Akron boy who carried the Cavs to a title. I think they'd forget the bad shite if he came home for the rest of his career and took a vet minimum to help fund the rest of the roster and be competitive.

But he won't do that, so it's a moot point.

The Lakers were my favorite team as a kid during Magic era, then again during Shaq era, but I turned into a hater after the Shaq/Kobe split.

I sort of rooted for Lebron during 1st Cavs stint and again during Cavs championship run. I pulled against the Heat big time.

I briefly considered pulling for Lakers when he joined the stacked West because it seemed brave of him to mentor a really talented but young roster. Then he threw his teammates under the bus publicly and orchestrated the fraudulent trade for AD. I’ve been a hater since even though I appreciate his talent.

I might sort of root for the Lakers again now.

I only do it for the NBA.

My favorite NFL, college, and MLB teams don’t change.

Although I did grow up a Yankees fan because of my dad during Mattingly era but turned into a hater before they won 90s rings. Mostly due to Steinbrenner and their fans.

Wtf is this guys deal. I thought LA was perfect for him. He can be a disciple of all hail Kobe Bryant (and of course pass him significantly) and be sort of a celebrity at the same time drinking wine on the bench.

Though I'll take all this back if he signed with the Grizzlies.

8 years with the Lakers, 1 title during the goofy covid year

Despite having stellar supporting members, generally

Not bagging on him, but that surprised me

Peak NBA fandom right here. It's why you're not a serious person.
