Lakers Archives - Dave Lewis on the Air

NBA contributor, college basketball analyst and actor Bill Herenda

NBA contributor Bill Herenda brings insight on how the sport is dealing with trying to finish season inside a bubble with so much anxiety outside the bubble. The shooting of Jacob Blake has once again brought to the forefront the issue of police brutality and racial injustice. Herenda offers his thoughts on the decision to suspend play for two days and the eventual resumption of the playoffs. Acknowledging the problem will not dissolve with a Nov. 3 election, Bill comments on interview snippets from Dr. Harry Edwards and Chris Webber on where we go from here as a society. To lighten the mood, Bill took us back the court and how he feels the truncated season will play out and what may unfold in the upcoming NBA draft.

Bill Herenda on the NBA Copes with Crisis

"Justice, equality and doing the right thing and treating people the right way and respecting everyone's life dwarfs the importance of basketball but if basketball is the vehicle you can use to generate attention and garner support for all these issues that are so important....then you try to utilize that avenue again to highlight the issues and affect change."

WNBA Reshanda Gray’s Life-Changing Meeting with Kobe Bryant

"Kobe said....you have to envision, see yourself being great even if you're not great yet. I'm like 13 or 14 and I'm like 'what the hell does that mean.?' Eventually, I got older and started to watch him win championships and I think it's starting to click of what he was saying. I have to see myself so I have to envision even though I'm not there, I still have to work toward being there because that's my end goal."

Bill Herenda Breaks Down the NBA Finals and the Silencing of Drake

"It'll certainly give Durant a clear vision of what he'd be leaving behind, if he indeed does leave. Because this is rarefied air, right? Five straight Finals and it would be four (titles) in five years and three-peat. And even for Leonard, to say, 'Hey, this is working. We've gotten to the Finals'....I think winning has an effect on decision-making. I don't think there's any question about that. You know what you have here."

Fuel for the Fire: Inside the drama at Golden State and a look at the NBA with Bill Herenda

"I think it's foolish to believe that teams don't have some type of dysfunction within them regardless of their record and place in the standings. And this, obviously has gone public But I feel this is more trending toward a bump in the road than an implosion because those guys realize how special it is what they have and I think they'll be hungry to rekindle it and get back to that level of play soon.
