showtime Lakers
I love how Kareem always wears the Brooklyn Dodgers cap.
He’s the fucking best. I hope he lives forever.
Seeing him with a cane sucked. But also he’s probably the healthiest 7 footer the world has ever seen. A miracle he’s lived so long with no serious health issues.
He’s had the cane for a while, but other than that, he looks great!
His body is his temple after all! Lived a healthy lifestyle
He’s had multiple heart surgeries.
Kareem in the Brooklyn Dodgers cap ❤️
Dave Robert’s is every giddy Lakers fan from the 80 meeting their sports heroes
I totally get it. I would lose my mind if I ever got to meet the 2014 Spurs.
I dont know anything about baseball but the coach got so excited he didnt even know which player to greet. Like he got so confused when he saw Kareem at the end of the line. 😂
You live out here?
Not really, let’s say that Lakers games start at 4 am where I live
Yeah idk a Los Angeleno that doesn’t know baseball, we’re primarily a baseball area now since the Dodgers started dominating this decade
LA has been a Lakers town for decades and has been the most dominant LA team with 6 titles over the last 25 years. I know a lot of people that I grew up with that only follow basketball and football(most are split between Raiders, Rams and 49ers) and don’t follow baseball very closely.
As a Raiders fan from the Bay, It warms my heart to know the Chargers will never have a foothold in LA and Raiders are still more popular. Gonna be seeing a lot of Mendoza jerseys up and down California soon
I honestly dont even know why they moved the team to LA to share Sofi with the Rams. With the Rams coming back to LA, there was never going to be a Chargers following in LA. There’s way more Raiders and Niners fans in the LA area than there ever will be Chargers fans out here. San Diego really should have come up with a way to build a new stadium out there and keep the team there.
You need to go outside bro, these murals are mostly just Dodger players now.
We have not been a Laker town at all this decade.
We haven’t had a Laker parade since 2010, we’ve had 2 Dodger parades this decade alone
How old are you? Tell me you’ve only been following LA sports teams over the last 10 years without telling me. The Lakers have been the dominant team in LA since the 90s. Only over the last 5 years have the Dodgers taken that title because of recent dominance.
Dave Roberts has got to be the luckiest manager in baseball. Was rumored to get canned a couple years ago after several season of choking in the playoffs, but then a miracle happens and Shohei arrives.
I mean he made 3 WS in 4 years and won 1 before Shohei. But in 2019 everyone questioned why he had the job, now it’s impossible to think they get rid of him.
* Choking in the playoffs a few times and getting cheated out of a WS once.
That, but he wised up and hard after 2023. The 2024 NLDS was not pretty, but he adapted and got it done. Managed to deal with the Mets team that was remarkably stubborn in a strong NL before humiliating and tactically spanking the Yankees in 5.
2025 is arguably more impressive, with how it feels like the 2023-4 Chiefs. Agonizing inconsistency until they get their crap together in the end, shredding the Reds, breaking the Phillies, and making quick work of the Brewers before an all-time 7-game World Series when we’re all old and grey when it’s said and done.
Damn, well said.
He wasn’t a good strategist for a long time (I’d argue the last playoff run was the only one where’s he was strategically very good) but he’s always been a great people manager with every type of personality and that gets you far if, yes, you can just generally out-talent everyone. But 3 (4 real) rings is no fluke.
He’s gotten a lot better. But it def helps to have the best player of the last 100 years on the roster.

I would say after 3 titles, there shouldn’t be any slander against this man.
Hell he got cheated out of 1 title by Houston
He is a HOF manager
No where close.
Doc rivers gets heaps of praise despite winning only one championship and having said run go through (1) one of the weakest conferences of all time and (2) having the worst playoff record ever of any team that won the title.
You can’t say the same about Roberts and these Dodgers.
Michael Cooper is always acting like the silly jovial uncle everyone deserves in their lives.
Cooper did him wrong with the high five. Knowing Roberts doesn’t have the same knees he once had haha.
Magic?? 🤔
He’s a part of the ownership group, I’m assuming they see him more often than Kareem and James Worthy
One time I sat in the Owner’s Box for half an inning next to Kareem on a “Lakers Night” at the Stadium.
Epic!!!!!
That’s cool as hell.
I’m happy for and with him.
Wholesome
Rarely I witness true excitement and raw unfiltered adoration like this. Makes me happy
Roberts acting like a 10 year old. Super cute.
It’s nice to see some good shit like this. Pure joy!
Awwwwww this is so sweet
Cap!
I actually read this as snowtime.
Doc Rivers
I’m glad Kareem is up and walking around. I remember he broke a hip a while ago, but I hadn’t heard/seen anything else about it
damn man this guy looked like a killer when they were whooping our ass in the WS last year and really he’s just a grown up kid
