    It's official. I will always look at LA as Kobe's house, but it's time to move on & let the King shine. Been a Lakers fan since 2001 (Kobe & Shaq era) so this is very d--- exciting. Welcome to LA once again Bron!

    Kork gone quiet :emoji_slight_frown: Zhaire Smith hasnt really shown anything other than his famous putback dunks in college.


    I still dont think we need to trade for Kawhi. Seems like we would have to give up quite a lot for damaged goods and a player who could very well walk away in 12 months. We must keep Fultz, the trainers that have been practising with him have been struggling to keep quiet on his progress.

    Lmao ok. Every Laker fan is gonna be called bandwagon now, but I've been a fan for years even when they failed to make the playoffs. No bandwagon here.
    I'm actually hoping none of the bronsexuals move to LA because it's already too populated here.

    Y’all don’t deserve him if I’m being honest. The way he’s been treated by the fans the last week and a half has been pretty s-----y. The only reason they got him is because that’s where his family wants to be.

    We don't deserve him? Why? Just because some idiot fans don't like him? Not all Lakers fans are like that. I'm one that welcomes him with open arms and was very excited he picked LA. I already knew he'd come to the Lakers cause of his fam so I wasn't worried much about him going to a different team, but it felt unreal when it actually happened. Some of the Lakers fan base still lives in the past & can't accept LeBron in a Laker uniform because they can't get off Kobe's nuts. I still like Kobe better, but Bron is the new face of LA right now. It's only a handful of dumb Laker fans that hate on him, the rest of LA loves it. You probably just salty he didn't come join your team eh (sorry if you're a cavs fan lol).

    bs, at least 90% of comments I’ve seen are fans thrilled to have him. Let me guess you’re going based off the one fan who ruined the mural, which was already fixed by the way lol.

    Also do cavs fans not deserve him then cuz dozens of them(more than the 1 Lakers fan) burned his jersey? Do heat fans not deserve him cuz they show up to games at halftime and left an NBA finals game early where they came back and won?

    If you’re just picking out a few fans then you can make that sort of argument in basically every situation.

    I guess you’re right considering it’s not all laker fans. Definitely none around here. You and Kon seem to be very accepting and deserving. It’s those dumbass casual fans and Kobe stans that I can’t stand. There’s so many lol.

    And I’m a Heat fan, so I’m not really that salty haha. But I feel like the reception he had joining Miami (in terms of the fan base) was a lot better than he’s getting in LA.

    Also Mitch, someone on twitter offered $300 to ruin that mural. For all we know maybe the person who did it wasn’t even a Lakers fan and just wanted the money.

    Yup, I can't stand Laker fans that just talk Kobe and bring up the past all the time. I already know they're a great franchise, but look at the team they have now. It's guaranteed playoffs and it blows my mind that some people out there still don't like it. I suggest any LeBron hater in LA should just be a Clippers fan lol.

    I can see their point when ppl are calling LeBron the greatest laker and stuff. (He’s the better player but no way is he already the best laker lol) but yea... they go to insane lengths to defend him. Honestly, it’s mostly kids who knocked up their girlfriends in high school and didn’t go to college on my Facebook feed blowing it up about f--- LEBRON and s--- lmao. Sorry if that hits home for anyone here

    Yeah I can say the same, it's usually those people that just hate and don't know basketball enough so they just follow what other people say. Tbh I used to dislike LeBron when he was in Miami, but my respect for him got up when he came back to Cleveland and won a title.
