Also, he started playing better after our scrappy young guys fought us back into the game. He was a big part of closing the game, no doubt. But he didn't do the heavy lifting.

But his comments about playing hard, playoff activation, and "happy" about his squad (never said that before the trade deadline!)...come on.

Whether anybody is a Lebron fan or not, objectively, there's more than a little bit of bitch in him.


You're not being objective at all though.


You don't need to read very far into this 20 page thread to understand that he's in no way objective about LeBron. :lol:

Lebron started hero balling in that last 3min against the Pels, ironically i think that’s exactly what we need right now. Randy Foye on FTF has a point, i’d like Lebron to play selfishly ala Harden in the remaining games.

Uhmm... Kobe has 5 rings. Winning championships with a team that's probably less talented than LeBron's.

Three of those rings were with prime Shaq. LeBron never played with anyone even close to as good as prime Shaq.

You got proof it was LeBron or you’re just assuming because of association? I guess Draymond Green is the next guy LeBron wants because he signed to Klutch, and you know, all of these grown men in the league are just LeBron’s property?

People act like these grown men are puppets who are mind controlled by Lebron and Rich Paul. A top 10 superstar demands a trade and people act like the only reason the Lakers would pursue him is because Lebron told them to :roll:

Are you a Lebron fan? Were you a Cavs fan before? I just don’t remember you posting much until we signed Lebron. Not trying to being an ass just wondering

Yeah I'm a Lebron fan. I liked the Lakers back when they had shaq, though. Fwiw I didn't find out about this site until late last year in the playoffs.

I'm so turned off when LeBron tells everyone how he's "built". It's like a bully repeatedly telling you how tough he is. I have a difficult time when he calls his teams out for urgency when he is known for loafing until it's playoff run time. Isn't Rondo and Lance his guys. Are they losers too?

I don't know what team Lebron thought he was coming to last summer. This is exactly what the Lakers are, one of the youngest in the league (minus Lebron).

But we also know Lebron, Rich, and Magic planned on trading that young core for AD, which failed, embarrassingly and catastrophically. Because they are arrogant, shady, selfish, mercenary pricks. The other shoe dropped, what comes around goes around, karma's a bitch.

Now Lebron lashing out, for what? You did this. You did this.

Didn't you read the article where the FO was chillin, and word came out that AD was available? Multiple quotes from people who were there confirmed that Magic was like "man.....**** that guy". Magic wanted nothing to do with a top-10 player super interested in becoming a Laker. It was mid afternoon, and the Lakers FO hadn't even made a call.....despite multiple attempts from AD, Clutch, and the Pelicans to get in contact.

That's when Lebron stormed into Magic's office. Witnesses swear a chair was thrown. Lebron stormed out....and after that all our youth were on the table.

That's why all these guys hate on Lebron....he had Jeanie revoke their season tickets.

The good news is that Adam Silver is already scouring through the League by-laws looking for a loophole where he can rule that the Lakers make the playoffs. Lebron 'talked' to him at the allstar game.

LeBron just does not seem physically the same since coming back from that hamstring injury.

Even minor trades like the Reggie Bullock one seems to help him out though.

I’m not sure why they didn’t get him more shooters sooner.

It was apparent from the start imo that the roster needed more 3pt shooters.
