Frye and the twitter poster both hit the nail on the head. And the crazy thing is, how often do we see this in other major sports? Not often. Folks just watch the games that are being played currently and talk about that. I know that this is just one thread on BGOL(so not a big sample size) but this thread is a good example of how people talk about the NBA. When there’s actual games being played, it’s fucking dead in here. But when there’s talks about “Who’s The GOAT” or player movement or anything that’s not about the play on the court, it gets popping in here.

Same with all the media and social media out there. Like why the fuck is Austin Reaves even speaking about Jordan when im sure he never saw him play? Because the media asked him to compare LeBron and Jordan. Cut that shit bruh. It’s annoying. Again, nobody gives a fuck.
I agree 100%!

Yeah, but that shit never works out well when they pick a team to win but never the other team.

They must don't realize the players see that on TV and will be extra motivated to prove them wrong.
Naw I get it but I mean the Nuggets always beat them at home. There was no reason to think that wouldn’t happen today especially since they got worse defensively. Nuggets looked terrible and sluggish. Wasn’t the end of a back to back or nothing just was looking ass.

If Austin Reaves was playing with Kobe, everyone would call him a Kobe guy or disciple. But because LeBron James is so dark skinned and such a brute to cowardly white people, he never gets credit for the development of young guys on his teams. There's about 30 LeBron guys/disciples that are never called that. Dark skins don't have IQ or leadership qualities. So the narrative is, Bron makes his teammates worse and limits their effectiveness. :yes: Austin Reaves has emerged as a great offensive creator, and this is playing alongside Bron who was portrayed as too stupid to play off ball on this board for years. People are pretending Max Christie just got good after he "left LeBron" so they can say he's not a good leader. Nobody believed he would even have his son ready. :roflmao:

It’s dead in here because the NBA is a terrible product right now. Nobody cares about NBA until the playoffs start.

Let’s keep it 100….the NBA is analytic based. Which as a result has guys missing the end of back to backs and all kinds of shit. Then these niggas stay hurt.

I swear to yall 20 years ago we was having these same discussions. I can’t speak on 30 or 40 years ago but this GOAT shit ain’t nothing new yall just caught the tail end of it with MJ.

No there's a big difference there.

The baby MJs and the baby Shaqs were player comparisons in regards to their games/size.

That's not the issue. That's more of a player prototype thing.

The issue is that today, when a player comes up short in any way, the next thing out of these old ass announcers mouth is "Kobe would have never done that" or "MJ never cheated the game like that" or "Bird had to fly coach and still showed up every game" or "Magic understood the responsibility of building a league"...

The "back in my day" sermons are never ending.

But they get away with it because no one's there to confront them on their sanctimonious bullshit.
Yeah but it didn’t just start. They did it in the 2000s too. Especially with AI. They’ve been complaining about how the league has been since the early 2000s because it came outside of what’s considered the golden era. As a matter of fact? I’d probably say these guys are more friendly now than they was 20 years ago. They had to hear that shit all the time.

Kobe doesn't have fans in real life. They're only on social media. His last NBA game was almost 10 years ago, bless your heart Ratline. :lol:
Oh look it's Queen Teriyaki!

Why are you still here? Have you been contacted by the mods yet?

@HNIC @Lexx Diamond why is this asshole still here and not banned? He's made jokes about Kobe and his daughter dying and many members have mentioned it and reported him.

And oh yeah we snitchin! Hey @HNIC we want this dusty cunt gone!

Can we please get this friendly faggit off of the board? He needs a maximum vacation ASAP!







And dumbass, I said Lakers fans "Traveled" for Kobe.

As in past tense.

And don't bother replying. I have you on ignore and was just shocked to see your bitchass still posting.

Show me a clip of a crowd of Kobe fans in real life in 2025 thats not a sponsored Laker event. He gets 0 engagement online outside of LeBron trolling. LeBron and Laker fans going to s statue reveal doesnt count. :roflmao: Dudes popularity is smoke and mirrors. It only exists on the computer.

This was Bron outside in LA, 3 years ago. People were camping out at the gym 2 days before it even happened. This had 0 to do with the Lakers. Kobe never had and still doesn't have this reach or popularity. See I can show you real people getting hype for Bron. Not just alt logins and memes like the few Kobe fans online have. Kobe's death is the only thing that keeps him still relevant and even that is fading. If he were alive he'd be much lower profile doing films.

Mask ill make it easier for you. Show me viral tweets of Kobe within the last 3 years that don't involve LeBron or his name whatsoever. They don't exist!!!

Do you fools realize how irrelevant Kobe would be right now if the Lakers were lottery trash and Bron wasn't playing for them? Do you know how hard it would be to promote him? :smh: The Lakers don't build 3 statues for Kobe if the Bron era never happens.

You guys can lie to yourselves all you want. His fanbase isn't as big as portrayed.

The only reason people can still remember Kobe is cuz a guy he played on Christmas every day for a decade is still playing. They can always clout chase off his name and story to make Kobe's lil boring memory seem bigger than it was. Kobe was an aloof goofball that worked in LA for 20 years but made no movies or created anything outside of his basketball persona. Why do you think his widow is releasing new shoes every 2 days? That dudes story outside of LeBron and LeBron trolling is BORING!!!!:lol:

@Mask link me to a Kobe thread on BGOL that doesn't involve his death or mention LeBron whatsoever that went more than 3 pages long within the last 5 years? As much Kobe dick sucking that goes on here, should be easy right? Bronny James thread is 27 pages!! He has more followers on social media apps than Kobe, but for sure Kobe is waaaaay more popular than his dad!!

:roflmao:

Alt logins can troll, but they can't get you popping on these BGOL streets without the GOAT being involved.

Don’t nobody like him but Amajorfucup everyone else got him in ignore. :lol:

Nobody likes Kobe in real life. He raped an underage white woman and lost all his endorsements. He only has 4 fans in real life and they all post here. Creating alt logins to make it seem like hes still remembered in 2025. He'll never be forgotten in LA, but when Bron retires he won't get much NATIONAL coverage anymore, no point. :dunno:

Search is easy. You just know the truth.

Steph in the future is gonna be more remembered and referenced with Bron than Kobe will. His widow isn't doing his legacy any favors making it a poor man's Jordan brand only focusing on over priced shoe releases. :smh:

Trust me, it’s ALWAYS been that way since at least the Kobe days. I have too many friends and associates who are actual Natives that are Lakers fans. Never been Nuggets fans. I used to troll all of them with, “Must feel weird watching your actual hometown team dominate the team you chose to root for.” They didn’t like that. Tried to start claiming 2 teams and shit. FOH.

A lot of them moved but shit there’s a lot of transplants there and I’m sure they brought a lot of Lakers fans with them. Denver isn’t far from LA but they don’t even need to travel to get solid laker fan presence there
