    Hmm, I don't know that I like hearing that. Ingram should be working to become a star himself, not bowing down and bending over to accommodate the Kang.

    It's more of a respect thing. Also Brandon wants to win. Brandon is a very shy person off the court but he is very competitive, he may not be cut-throat like Kobe but the competitive fire and diligence to study the game is there.

    I really don't like Lebron, he can be a diva, but man we need to win. Last 5 years has sucked really bad, I could care less about Lebron's legacy its all about collecting 'ships for our Lakers franchise and if Lebron is willing to do that then so be it.

    That's awesome Rock! Good looking out.

    I think the prevailing wisdom in just about everybody is that LeBron is coming. We Laker fans better start getting used it... I will, from this point forward, push all my chips onto the table. If the Lakers win 30+ games, LeBron is a Laker. Book it!

    No, I get it, he's a humble guy, it's caused some to question his competitiveness according to that podcast I just heard. Still though, this isn't a guy who should be coming off the bench, he should be striving to be a star. If anything I'd feel better with a lineup of Ingram at SG, George at SF, and LeBron then at PF, go small and versatile.

    A 19 year old kid wanting to play with one of the best all time? Who would've thought.

    Seriously though, the interesting thing about Ball is he doesn't even need to be the primary ball handler in the half court to be effective.

    I don't want no dude that's won 3 rings and could average a triple double on my team.

    He makes some good points, but his overdramatic style really hurts his being taken seriously. He sounds like he thinks he's way more important than he really is, like ooh I hung out with KD, I know behind the scenes stuff about you LeBron ooh. I wouldn't be scared if I were LeBron, but they both come off as petty here. How dare Stephen A criticize the great LeBron, and how dare LeBron not give the great Stephen A an interview.

    If SAS died tomorrow, the world would barely notice and likely move in after a 2 day search for his replacement on the unbearable First Take.

    Maybe a lot of us look at it differently if that guy is egocentric and turns disloyal to any team he's been on when the grass starts looking greener elsewhere on some other team with better "supporting players" (that means everyone but HIM) to put around him while he chases rings. Look at the complete sh**storm going on right now because of all that with the Cavaliers. Kyrie knows he's not coming back and saying f*** this. How do you "Ring is the ONLY thing that counts" LBJ fans just ignore that? Get Paul George in here first and foremost. Let's see what the LeBron circus is looking like after that happens.

    Who says I'm ignoring anything? The benefits of LeBron far outweigh the negatives. I would bet my mortgage that all the Cavs fans in the world right now would gladly take their ring to deal with this circus.

    You nailed it. I don't like hearing that either. I get that he's humble but ingrams 3rd year he might be a force. No bench for him.
