    And now the Kang
    Gets elevated higher on my list
    He chose to be here!
    And by himself!
    He trusts us
    Wouldnt it be sweet if he gets the 3 for 3 before #2?
    I've never rooted so hard for LBJ!
    Leggo!

    I also appreciate him a lot more. He wasn’t afraid. Wanted to be here. Helped recruit one of the top young players in the league.

    Everyone was so ready to kick LeBron to the curb to play with their shiny new toy in Kawhi. Appreciate what you got when you have it folks. LeBron's still better than Kawhi, he was better last year before the injury, and with the rest and training he's doing this off-season he'll be better next year too.

    LeBron is about to make everyone appreciate him and win over the Laker fans who dislike him.

    If he can bounce back from 28/8/8, I will be impressed. In terms of health, sure. He can do better.

    I’ve been a loooong time Lebron hater. But, in light of the douchebag move of West, Kawhi and Paulina, he’s starting to win me over. He chose us when nobody else would, and brought us AD. He’s alright in my book. Now excuse me while I go vomit. :Kobepuking:

    It feels good to have more Lakers fan embracing the King. He’s a Laker as much as anyone else. He walked through those Staples Center doors like a man. Your favorite free agents for the past few years didn’t. Say what you want, but that speaks for itself.

    I don't know how to bounce back from 28 8 8, without it being detrimental to his health:Kobe Snickering: better teammates though

    I am 100% supportive of Lebron James the rest of the way. I will cheer and watch every game this year. I can not wait to watch this team make it's run.

    Or a 35 year old James who took last season off, got the 4th pick that was instrumental in the AD trade, weren’t going to beat Warriors and Rockets, now rested after playing however many finals in a row.

    He’ll want to compete now that teams are gonna be competitive now.

    I’m not excusing his poor D. I called him out on it, but let’s not think that it was worth trying to make the playoffs this year, it would’ve been futile. You and I know that. We got a lotto pick out of it and it worked out to get AD.

    Kawhi slacked off on defense too this year, both were probably around neutral to slight positive. Defensive reputation usually lags a year or two behind their actual play.
