I feel like this is the BS they were selling kawhi in the meetings. But realistically, LeBron is and will be the main guy until he retires. Its always gonna be "LeBron and the Lakers" . And furthermore what does this say about LeBron? The man almost won MVP over a 29 year old harden. There's still more gas in the tank, and he's just gonna fade to black in the background and give Kawhi all the shots/points? LeBron should want to beat Kawhi and get his revenge from 2014, not play along side him. Y'all Lakers fans just want the cards stacked so highly in y'all favor that y'all can't lose, in which case are y'all even really fans of the game anymore or nah???
I would believe that had LeBron not given his jersey to AD. I think he’s smart enough to know his time in the sun isn’t forever and he’d rather work smarter than harder. The narratives we get caught up in obviously a lot of the players don’t get caught up in. Also, LeBron probably noticed how many Laker fans weren’t fukkin with him at first. What better way to ingratiate yourself with them than by helping the team get two top 5 players?
As for your comments about the fans. Y’all dont know how basketball reasons felt so you’ll never understand how much we don’t give a fukk about how y’all feel regarding competitive balance. Kobe blew his Achilles out because some teams are so bytchmade they’d rather collude to stop the Lakers. We got fukked over and this is just payback for it.
Ironically it’s the exact same situation. Aging megastar needing to pass off lead responsibilities to the right guy. Two younger guys usher in a new era of Lakers basketball when megastar retires. Only difference now is it’s Kawhi’s choice as opposed to being at the mercy of dell demps, David stern, and the league. That’s why the salt flying at us....
