To be able to take a trip to Riviera had to be an amazing experience for everyone and as is seen in the photo, basically the entire roster is there taking it all in.<\/p>\n<p>Woods also has such a unique story as he is one of the few athletes that was on the level of a James, Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan in terms of popularity and visibility around the world and pure dominance in his sport. He has also dealt with all of the pitfalls that come with being a celebrity of that stature so he undoubtedly has plenty to share in so many aspects of sport and life.<\/p>\n<p>James revealed what he asked the legend when they spoke, via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/7067191\/2026\/02\/24\/tiger-woods-visit-lebron-lakers-golf-nba\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dan Woike of The Athletic<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI asked him what the difference in the challenges of climbing the ranks was,\u201d he told The Athletic. \u201cWhat was the hardest challenge? Was it more of a challenge or harder to climb from zero to No. 1 \u2014 or stay at No. 1 knowing everybody was chasing you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStaying there. Staying at one. Staying the best player in the world,\u201d James said. \u201cWhen you got everybody chasing you and trying to knock you off the mountaintop, that\u2019s more challenging. I mean, it\u2019s hard getting up, you know, from zero to one. But my mindset when I left high school, I told myself that I gotta start back at zero, though.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew I was the No. 1 player in the country as a high school senior and probably high school junior. But when I got to the NBA, I said, \u2018I\u2019m starting from zero, and now, I gotta get back to one again.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The &#8220;Genius Talks&#8221; series has been something that Pelinka has continued throughout his tenure and is great in allowing the Lakers to come together on things outside of basketball and help that chemistry and closeness grow.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pat-riley-lakers-picked-right-head-coach-in-jj-redick\">Pat Riley: Lakers picked right head coach in JJ Redick<\/h2>\n<p>The Lakers believe they have the right head coach in place to lead this team to great success for years to come in JJ Redick.
