Genius talk is a series for Lakers wherein celebrities are invited to give a
motivational speech for the players, through their own stories. Several
celebrities like actor Dwayne Johnson
[https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dwyane-wade/] and magician David Blaine
have been part of this throughout the years. Adding to it recently was Will
Smith, wherein he talked about together and more.

Recent controversies have greatly humbled the I Am Legend

actor. In attempts to slowly make a comeback, the actor became part of the
Lakers Genius Talk series. In a post on his Instagram, the actor posted photos
of his visit. He also met

Lakers owner Jeanie Buss, for which she was thankful.

Where he also gave the team a glimpse of his upcoming Apple-produced movie
Emancipation. The release of the big-budget movie was in question for a while
along with Smith’s other projects, but he did not give up. Lakers fans had mixed
reactions to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor preaching about togetherness
after his debacle with Chris Rock.

Though the Lakers page posted, “Huge thank you to Will Smith, who joined the
team to discuss strength through togetherness, and practicing gratitude in times
of great challenge.” So far, the Lakers have lost to Portland Trail, L.A.
Clippers, and the Golden State warrior.



Maybe Will Smith
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-after-will-smith-madonna-confessed-to-turning-down-a-role-in-a-now-classic-movie/]‘s
speech will help them back on track. Meanwhile, the actor will also work on
getting acceptance from a wider audience, especially in light of his future
projects. But perhaps the next year will be better for Will in Hollywood and the
Lakers at NBA.
