NBA Season is Returning This Year!!!!!!!

[AllUniverse17]

Totally different sports based off him marketing himself and his sport with his mouth.

And technically, Ali wasn't the greatest boxer of all time, so not the best comparison

No one is technically the greatest of all time at their sport. Its all just opinions man, what are you even talking about?

Im not saying Lebron is the goat.

Im saying we dont all have to follow your "be humble" talk.

I dont believe in that. You feel like saying you the goat and you ready to back it up? Say it and do it, i have no problem with it.

No, The Lakers last year weren't in talk for a championship

We were fighting for a playoff seed in December

There was no “Fighting”, the Lakers were making the playoffs before Bron got injured.

Were they gonna win a championship last year? No, but they were a highly regarded team before the injury.

The only team standing in the Lakers way before Lebron’s injury was who? The Warriors, and that’s as probably it.

 

[REDLINE]

When he retires and has more free time

and he's going to be tweeting responses to comments other players and announcers say.

He's going to be doing that passive aggressive shit. It's going to be unbearable.

Man I believe it, and I CAN wait until that happens!

 

[REDLINE]

I think people dont remember how much of a laughingstock the Lakers were before Lebron got there.

He changed everything.

He definitely changed everything!

 

[deputy dawg]

Congrats Laker Nation!
To the winners go the spoils!

 

[AllUniverse17]

So we weren't a laughing stock last year?

We weren't a laughing stock when the Clippers supposedly one upped us?

Dude Lebron was on your team last year.

What are you talking about???

No you werent a laughingstock in the summer when Kawhi chose another team. No games were played yet. You were a laughingstock when Lebron wasnt on your team yet and you were picking in the lottery every year.

No they weren’t a laughing stock last year. They were doing good and then injuries did them in.

And let’s not act like everyone didn’t think the Clippers would be Very good!

Dude you were in 4th place in the West.

Thats not fighting for a playoff seed.

Did you just stop following the Lakers when Lebron got there?

You dont seem to really know whats going on...

We were fighting for a spot because there wasn't a huge gap between the middle and 9th

And I think it was more like 5th

I recall a lot of talk about our bench and we traded everyone for AD

So why did Lebron start calling himself the washed king?

Your memory’s correct about that talk, they wanted to get rid of them niggas!

I thought they were solid, but Lebron and management wanted a title ASAP! Lebron ain’t got time to wait for niggas to grow!

Houston, Portland, Denver, Utah

They were going to make it, but you had five 50 win teams and the eighth team won 48

So yes, they were fighting for positioning

I don’t believe those teams would’ve beat a healthy Lakers team with Bron.

 

[AllUniverse17]

Its a dig at sports media trying to get ratings by going at Lebron. Doug Goettlieb (or however the fuck he spells his name), Rob Parker, Skip Bayless... They were saying he looked washed following his injury.

Thats the whole point.

Ya'll was trash until Lebron got there.

You had young talent that you picked in the lottery.

That aint shit compared to pairing Lebron and AD.

You really sound bitter for someone who's team just won a ring.

Nah, I remember all the shit

Dudes have short memories

 

[AllUniverse17]

You do realize that AD doesn't end up in LA if Lebron isnt there first right?

Also it doesnt sound like you remember last year. Since when do we call 4th place teams a laughingstock?

 

[LordSinister]

Real talk, if you have ever been in the navy or worked offshore you will never know how hard it is to live in a bubble.

So many people can't handle the mental and emotional strain that isolation causes.

Anyone saying Lebron isn't mentally tough doesn't know what they're talking about. Sure they didn't have to fly, but they also didn't have family and friends. Same room and restaurant every day. For almost 3 months?

Gotta give the whole squad props.

Ok....

I was a Laker fan long before AD and will be one long after

Then they would have gotten

Kawhi and PG

I haven’t worked in a bubble but you’re right. All of the athletes had nothing to do but stay focused and play basketball.

