Lebron was so dumb for joining Lakers

[StrongLurk]

BBIQ huh? Not much in that choice.

[COLOR=Teal]Windhorst's priceless reaction said it all, it's painfully obvious this was LeBron's original plan. That shocker of a signing at the time absolutely devastated his chances of competing this year and possibly beyond.[/COLOR]

He was so dumb for joining Miami and then Cleaveland.

At least he didn't stack the deck in a bad conference by joining LA.

One title in LA would be worth more than anything else he's done.

LeBron didn't join the Lakers purely for basketball reasons. He's looking towards his future after he retires from the sport.

[STATUTORY]

like Wesley Snipe says: some mutha****as are always trying to ice skate uphill

[RRR3]

Yes very much so

Lakers are dumb for accepting that cancer. Shoulda went all in for PG and AD and that squad would have been a million times better than anything Bron is involved because ultimately, even if we get another star or sub-star ala Kemba, Bron won't be the one to utilize his team to its best potential.

Somebody bump this idiots threads where he's sucking LeBron off during the first 2 months of the season. I've never seen anyone contradict themselves as much as this dipshit does. You are so transparently fukking stupid.

[COLOR=Teal]Far from applying a reductionist mindset here, in part because the Lakers problems run deeper than adding LeBron and all that entails, (and it's kinda late now for whatifs anyway,) but [/COLOR][COLOR=Teal]I can't help thinking Kyrie might've been a better fit for this group of role players, [/COLOR][COLOR=Teal][COLOR=Teal][COLOR=Teal]irrespective of the outcome[/COLOR][/COLOR].

He's dumb for thinking this won't effect his legacy. To smart people, it doesn't. But the average basketball fan isn't smart. They will see Lebron losing and slot him behind Kobe, Magic, Shaq, Kareem, because he simply never won in LA.

He also went to a place where a lot of the fans HATE HIM. Kobe stans make up half the Lakers fanbase and they will ride him until he retires no matter how old Lebron is. Hell, the reaction of him passing MJ in scoring was pathetic because of it.

If he did that is Cleveland, the reaction would have been MASSIVE (plus the Cavs would actually be a playoff team with him still there). He is going to finish his career losing a whole bunch...that's not how you want to go out as a legend.

Lmao we wouldnt have had a problem with him if he wasn't pulling the shit he did this season. Things that NBA fans have criticized him for YEARS. It all came out in the light now that he's back in the spotlight and not some shithole in the East. Bron is literal cancer. Its evident based on his career

Except that's how several legends went out. Shaq, Bird, Hakeem, Kobe etc. all did nothing but lose last 5+ years of their careers. And how often does that get brought up? Never

Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving got their own movie deals while playing in Oklahoma City and Cleveland respectively. You don't need to live in the major market cities to be a global star in 2019; it's just not necessary and not being in LA or NYC doesn't restrict your opportunities like it used to. Kids become mini-moguls of their own media empires from their bedroooms in the heart of America now. Lebron could have retired a Cav and still carved out a post-playing career in entertainment.

He clearly went to LA thinking Magic and the Busses have plans to buy him a few more chances at rings as he gets older and that's not how it's working out so far. End of story.

lol. It's hilarious how naive some of you are. You really think guys like Barley and Malone lay up all night not being able to sleep because they couldn't win a championship? That they couldn't add that to their "legacy". These are grown ass men with millions of dollars and families. Legacies matter a lot more to you obsessed fans then it does to actual players.

Legacy, probably not But I guarantee they both regret not being able to win a championship
