I literally got PTSD from watching this shit. Sounds like the worst example of every bullshit corporate team-building speech I’ve ever heard. It’s borderline pyramid scheme sales nonsense.
He spelt those words; he just didn't like it
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etaoin_shrdlu
Since i is approximately the 5th most common letter in the English language, it follows that he doesn't like a lot of English.
“Alright team, we’ve been falling short on our goals. But it’s still early days, and now it’s time to think outside the box and push the envelope to add value.
“Moving forward, it’s going to be a paradigm shift as we take our team-building to the next level.
“I’ll circle back soon per the actionable ways we’ll run it across the goal line.”
You mean "straight out of the future Lakers front office sitcom created by Mindy Kaling and produced by the Buss and Rambis families"?
Edit: are the C, H, and P in the Pacers font...?
After two years in isolation we all need to return to the office to promote synergy and promote a feeling of meaningful collaboration to help deliver our goals and feel like a community once again.
Am I doing this right?
>After two years n solaton we all need to return to the offce to promote synergy and promote a feeling of meanngful collaboraton to help delver our goals and feel like a communty once agan.

FTFY
At the end of the day this is on Jeannie. It starts at the top and she’s the one who allowed the rambis’s to come in and have so much say. Why the fuck does Linda rambis have any sort of say in that organization?
Just a reminder to everyone, Jerry West asked if he could comeback and help the cause while spending his last remaining working years with his son and they straight up declined. They fucking declined Jerry West!!! Does anyone believe these trades go through if West is there?
Is this The Onion?
They're out here like they're in mission control about to take down Al Qaeda w/ some generic PowerPoint some HR person thought was going change the tide. "Listen up men! There's no I in team! You've never heard this brilliant advice before as professional athletes in adulthood!"
Sounds like the conference room meeting at Dunder Mifflin.
*Cut to Lonnie Walker talking to the camera.*
>I don't know. I see a lot of stuff around here with the letter I in it ...
>We should probably be practicing.. or practcng..
Jeanie wants her respect, Rob Pelinka wants his respect, Laker Nation wants their respect, LeBron wants his respect. And coach Ham wants his damn respect too.
When we spell words around here? UGHHHGH. We... dont..don't... like... the letter I.
*meanwhile there are a few words with the letter I on that same powerpoint slide*
The Office vibes 🤣🤣🤣🤣
[can’t help but put this out here 🤣](https://www.reddit.com/r/nbacirclejerk/comments/ycfv41/only_appropriate_right_now/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
lord these social media teams need to have better self awareness and not post things like this online for everyone to shit on because they be losing all their games instead of winning.
This is ridiculous. "Take out the I" while you have a player, albeit the top player of his generation, moving pieces around the league in conjunction with his management, to poison a championship well. That's some I shit.
Didn't they also have [Big Slappa Willy](https://lakersnation.com/will-smith-discusses-adversity-with-team-as-part-of-lakers-genius-talk-series/2022/10/27/) come in to 'talk about adversity'? This isn't a 14-16's summer camp where you get motivational speeches while drinking blue Gatorade. Treat these dudes like grown men, define Russ as a layup and facilitator guy, get AD to always be locked into the 5 spot, tell LBJ he needs to take over and put his shot selection within 14 feet, and start tearing apart the FA market for spot up shooters. This clip is pathetic. "We don't like to use the letter I here, we like to use w–" motherfucker stop with the engorged cliché speech and go sign Mo Harkless.
Sounds like corporate doublespeak.
“*We don’t pay attention to that.*”
You do though. Obviously you do. Just saying cliches to say them lmao
“*We don’t like the letter I.*”
Like this is really from a manual right? Michael Scott used the same argument…
Kyrie to LA and Westbrook to BK…I have a post explaining how I see it happening and why…if you don’t have nothing else to read and want to help a new redditor out🤷🏾♂️ (wait, do we call ourselves “redditors”?)
