CONSENSUS MEDIA NARRATIVE PRE LEBRON SIGNING:

“THEY WILL BE A LOWER SEEDED PLAYOFF TEAM”

CONSENSUS MEDIA NARRATIVE POST LEBRON SIGNING:

“THEY WILL BE A LOWER SEEDED PLAYOFF TEAM”

REALITY = WE WENT FROM A 5-8 SEED TO A 2-5 SEED .. BUT THE MEDIA WILL CONTINUE TALKIN LEBRON TEAMMATES DOWN SO THAT HE LOOKS LIKE HE ACCOMPLISHED MORE THAN HE HAS ONCE THE TEAM STARTS EXCELLING.


SAME SHIIT, DIFF YEAR

The team was on track to win 40 or so games without LeBron. If the team does win 50 games and LeBron plays like he always has, he will probably have earned that mvp.

My mvp odds:
1. Ad
2. Embiid
3. Harden
4. Kawhi
5. LeBron

Man I’m worried the Bron Jersey I preordered on July 2 is going to be the 2017/2018 model.

Looking forward to see how the kids develop even more under this new team. Can't stop thinking about the upcoming season

Lakerstore. I called customer service. But it sound like a 19 year old white girl was on the phone. I asked her, but she didn’t seem definitive about it when I asked will I get the newer jersey.

I can’t find his authentic jersey anywhere

i dont think they selling the authentic jerseys yet. But I'd imagine they wouldnt even bother manufacturing any bron jerseys in the old design.

They aren't selling the authentics yet. That's what I'm waiting for.

the media is just downplaying the team so they can slurp up Bron when the team does good. they just setting it up. When the young core does good they'll credit it 100% to Bron's presence watch

I’ve been thinking this too. They act retarded when they talk about the Lakers! Nobody talks about how we won 35 games with our best players basically being rookies, a 2nd year Ingram who took a huge stride (and is only going to get better, he’s still 20!), and 4th year Randle (RIP). Top 10 defense most of the year. Even without Bron they were only going to get better... not to mention upgrading Ennis for Rondo, Brewer/Wear for Lance, Nance for Beasley, etc.

Bron dragged a team that was 29th in defense all season, missed like 30 games from Love (who was just ok last year), and had major roster turnover at the beginning and at the deadline to 50 wins and a Finals berth...

Every time he’s joined a new team they have raised their wins by like 15-20. But I guess that’s not going to happen with the bum ass Lakers

Are we really going to act like Kuzma and Ingram alone aren’t going to feast with all the open looks? Even if they don’t get better next year they still would put up numbers. But all indications are that both are working really hard this summer. And we’ve seen Hart. KCP will feast too. The only question mark is Lonzo but even if he doesn’t improve, his game would mesh well with Bron.

/end rant lol

You should be getting the new design one

The narrative pre-Lebron: Lakers have a bunch of young talent, Magic and Rob are doing an amazing job and the kids are only going to get better

Post-Lebron: Lebron just joined the Cavs West. The kids aren’t ready nor good enough. Their young core is overrated

You already know how many people would be out of a job if it wasn't for these silly narratives..

They just throw up random things to say and go live on ESPN.

Every sane person knows the young core was bursting with potential last year and if you add the best in the world.. they're going to do better. But those ESPN dudes can't say that.. and the Laker/LeBron haters can't publicly say that.

Zo 1 year with LeBron.. the idea alone is scary. Throw in Ingram, Kuz, CP, Hart... and the gritty element we didn't have last time around in Stephenson, Rondo, Beasley.. this is a solid team but nobody wants to straight up come out and say it - they got jobs to keep and hate to hold onto breh but come next May.. the facts will be the facts.

He's on the Lakers now.. and you STILL hating LeBron. Sometimes I swear you and @G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman are the exact same person. How can the media both HATE him AND want to praise him..?
