While they may be disappointed, I doubt they would feel embarrassed.

Bron won’t be embarrassed until the Clippers win a title and make LA their fricking city.

You guys think LeBron and AD are embarrassed that Kawhi chose to play with George (and would've chosen Jrue or Beal) over playing with them?


Of course they are. And it was the Clippers of all teams

Lol at Mr Perfect

He is certainly aware that other high end players don’t wanna team up with him. it has been evident for a while now.

Is Anthony Davis not a high end player? Maybe some guys don’t want to be in the shadow of Lebron, which is understandable. You seem to allude to these guys hating Lebron. I would like to see the evidence you speak of.

Why would it be “embarrassing” that Kawhi didn’t want to have a super team? I don’t think Kawhi necessarily chose anyone else over Lebron. He just chose himself and he wanted someone, anyone, to help him “load manage.”

There were rumors of KD and Butler early on with Kawhi and Clippers. The very first thing in free agency is Durant was listening to Clippers with Kawhi pitch. I’m willing to bet they both said no before PG became a realistic option.

This was all propaganda paid for by Ballmer according to our very own Laker Insider Mr Perfect

There will be a 30 for 30 about it and the Clippers will be sanctioned

Davis is a Robin. He is not a big dog. he has a soft mentality. damn near every big dog star in the league has the chance to play with lebron over the last few and declined.

Kawhi
PG
Butler
Durant
Hardwn
Paul
Kyrie
Damian

Etx
Etx

I’m definitely missing some. If it was up to lebron he would have wanted to play w each and every one of those guys.

I think this adds to it. Kawhi basically wanted to play with any other high end players, other than LeBron and AD. Durant was option 1, Butler was rumored (not sure if that one is for sure), Clippers reached out for Jrue and Beal, then ultimately traded for George.

I think the PG trade proves that the KD and Butler rumors were accurate. LAC had the space to sign 2 max guys so obviously that would be priority 1 before trading away the future of draft picks.


But yeah, Ballmer.

Did you read my post? I wanted evidence of Brons reputation that these guys hate. It’s very convenient that when someone does want to play with him they are soft.

Meanwhile you mentioned the absolute mentally softest player in the league, James Harden. There’s more Championship DNA in Lebrons finger than James Harden will ever have.

Lol i know. He was paying Woj on the side

Mr Perfect actually said the Clippers would be sanctioned. I will never let him forget that

But i really wish we had traded for Beal. I saw he was in LA over the weekend and thought thats who we would be trading for

We never said anyone hates lebron.

People don’t wanna play with lebron for two reasons.

1. These guys would rather beat the best than team up with the best. Competitors mentality

2. These guys didn’t work their whole lives to become franchise players to take a back seat to lebron and have him glory hog the wins and blame the teammates when he loses.

It is Very easy to understand why guys would feel the way they do for both of those isn’t it.

It seems to me Kawhi wanted to play with just one other high end player. It sounded to me like he might have been a Laker if AD (or Lebron) wasn’t there but who really knows with Kawhi? Maybe he just wants to beat Lebron. Nothing wrong with that. Sounds like high level of respect actually.

Just seems like Boom always spouting how nobody likes Lebron when pretty much every teammate he’s ever had gushes about him. Kyrie even publicly apologized to him.

I can understand hating the man for sports reasons but he’s painted as some sort of horrible person a lot and I don’t really get it.

Can I get some sort of backup to these franchise players that Lebron has blamed when he loses? When Lebron loses a Finals, the whole world laughs at Lebron and his finals record. His defenders might claim blame on some teammates like JR smith or something but you are really just spinning your own narrative here.

Lebron is destroyed by the public when he loses.