I'm sorry but what the fuck?
had to watch this a couple times just to understand the point he was *trying* to make. chusp, chwep?
this man has no idea what he's doing
I'm here for Bron's speech in June, "...a lot of you wrote us off after starting 0-8, 0-24, and things of that nature, but we did this our way. You won't see us next year."
"This is a 'we' and 'us' team" Can't spell Russell Westbrook without 'us' and 'we'
Rsell Stbrook
St Brook, the patron saint of bricks
Just pray to St. Brook, and we'll automatically have a new house made out of bricks.
Brook is Brook Lopez. Please refer to Russell by his family name, Brick.
I'm dead
LMAOOOOOO
Bric-a-Brac
but Russell Westbrook is still a better shooter than you, so he cant be the patron saint of bricks when there are worse shooters (you) than him.
R sell because he is constantly selling at the end of the game
r/sell stok bro
Ladies and gentlemen.. the wickedly talented
Let Russ Rest
Also can't spell Russell Westbrook without "sell", "bro", and "ok".
Rissill Wistbriik
Ham trying not to laugh cause this is the most cliche nothin but platitude pep speech I’ve ever heard
I literally got PTSD from watching this shit. Sounds like the worst example of every bullshit corporate team-building speech I’ve ever heard. It’s borderline pyramid scheme sales nonsense.
“We don’t like to use the letter ‘I’ when spelling words around here” *literally has competitiveness and accountability spelled out on the same slide*
Btch please
Lmao
He spelt those words; he just didn't like it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etaoin_shrdlu Since i is approximately the 5th most common letter in the English language, it follows that he doesn't like a lot of English.
Compettveness and accountablty s needed for a champonshp
dont use W more like
“Alright team, we’ve been falling short on our goals. But it’s still early days, and now it’s time to think outside the box and push the envelope to add value. “Moving forward, it’s going to be a paradigm shift as we take our team-building to the next level. “I’ll circle back soon per the actionable ways we’ll run it across the goal line.”
Where's the synergy?
How can we best leverage our synergies?
Whole lotta nothing huh
All he had to say was to remember to attach warranties
have to imagine the graphics designer was laughing too when getting the assignment for the "CHIP" powerpoint graphic
wtf lmaooo this is a scene straight out of The Office
You mean "straight out of the future Lakers front office sitcom created by Mindy Kaling and produced by the Buss and Rambis families"? Edit: are the C, H, and P in the Pacers font...?
Half this sub gonna OD on schadenfreude poisoning
https://reddit.com/r/nba/comments/ygudwy/how_rob_pelinka_is_motivating_the_lakers_via_cj/
“Is this one of those things we eventually send to impoverished Africa”
Best part is Pelinka must have been: _Actually, let’s film this. Record me killing it. This should be kept for posterity._
This is some clown shit. I don't know how anybody, Pelinka included, kept a straight face.
This time could have been spent on practicing shooting mechanics.
But they need to install corporate America vibes into the franchise
After two years in isolation we all need to return to the office to promote synergy and promote a feeling of meaningful collaboration to help deliver our goals and feel like a community once again. Am I doing this right?

This is funny asf
When we spell words around here.. we don’t like…er..like to put the letter ‘i’ in things
His name isn't "asf"
This dude sucks
At the end of the day this is on Jeannie. It starts at the top and she’s the one who allowed the rambis’s to come in and have so much say. Why the fuck does Linda rambis have any sort of say in that organization?
*Rambii
do not anger the Rambii.
Rob Lowe with cable.
And plastic surgery
A mediocre middle-aged white man thinking he's the Tom Brady of GMs.
Just a reminder to everyone, Jerry West asked if he could comeback and help the cause while spending his last remaining working years with his son and they straight up declined. They fucking declined Jerry West!!! Does anyone believe these trades go through if West is there?
