    If this place turns to political talk and ridiculous conspiracy theory, essentially becomes the Facebook of Lakers talk, then I’M out. I don’t come here for politics, I come here for basketball, always have, politics have led to turning friends into enemies, ever since the Club Lakers days, it does zero good here. There are a billion places to talk about that garbage, and almost no places to escape it, baffles me that people want that here. Only thing I can come up with is it’s an addiction for many, and the others feel like they’re being persecuted or held down or some nonsense because that’s what they hear parroted every day all day on Facebook. But no, actually sir, it’s just that this is a Burger King.


    But who has to moderate that? I do. I have to be Facebook moderator behind the scenes slowly losing my soul. And then we have to warn, suspend, maybe even ban probably top members here because they insulted or threatened eachother or worse, all because we allowed completely unnecessary political talk on a basketball forum.

    That’s nonsense “we are steering away from Basketball and we’re better than to take on guys like LeBron. Or now maybe Kyrie. You mean the Guy who, yes, many of us greatly disliked from afar, even hated, and are still annoyed by …. but who was instrumental in attracting AD and helping win us our 18th NBA championship, after missing the playoffs how many seasons in a row? And the Lakers who prime FA’s weren’t even any longer considering giving us the time of day? Brick, to our detriment unfortunately, still was considered a star or more than that and wanted to come here and now Kyrie, granted with his baggage but also with his undeniable talent in his prime … same thing. We get it you don’t like him and many of us still and becoming more so because of the LeGMing he did last year and things he does on the court and says in public, are becoming annoyed or worse all over again. But “not about Basketball” is a bad take.

    You are broad brushing your opinions as if they are facts to all Lakers fans on top of it.

    Guys like LeBron and Kyrie are not about basketball… they are about self promotions … anybody whom ever played for the lakers was a team player and cared about the name on the front … LeBron is just a rental business man …. When LeBron tweets about every lil political issue which absolutely has no impact on his own life or agenda it makes it difficult to stay way from politics

    Didn’t see this posted earlier. I can’t read the Stein report, but interesting I guess. I wouldn’t want him, maybe for the minimum, but his health can’t be relied up

    Figure it out or better yet “read”. Some (being generous, more like a couple) not same as “nobody”. Your word.

    I am not alone millions of lakers fans dislike LeBron and never wanted him to come here .. if that’s spamming to you cuz u have his jersey and I hurt your feelings so be it … LeBron will never be a true lakers to me and millions of other true lakers fans agree

    if you like LeBron James u r not a true lakers fan u just wanna catch Boston at any price .

    According to useless brains and clueless trolls in the sports world, there has been three legitimate titles won in the last decade.....

    2012 Miami, legit
    2013 Miami, if it weren't for Ray Allen's 3
    2014 San Antonio, legit
    2015 Golden State, Kyrie and Love out
    2016 Cleveland, Draymond suspended Game 5
    2017 Golden State, Durant cheaped out
    2018 Golden State, Durant cheaped out
    2019 Toronto, Durant crapped out
    2020 LA Lakers, Bubble Title
    2021 Milwaukee, half the stars were injured
    2022 Golden State, legit

    So, at what point do you factor in mental mistakes and physical ailments as part of the cog of winning a title? Now, I'm not saying you can't say, hey, this guy was out that's why we lost. That's cool. I'm down with that. But calling it illegitimate is bush and stupid.

    When a team plays for 8.5 months and it's the last team standing, that's is as legitimate as it gets. That's why it's so damn hard to win titles. That's why Ewing, Barkley, Malone, Stockton, Miller, T-Mac, Baylor, etc never won one. Because it's hard and players like MJ, Kobe, Shaq and Duncan made it look easier than it was and their status shouldn't be compared to the greats. They are above the greats.

    You don’t know me and if you see my avatar and could put 2&2 together you’d see Kobe is my guy above all Lakers. Just happy to have had the franchise become relevant again and win a title. Competing in the same confines of the Bubble as every other team. Not thrilled with LBJ’s act. But you claiming the Lakers decisions are not about basketball because you can’t stand the guy is nonsense, or that no one credits the Lakers or LeBron for having won #18.
