Fagplex claims to be a Laker fan, but never comments on Laker wins.

LordSinister claims to be a Laker fan, but never comments on Laker wins.

Chemist claims to be a Laker fan, but never comments on Laker wins.

REDLINE claims to be a Laker fan, but never comments on Laker wins.

But soon as the Lakers lose they comment with doom and gloom or invoke Kobe's name. These are not Laker fans. These are bitter Kobe stans that tolerate the LeBron Era Lakers, but aren't really invested in the team. The Lakers winning is bittersweet because theyre doing it with LeBron. Kobe's selfishness and concern for only himself rubbed off on his stans. Worst player fanbase in sports.

You is a fool

Miami Heat fans know that when people think about the Heatles IN THE PLAYOFFS, this is the only image that is remembered or synonymous with winning. This image is legendary and is used beyond just basketball. D Wade and Bosh don't have one of these. There's no playoff game or moment they are associated with as Heatles that people remember. Wade's biggest Heatle memory is a photo of him doing an alley oop to LeBron in the REGULAR SEASON, and Bosh doesn't have any. Not a single clip of him posterizing a big or going off. Heat fans claim him getting a rebound in a game he scored 10 points and had 0 impact was his big defining moment. Bosh was being put on memes and being called a FAGGOT with gay mannerisms and a Teradactyl dinosaur on this board in bball threads you can still search for, but people today are willing to lie and pretend that never happened and that he was considered "the first stretch 4".

That mutha fucka averaged less than one 3 point attempt a game as a Heatle and hovered around 28% from that range. In the playoffs his percentage went up to 40% but he still was only shooting one attempt every two games. Hardly enough to warrant "stretch 4" consideration.

Someone tell Bomani, "Mike is the greatest cuz I say so" arguments don't work in this era. Not a single number or stat was posted in his rant. If Jordan was as good as yall were willing to lie about it would show via his advanced stats and game footage. The fact that Jondoe and Fagstanza (Jordan super fans) get upset when you post his game articles and highlights (outside of the 5 ESPN recycled over and over the last 20 years) is proof dude is super overrated. Why can't Bomani point to a game Jordan had and show us what seperates him from the LeBrons, Wilts, Kareems, etc?

NBA Debate: Pippen - 'LeBron James before LeBron James'

Scottie Pippen says he was 'LeBron James before LeBron James' When people discuss LeBron James and compare him to past players, two NBA legends come to mind: Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson. However, in an interview with the Northeast Ohio Media Group, Scottie Pippen argued that LeBron is more...

So that's why Fagstanza isn't in here blaming Kerr for them losing to the Bulls.

 

[KingTaharqa]

D Wade fans always been jealous of LeBron. He's higher profile and more respected from the same draft. They dicksuck and bow down to Kobe but are angry LeBron gave them all their clout. They can't even celebrate their chips no more. Pelicans fans, Hornets fans, all these small markets wish they had a chip and Heat fans hate theirs cuz their guy had to be a role player for them to win them. Pat Riley should've traded up for the GOAT in 2003, he drafted the wrong guy and he knows it, that's why he never paid him. No NBA owner has never not paid Bron. The fuck?!!?

Haslem and these Heat players will never tell the truth on these podcasts about how poorly Wade and Bosh played so they can keep the Pat Riley is the greatest GM lie going.

Bron haters post dusty memes that are 5 years old. Jordan haters post video footage of him playing basketball in his prime.

Bomani, and otherwise loquacious guy who loved letting everyone know how smart he is.. is reduced to an "I was there you was not" defense of why MJ is so great.

And he has the gall to say "I was there in 1991".
Mind you, he was 10 years old . Lol!!

One of my associates is a Tar Heel fan and Jordan dickrider. He was born in 1985 and won't accept Bron being better than MJ despite being only 13 years old when Jordan won his last championship. He's watched Bron dominate his whole career as an adult but argues what he saw at 6-7 years old is greater. Underachievers and losers make the best Jordan fans because they're more likely to believe the past is greater than their future. As we see Gen Z and Gen Alpha isn't going for it, which is why we see the shift in promoting Kobe more than Jordan now.

 

[M.H.C.]

MHC, at this point memes only highlight the dummies that share them. That's why posting them don't hit like they did 10 years ago.

So you know this yet you still post your bullshit. That’s crazy

All the old heads act like cameras weren't invented back then and we can't watch all those old games and footage lmao

I don't post old disingenuous memes. I post articles and game footage.

Your team played in a prime time game against the best team in basketball and you didn't even care to talk about it. Not even a Tatum troll. Why? Because talking about the 10th seed Lakers and LeBron is more enjoyable than anything Nuggets related. Jokic is a stat guy but he's not a star. LeBron is GOAT because he's shown how little championships mean to fans, they'd rather talk his legacy. Jondoe's team was in the Finals last year but he remembers his teams Finals with Bron 13 years ago more and discusses it today more. You can't fake being a draw.

I don't think he's worked on his game. I mean, he's improved on what he does well but hasn't added any dimensions to his game. He makes things more challenging than it should be.

I think Gilbert was saying if they can't stop what I'm doing, I'm going to keep doing it.

I think players get used to doing the moves they did in quarter 1-3, and they keep doing what they're comfortable with. The defenses know this too.

 

[KingTaharqa]

Bomani is a Xennial, he was born in 1980. He grew up in Atlanta and went to UNC Chapel Hill, the school that Michael Jordan attended. He is a self proclaimed sneaker head who's worn Jordan Brand on camera while working for ESPN and making appearances. Shit is not deep. He fits the demo of a Jordan dickrider to the tee and I'm certain he's received "free" shit from Jumpman before.

He's got me by almost 7 years(I'm one of the rare bgol "youth" been round here since I was like 16, grew up on these cold bgol streets.)

@M.H.C. see, this ain't a meme. This is an article with a direct quote of your GOAT, that Nike had to pay to bury so you would grow up thinking he was some leader and not an alcoholic that the corporate brass of the NBA took a liking too.

Folks went from debating who was the greatest between Lebron and Jordan to now trying to act like Jordan wasn’t “HIM” at all cuz he played in the 90’s??

That’s why I don’t entertain fools and their opinions

As if folks haven't attempted to do that to Bron for 20 years.

He wasn't him. The "right hand bandit" can't go left and sucked at shooting 3s. He was 6'6 Westbrook with the green light to shoot and a Nike endorsement deal. And the whole point of flooding his indefensible highlights was to get you to shut the fuck up about him. So mission accomplished.
