How I Got Stephen A Smith to Talk Lacrosse on SportsCenter

We went to ESPN HQ this week for the 2023 College Draft. While we were there, I hopped on 5 shows to talk lacrosse, the draft, and the future of the PLL.

Better draft presentation than previous years but still needs improvement and to be modeled after the NFL and NBA more. Calling the player's by their nicknames like the "slim reaper" in what is supposed to be a professional draft just came off a bit corny. Admittedly I've been critical of the league but it's because we all really care and want lacrosse to look like the NHL, NBA, etc. Bringing city affiliations back next season is a step in the right direction but we still need lacrosse jerseys back instead of these laser tag/soccer-looking things that appeal mainly to kids. Actually loved watching sixes at the St. James but the sleeveless nike lacrosse jerseys would've been a better look

they should make he mesh jerseys they did that one weekend permanent

No use. Lax died when Gary gait retired. He has twice the stick skills of the next guy in all of history. And probably the best change of direction in modern sport history. And rabil let's people say rabil is the best in the world. Or that jim brown was the best. Lax is screwed because you all huff paint. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXXSlqWlj81qiq8 Look at the speed and tight control of his cradle. It's just insane. Nobody can do that today. Not even close. And when he plants a foot to change direction you won't be able to match him. It's silly and embarrassing that rabil doesn't talk about him everyday.

Slim reapers goated

Speaking facts here, soccer Jersey look looks cornier than a sleeveless jersey. They need to make the logos look less corny as well, more professional and not like a youth lacrosse league logo.

@@setholsen8397 Outside of the Cannons, Redwoods and maybe the Archers the names are terrible and I've heard people laugh after hearing em'... it's like they asked 5 and 6 year olds what they would want their soccer team to be called. I want the league to succeed but it's too geared towards little kids right now and its tought to fully support with the way things currenlty are overall. Also RJ seems like a good dude but he would be better off just doing a separate segment like "PLL Kids" or something and staying off the main broadcasts and social media content.. NFL, NBA don't have a RJ type figure and we need someone more mature to run socials and be the face for the main thing
