    Man, what to do or say about possible LBJ to LA. Haha look Im drake.

    Anyway, if the Lakers signed Lebron I'd obviously be on board with the signing. The guy is a once in a generation player overall. He has never been the GOAT to play the game in my opinion and even if he came to LA and won 3 rings still wouldn't be. That being said, he would bring a star quality to the team and would still get his but in LA, as has been proven before, superstars don't always get the calls. Would his game evolve if he got called for those offensive fouls and travels? In LA he very well may start getting those called against him. Either way, if he isnt the man on the team then we are good. I still don't see it happening but if it did i'd support the guy.

    On a more personal note, I don't want him on the Lakers. Lebron is a front runner, not a leader, a diva, a drama queen and as unclutch as an automatic car. He has proven he needs a bigger Alpha to step in and step up when his team gets punched in the mouth by the other team. He is suppose to be the GOAT yet he acts like a child in responding to the so-called haters. I do think he is on Roids and I do think we will see injuries pop up on him not just from the long playoff runs but also the, what I suspect, roids. The other thing is he does not want to carry a team to the championship on his back. I know some would argue he does but I disagree now just as I have done for years. He wants to have a team that is stacked and he wants to have to not work to get to the Finals. Every team he has left (the two) were in shambles after his departure. What if LA isn't back to winning? Would the front runner run again?


    Im curious to see what the FO does

    Back to the first of the 3 puke worthy media images / clips on LeBron that Weezy posted last page which rightfully is setting a lot of us off that don't feel a ring is the ONLY thing that matters. Right at the top what is he thinking in his self absorbed whatever the f*** that is he put on line?

    Not "team". Hell NO. It's: They wanna see me fall. And that is your 2018 - 2019 Lakers story line no matter who else is on the team and killing it during the season if he comes. All about LeBron. While he chases down all time Lakers records as a Laker. Still "ralphing" after the last page into another day.

    :Kobepuking:


    I know Magic is all about the winning and getting "super stars" here. PG qualifies as that. My hope is that since Magic is also very OLD SCHOOL he is in his private thoughts turned off by the type of person LeBron is. Second hope is that the long awaited first injury or injuries start this year for him, not after the Lakers have given up a ton to get him on the team.

    UGH. It is going to be very hard to cheer for this guy if he becomes a Laker.

    He's pranking all of us right? That level of narcissism can't be for real? What would that do inside of the Lakers locker room? Keep him the f*** out of here!!!!

    Thank you. You were reading my mind that he needs to get smacked around for whatever minimal effect it might have on this guy.

    Like CA saving the planet by upping our gas prices another .60 a gallon for more severe cap and trade BS will have an effect on world temp. At least "WE" will feel better.

    so...it's not ok to be proud of oneself now? i'd imagine lebron's grandma would have been quite happy to see how his life unfolded. i'd like to think my own grandmother would feel the same about me, and i'm not even a billionaire global icon.

    i'm glad i'm not on social media!

    Seriously. Of all the things to be critical of LeBron about, we're attacking his relationship with his dead grandmother?

    C'mon.

    bragging to the world?

    Hey, I hope my grandparents might like how I turned out too, but I don't feel the need to put it in front of even my facebook friends. But I would PHRASE IT COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

    "I hope you are proud how I turned out, blah blah blah, your input into my life and how you influenced me, blah blah blah. You meant so much to me, etc, etc"

    Let's look at Lebron:

    "I wish u could witness what your grandson has become!!"

    :Kobe Speechless::Nope:[​IMG] [​IMG]

    I realize you appreciate me breaking down the difference. One is thanking an elder for the influence in your life. The other is wishing they were alive so they could see how great you are and fill your oversized ego with more praise. (And posting it so millions could see of course)

    [​IMG] (In my best Lebron voice)

    It's disgusting because of the pattern.

    LLLLLabron can't even have some humility when tweeting about his dead grandmother? He still ends up making the post about "what I've become".

    Sirron's right. The way this was worded is very poor, and it doesn't take a lot of unpacking to see it. If you are paying tribute to someone, you pay tribute to them. How much you miss them, their effect on your life, how important they were to you, etc. This was essentially using his Grandma's death to point out he has become a god (in his own mind). If you want to point out your greatness, the least you could do is say something along the lines of, "I couldn't have become what I have today without you." He doesn't even insinuate his grandmother having an effect on his greatness.
