You think I hate LeBron? Seriously? I want the Lakers to be truly relevant again. I disagree with the playing the string out stuff the ownership is doing. We have one old all time great and a shaky number 2 guy who flashes top talent between WTF stretches and injuries. Not sure how to play that reality any other way.
Barring a miracle acquisition or 3, this team isn't championship material. Just isn't. The re-signing of LeBron and the ineptitude of the management will put this franchise in a hole for the better part of a decade.
As a fan dating back to the early 70's I can tell you I don't "hate" any player. I don't give sports that sort of attention. LeBron is not a terribly likable person off the floor but neither was Kareem who I view as the most important Laker with Magic ever. I want the jersey to win.... the players in the jersey change. We need them to change before we will be truly relevant again. I think everyone here knows that. This team is no better than the last 3 years. It's a .500ish team with a couple of players who dominate the team who have age and injury issues.
Finally, the drafting of Bron's kid is fairly telling if you step back from it a bit. It's truly a side show. Watching him in Vegas I'm not seeing him as someone who gets a roster spot based on his talent or performance. He'll get one based on who is dad is. That's not a great vibe for a "team" IMHO. We talk about coaches. I can't think of one of our championship coaches that would do that.
You can try and twist my posts into a silly "you hate LeBron" stuff as much as you want. It's truly a Jr Highschool play. If it makes you feel better then please continue. Having you feel superior is important to you it seems. It's not changing my mind that we should start the rebuild last summer.
Bruh ChatGPT would take seconds to write baseless spam better than these three TLDR BS posts. We get it, you don't like Bron, and don't watch basketball. Stop wasting RealGM's bites, delete your account and go spend some time with the family.
Man just won the MVP on a team with only All NBA talent, but this miserable clown feels important enough to be personally heard about how he's just a 3rd wheel. Third wheel who lead USA in PTS, ASTS, REBS & STLS. AD lead the BLKS and tied Bron & Bam for REBS by the way, so We have the leaders of all 5 major stats, and are still mid.
Tell me again you don't watch basketball without telling me
It's common for children to attack the person in an argument and not the points being made. Here are some more points to ignore... want me to "bold" them this time?
I've been watching... he has led an NBA team to 3rd, 5th, 4th and 3rd place division finishes. A playoff miss, 2 losses in the first round and a sweep in the conference finals are all right there for you to see. Who's ignoring reality now? I couldn't recite one of his stats over that time period but I remember the records and horrible play on the court by a team.
If stats make you hard... where are his MVP's in those years? See what happens when he's playing against NBA talent instead of against non NBA talent in essentially an exhibition? A playoff miss, 2 first round losses and a sweep. That's what I see.
Show everyone again your love of LeBron's stats while ignoring the team he plays for. Oh... yeah.. that's the coaches fault... or the other players fault. All him when his team wins an exhibition against non NBA talent for the most part, but I'm sure it's not him when his team loses in your world.
You showed up here with LeBron and you'll disappear when he does. I'm a Laker fan, I'll be here when the team rebuilds. You'll be front running somewhere else. The only stat I'm interested in is wins and championships for the Lakers...
