Kobe haters are mad because he's only SUPERSTAR royal to his Team.

Dry snitching. The worst kind of snitching. Kobe is still the hoe of the century for that shit.

Lebron btched out on Cleveland,
Melo left Nuggets,
PP, KG, Ray, all ran away from Boston
CP3 left the Hornets
Dwight left the Magic
Bosh left the Raptors


Aside from Timmy, maybe Wade too, Kobe is the only Superstar that stayed loyal to the Lakers. Haters be like, Kobe this and that, blah blah blah, but deep down, we all know Kobe is the best

"He tried to go to the Bulls."

Guess what? He's still wearing the Lakers uniform.

Magic Johnson had "been there, done that" some 20+ years ago. He also did the "5 Rangz" thing before it even became the popular "go to" phrase these past few years. This was back in the day, when even non-Laker fans actually enjoyed watching the team win.

Pau came months afterward. He wasn't brought in immediately.

Wtf are you talking about?

All you have to do is watch a documentary about the Showtime Lakers to know that haters have existed in every era of the NBA. You don't become the GOAT sports franchise without a lot of hate coming your way.

Probably by the Celtic fans, but I've seen them being loved even more than the most current factions of the Lakers.

By the way, the GOAT sports franchise are the Yankees. If it's just basketball, then yes I would agree it's the Lakers, with the Celtics not far behind.

Duncan and Dirk are this generation's poster boys for loyalty. Especially Dirk, who endured tough seasons of disappointment after disappointment. When he was finally rewarded with team that had a real opportunity to win it all, he made the most of it.

Didn't Magic Johnson want a trade out of the Lakers early on his career (around the 81-82) because he wasn't able to run his style of offense and it eventually got his coach fired for Pat Riley ?

Um, you do know that the league has always had this group of people called "casuals" who would watch and take interest in the sport, and helped to make it more popular right? "Magic vs. Bird"? Helping the popularity of the sport to the point that it's no longer on tape delay?

Magic Johnson, one of the most charismatic and exciting players to ever play the game, helped the league while it was a sinking ship to become one of the most popular sports in US history. That's called "Impact" and "Game Changing", something you don't have happen without "non-fans" taking an interest in what you're doing.

But of course, you already knew damn well the point that I was making in my original post.

[k0kakw0rld]

But didn't get traded. I don't care about stuff that almost happened.

Of course, you are setting the rules to make you win regardless. What a pathetic human being you are.

I think you take this stuff a bit too seriously.

Bird and Magic made the NBA mainstream, got the league on primetime TV.

Jordan made it a global corporation.

Retard OP can't even spell "loyal" correctly when attempting to describe Kobe. Also too stupid to understand that demanding to be traded in times of mediocrity isn't a sign of loyalty.
