  1. My New year's resolution is gonna be always to be better version of myself like also for my future career bcause I'm a fresh graduate, you guys are my inspiration to be better, it's inspired me a lot to be like better at basketball, to applied the learnings I always I got everyday not just in basketball but also in life and no matter what happens if fail or achieve I always take all of that as a mentor.
    Happy New Year!
    🤍🖤💛💜

  2. D-Lo, habits and success are intertwined by the actual person that embodies it. Success can be defined by the physical accolades or even the perception of success can mean by accomplishing and completeing these microhabits we may or may not posseess and have yet to learn that separates apart the best from the average. Be original, be you, and trust. Higher management but i think Higher Power is playing its role and took you to the best place to be at in your career. Can't wait Ice-man D-Lo show whats in them veins.

  3. My new years resolution will be to keep growing financially build off the great financial year I had in 2024, build connections by expanding my friend group and to have a consistent gym routine

  4. Dloooo thank you for everything man I’ll never forget that wcf run yall went on. Rooting for u for the rest of ur career Brodie🤙

  5. Thank you dlo!! Appreciated your talent and shorting with us but it didn’t work out. Still grateful you gave us some joy back last 2 years but you helped AR grow and it’s great

  6. my new years resolution is to get healthier for my kids. my oldest just finished cancer treatment in september and seeing what he went through definitely put life into perspective, and i want my kids to have me for a long time and not make health a factor in shortening that time.

  7. Damn that chemistry he brought to the locker room was different. His defense was missing but damn, didnt want to see him go.

  8. Damn I really wanted to stand up for DLO because he seems like a genuine dude but he didn't fit what we need and has to learn to show up in the playoffs

    Still wish him well

  9. 29:10 my new year’s resolution is to not judge so fast i’m someone that always judges a book by its cover so need to get better at that biggest dlo fan there is love the podcasts!

  10. Thank you dlo! Was fun while it lasted, definitely brought the energy and gave us the push when we needed it the most. Definitely think things would have been different if we had a LeBron less team. It’s a different beast trying to fit into it. Wishing you the best!

  11. I wish you coulda been a lifer, you coming back just felt right. I appreciate your time here big time and I know you’ll thrive in Brooklyn like you did last time. But you’re genuinely the best Laker PG since Magic Johnson, and I hope one day you get to retire in the Purple and Gold.