That was their escape from the bubble and if anything, that made the play on the court better.

That's the truth. Before Bron, if they had a better coach and trainer they should have been fighting for the 8th seed the year before he arrived. BI made the all star team this year, and before the Pandemic Lonzo was playing like an nba point. But they still aren't in a position to compete for anything.

I can't agree with this.

Isn't that like being on a college campus

They had family for the last month

and they changed hotels once to tighten the bubble

 

[M.H.C.]

Because you place Lebron on any team and they’re instantly in the conversation for the title. The same couldn’t be said for Kobe.

See and that's my problem. We don't know that because Kobe only played for one team. And to be honest, if you put that one key player with Kobe the Lakers were in the conversation for a title(think Pau Gasol).

And no you can't put Lebron on ANY team and they're title contenders. He can't go to the Pistons or the Knicks BY HIMSELF and instantly bring them to that mountaintop. He has to bring some more talent in with him and then yeah. Now he's great so he doesn't need a lot of talent but he needs something. Lebron would not have fared any better with SMUSH PARKER and em' than Kobe did.

Exactly, but you see how Lemon Pepper Lou, and House fucked up their respective teams with poor bubble decisions?

Not everyone has the discipline to keep it 100. Fuck, Lakers have JR, Dwight, Waitress and Javelle. All fucking weirdos and the leadership at the top (Bron, Rondo, AD) kept them focused. That's worth a fucking lot.

Stick Lebron on any team in the East and they’ll be in talks to compete for the championship. I didn’t say they’d win, but they would be one of the best teams in the East.

But you can't leave bro. During college you go dip off to a club, bar or another school and party. That's still 60 days without family, then the entire family has to stay put. Little kids and all.

Euh...

Ok your last comment is too dumb for me to give an adequate response but I get it now.

You are one of those Lakers fans who loved Kobe so much that you would rather lose every year then win one year with Lebron.

I guess my only question is will you continue to deface the Lebron murals in LA?

 

[Amajorfucup]

In no way shape form or fashion am i saying he's superman and doesn't need teammates. I'm just saying it doesn't matter who those teammates are. You can pencil him in for a playoff run

Look at the list of clowns, castoffs and knuckleheads that got rings Sunday because of the guy.. Including the fucking coach!

Broads using the hell out of that dufus

10 kids later and he still hasn't learned

He may have chose right this time. Broad has a career and good genes. They reproduce and that kid may make the NBA at 15.

So he’s an active reason why we keep hearing the “GOAT” talk?

Well I guess he deserves for people to keep pitting him against Jordan.

Lastly when you’re great or the greatest, you usually don’t have to tell others to convince them that you are.

His comments are in large part a response to all the hate and criticism the guy has gotten all his career. There are literally people who have made and sustained careers around attacking the guy. We've never seen anything like it.

Dude you were in 4th place in the West.

Thats not fighting for a playoff seed.

Kobe stans are cult like zombies man. You cannot reason with them and the truth is mere inconvenience most times.

and you're rewarding someone jumping from team to team....as if that's some sort of bonus points

but then you're erasing Bosh, Wade, Kyrie, Love and AD like he didn't have other all stars and hall of famers on those teams.

So now Luka or Zion can't be recognized as great players unless they jump from team to team, because a Magic, Bird Kobe or Jordan played for one franchise. How dare they

Nobody said that shit about Kareem all these years. He won in high school, college and NBA with two franchises...no, he doesn't even get mentioned by young kids. He averaged 20 at 38, and he was socially active.

and Bill Russell doesn't have finals MVP's because the shit didn't even exist, who knows how many he would have. So he's eliminated, because he doesn't have finals MVP's and defensive MVP's.

I just hate these moving goal post.

No, dummy....I was mocking that dumb shit you said

AD wasn't going to the Lakers if it wasn't for Lebron....

OK

Someone would would have come to LA

And no dumb muthafucka, I was a Laker fan before Kobe

You're just saying dumb shit
