Actually most of us out here dislike LeBron cuz of our affinity to Kobe's legacy. We have to accept LeBron because he's a Laker now. Well I'm just going off the assumption that the Lakers fan base has doubled in the last 3 days, much like the Cavs fan base has dwindled to native clevelanders. That’s natural. There’s a ton of fans that will follow their favorites. I’m sure fans followed Montana to KC. Jordan fans were Wizards fans. Fabre fans followed him to NY and MN. It’s natural

Bron > Kobe if y’all don’t accept him then y’all don’t deserve him Miz is that you? Lol... LeBron is one of the greats no doubt, better than Kobe? Debatable. I'd take the black Mamba any day of the week. Kobe spent his entire career in the brutal gauntlet that is the Western conference. The East been trash for years and is the reason Bron has all them finals appearances.

I rarely saw warriors jerseys up until a few years ago, now everybody and they're momma riding the bandwagon.

I do love what they're doing though. I find the NBA to be super boring. Seeing basketballs nWo vs the self proclaimed King is better storylines then most soap operas & wrestling. At least its entertaining.

Before i saw the video, i swear my first thought was: Asian or Filipino (respectfully). I think culturally, they gravitate towards whoever is successful, and have no loyalty towards their city. Real fans love the team through the worst times and despise their division rivals, especially any Northern California team. I loathe the Warriors, especially the Giants in baseball. When the Giants won those 3 world series, i didn't watch espn for like a week. I couldn't stand to see or hear about their celebration.

Even though I'm a Lakers fan, i own a Dirk Nowitzki and Nets Jason Kidd jersey. But I would never wear a Warriors or Giants (baseball) jersey. I loathe Northern California teams with a passion.

When did smush Parker ever start for a LeBron team? And Kobe was a killer, not just a naturally gifted guy. LeBron didn't work hard on being bigger, stronger and faster. Kobe worked hard on being an assassin. Gimme Kobe all damn day.

Reportedly this is what San Antonio wants for Leonard.
"From what I hear they’re asking a lot. My sources are saying Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, Kyle Kuzma, two firsts and two pick swaps… They’re just saying give us everything.”

Lakers also passed on signing Boogie. They were too busy giving Rondo $9 million. Apparently, the offer from the Warriors was the only one Boogie got.

From my point of view it's not about who is better between LeBron and Kobe... it's about the connection Lakers fans have with Kobe, and the dislike probably most of them have for LeBron. So, now LeBron is on the Lakers so he's one of their guys whether they like him or not, but the love for Kobe will remain above anything LeBron does.

Indeed, nothing LeBron can do in the remaining 4-6 years of his career will come close to what guys like Kobe, Magic, and Kareem did as Lakers. LeBron is a one night stand while those other guys were life long relationships. LeBron will be lucky to crack the top five of Laker greats.

Kobe had prime Shaq for like 7 years dude. Gtfo with that nonsense Kobe had Shaq for 7 years Gasol Odom? Bynum? Fisher? Ghost of Payton? Soul of Malone? Rick ing fox? Glen rice? Horry? Remains of Steve Nash The rapidly declining Dwight howard All the real names on this list were over the hill minus the top 2 LeBron has had... Wade Bosh Kyrie Love What was left of Shaq Mo Williams Ray Allen Battier Rashard Lewis Haslem Big z Hell Jr Smith was a damn good player until he joined forces with lebron who supposedly "males others better" LeBron has had better players than Kobe. Basing on "Kobe had Shaq for 7 years" is such a cop out. LeBron had 2 other top 20 players 7 YEARS IN A ROW. Until HE ran kyrie away. Whay year was it LeBron had smush Parker? Devean George? Brian Grant? Sun yue? Andrew goedelock? Adam morrison? Kwame Brown? Chris mihm? And LeBron has been in the leastern conference his whole career. Kobe was in the West. LeBron has had a cake walk to this point. It's over now. His daddy is in the same side of the playoff bracket now. No more finals. No more rings. He just got swept out of Cleveland. The myth of LeBrons goatness is going to be dead by seasons end. But back to the point. Everyone crapson Daniel Gibson. Gibson was exactly 167.8 times the player smush Parker was.

Whatever you’re smoking.. you might wanna switch strains or something. Kobe did have prime Shaq and Kobe ran Shaq out of LA. Prime Shaq is so much better than the best player LeBron ever played with. If you put the players around LeBron that Kobe had, he’d have a minimum of 5 rings. And talk all the trash you want about the East but when LeBron had a average team he’d still carry them to the playoffs. No exit sooner than the second round. When Kobe had an average team, he was missing the playoffs. And by missing the playoffs I don’t just mean in the West. They would’ve missed the playoffs in the East with the record they had. Saying Kobe had Shaq is not a cop out. It’s the truth. The most dominant player in the NBA who was damn near un-guardable and was in his prime and they got 3 championships and Kobe wanted it to be his team and ran Shaq to Miami. Kobe was left as the lone star. His team. And what happened? They sucked. While Shaq won a championship in Miami.

Kobe was left as the lone star. His team. And what happened? They sucked. While Shaq won a championship in Miami. Because when Shaq left, Kobe didn't still have another top 20 player. When kyrie left, bron still had love. Shaq won his other title with wade, which is only a small step down from Kobe and LeBron. The cop out is using Shaq, like LeBron hasn't had years of elite players beside him. Look at those lists. Shaq at his best wasn't better than wade and bosh combined. LeBron has constantly had help. This year was the worst team he had had in nearly a decade and it was a team he hand crafted. His coach. His superstar (he had Wiggins, wanted love), his homies Jr and Tristan, his "new blood" hood, Clarkson, nance and hill. There is always an excuse for lebron. Like the broken hand. 1. What person with a broken hand does that self oop of the backboard and throws it down like that? They don't. And he didn't. 2. Why hit a board and not Jr? Who was gonna stop him? Who was gonna snitch on their best player in the finals? LeBron has had the most help of any superstar of the last 20 years. If you take the time to read the names and don't just follow the narrative he wants written. I like you man. You keep me interested in this board.