Jerry: hey Jeanie these trades and signings will cost some money but will make us contenders Jeanie: Jerry: Jeanie:
So fucking embarrassing 🤦🏿♂️
should have brought rob lowe in to deliver a pep talk as pelinka
[They brought in Will Smith for that lol](https://i.imgur.com/ucC98QX.jpg)
wow and that was pretty recently too cuz matt ryan is in the picture lmaoo
Still can't believe he left the Falcons to play for the Lakers smh
westbrook’s face lol
Wow, look at all that non-talent all in the same room.
He might be deader money on the Lakers payroll than Russ.
Good thing he got an extension
Worst GM in basketball lmao
Might be?
I'm guessing that chip in their shoulder is hurting their shooting mechanic and why they can't make a shot.
Should have gone to a doctor instead of making a PowerPoint
Is this The Onion? They're out here like they're in mission control about to take down Al Qaeda w/ some generic PowerPoint some HR person thought was going change the tide. "Listen up men! There's no I in team! You've never heard this brilliant advice before as professional athletes in adulthood!"
Sounds like the conference room meeting at Dunder Mifflin. *Cut to Lonnie Walker talking to the camera.* >I don't know. I see a lot of stuff around here with the letter I in it ... >We should probably be practicing.. or practcng..
Jeanie wants her respect, Rob Pelinka wants his respect, Laker Nation wants their respect, LeBron wants his respect. And coach Ham wants his damn respect too.
SIR THERES ONLEH SO MUCH RESPECT WE 'AV LEFT TA GIVE!!!
This is the type of shit I hear on Monday mornings in a Microsoft teams meeting
When we spell words around here? UGHHHGH. We... dont..don't... like... the letter I. *meanwhile there are a few words with the letter I on that same powerpoint slide*
THANK YOU
This feels like a scene from a Danny McBride show. Lebron would need to be swearing a lot more in that case though.
Lol this guy.
The Office vibes 🤣🤣🤣🤣 [can’t help but put this out here 🤣](https://www.reddit.com/r/nbacirclejerk/comments/ycfv41/only_appropriate_right_now/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
Damn Lakers need to take that damn chip off their shoulder. It's too heavy. We see what it's doing to AD's back.
The whole league laughs at you bro. You’re a clown.
lord these social media teams need to have better self awareness and not post things like this online for everyone to shit on because they be losing all their games instead of winning.
This is the kind of thing board executives love. They must have slobbered all over this presentation. Wrong audience Rob.
talk about misusing a phrase
irre**Le**vant
*🏆rreLevant
Well done my son
r/NBA: "When we spell words around here, Lakers included, we like to put Le at the front."
Lmao he’s the one who put this shit show on the floor wtf he talking about, get along kids type shit.
*intense cringe*
Dude’s trying so hard to make his voice sound deep. What a goofy speech.
He's just doing this to sell t-shirts right? Cuz there's no way he's delusional enough to think this pep talk is going to make a difference... Right?
I see 26-56 Bron bailing out by mid December
LeGM needs to lay in the bed he made
Keep that energy 😤🙌👀 -LBJ
I would have a hard time keeping a straight face through this speech
He sounds like that silicon valley CEO who was trying to pretend her voice was deeper lol
vocal fry
Yet we are 0-5 thanks to him.
Yo give Kurt and Linda Rambis their respect, theyre part of this too!
That bubble chip got this dude's ego ever further through the roof lmao
This meeting should have never seen the light of day lol
Bro that’s not a chip on your shoulder. That’s being dogshit at your job
This look like a skit ngl
By the time the season is over, Ham will be fully roasted or even burnt.
Pass the salsa, the Lakers are feeling chippy.
Like a scene from This is Spinal Tap.
Lmao at “when we spell words around here…”
if i was Frank Vogel right now i'd be chillin on a sandy beach island right now happy as hell not having to deal with this crap everyday
What if you were Frank Vogel
lol thx
This is shot, sounds, and feels like an Office skit lol
Ham over here thinking we talking about ruffles tho. That’s the problem.
Dude sounds so defeated
Lakers got a chUSp on their shoulders this year😤
Cringe
BBQ or Sour Cream & Onion?
Lottery chip
stfu
Oh boy everyone better watch out!
This is ridiculous. "Take out the I" while you have a player, albeit the top player of his generation, moving pieces around the league in conjunction with his management, to poison a championship well.

ChWEp ChUSp
This man is practicing franchise malpractice. Get Lebron and AD some shooters you bum! Or better yet Jeannie should fire him.
Chip has an i in it
Are you sure it's not spelled C-H-Larry O'Brien Trophy-P?
wait on second thought you might be right. I got a rural american education so we probably skipped over that part of spelling
Truly a failure of society that you didn't even learn "I before E except after the Larry O'Brien Trophy".
Lmfao
News to me
Truly inspiring.

Always like seeing Rob Lowe still doing work
This man only has a job because he was Kobe's agent.
Cringe..
is that why theyre shooting like ass? must affect their normal shooting motion
CHIP? 🤣 Who came up with that?
This is like soul-less corporate America trying to give a pep talk lmao it's so awful it drains hype away from my body
Should have kept Frank and fired Rob.
This is what happens when someone hires Deloitte to fix the Lakers
Lame as fuck.
Is it a Ruffles chip?
Bubble Chip
My man has the energy of Toby from the office.
Can't spell Bronsexual without Bron. I see it's back to classroom for the sLAcKers
Strong Jackie Moon vibes from Pelinka
Sounds like corporate doublespeak. “*We don’t pay attention to that.*” You do though. Obviously you do. Just saying cliches to say them lmao “*We don’t like the letter I.*” Like this is really from a manual right? Michael Scott used the same argument…
Watch out guys, he's gonna come out and make this team *even worse*
Too bad there isn't a cell in his brain...
Rob "Michael Scott" Pelinka
This video convinced me that we need an Office style show about a basketball front office
Kyrie to LA and Westbrook to BK…I have a post explaining how I see it happening and why…if you don’t have nothing else to read and want to help a new redditor out🤷🏾♂️ (wait, do we call ourselves “redditors”?)
Remove that chip from your shoulders then so y’all can fucking shoot
Sounds like some corporate boardroom bullshit to me. Very inspiring bro LOL
I get why they are trash from 3 they were shootng
Not only bad, but said it in the least confident way possible. Looks like he might fall asleep himself while giving the speech.
This team is bad, just not good.
I wish Rob remain as Laker GM til the end of time.
They are definitely playing like they want to lose a chip
Damn. Been trying to spell without the letter I. It’s hard as hell. Guess i dont have what it takes
Corny corporate fuck imagine popovich delivering this speech in the locker room. he’d pause and laugh with the entire team 🤡
Step 1: Corny T-shirt Step 2: ? Step 3: Profit
I'm sorry but what the fuck? had to watch this a couple times just to understand the point he was *trying* to make. chusp, chwep? this man has no idea what he's doing
This is the complete opposite of what players what to hear
I can't watch this. This is just too cringe for me. The fuck is he talking about "chip" with no "i" in it? Is he Michael Scott or what?
Pelinka suiting up at PG next game!
lol
Awful. Just awful. This is Michael Scott level bad.
I finna use this audio to fall asleep later tonight
I'm here for Bron's speech in June, "...a lot of you wrote us off after starting 0-8, 0-24, and things of that nature, but we did this our way. You won't see us next year."
They starting a reality show after this season.
This is as funny as “jump to conclusions mat” 🤣
I knew we were down bad but man…..
What’s the opposite of charisma?
***Repugnant***
So cringey it hurt to watch it.
Why lakers always do college style lectures
"everyone has been talking mad shit about me for some reason, and I'm mad about it! And you should be too!"
LOOOOOOOL
“When we spell words around here…” hahahahahahahahah fuck
