You do realize the Lakers hire the best players from around the league to help Kobe win titles right? And have consistently had the best rosters or close to it throughout history. You're a joke.
Really? What Player have they "hired" to help Kobe win a title?
In 1996, Shaq was "hired" but that wasn't for Kobe to win a title. Kobe was just getting out of high school.
What other superstar free agent did they initially sign to the team to help Kobe actually win a title?
Bynum? Nope - he was drafted
Gasol? Nope - it was a trade (gave up one of the best big men in the game today for him)
Odom? Nope - it was a trade
Artest? Nope - wasn't a SUPERSTAR, was a vet min player by the time he was signed
Nash? Nope - not even close to a superstar any longer, didn't win a title
Howard? Nope - Basically gave up Bynum to get him, didn't win a title
Must have missed the part where they signed Chris Paul as a free agent. Oh wait.

No, I mean people who are specifically obnoxious against the Heat and hop on every bandwagon in every round to each different team and continuously littering the board with nonsense.
You have ZERO issues with those posters. Interesting how that works out, isn't it?
people rooting against the giant bandwagons is bad now??
Guess all the people who root for random teams each week vs the bama's and cowboys of the world are bad now.

So basically, you don't have a problem with teams wanting to win championships, but you have a problem with players wanting to win championships.

it's 2013. you root for who you want
maybe if teams had to earn their fans we'd see a better game. the saints and pelicans are geographically convenient. they might as well be the bengals or the hawks if based in another city

Was Lebron a FAN of the Heat? Are you saying that's why he went there?
No, I never said that, nice strawman though.
That Kobe was a fan of the Lakers doesn't make him any less entitled. I'm sure lots of guys have been drafted by teams they didn't root for and bucked up and played there. The fact that Kobe, who is from Philly, who's dad is from Philly and played for the 76er's wasn't a 76er's fan shows he was nothing more than another entitled, bandwagon jumping kid.

You are proving my point. There is no true loyalty in this country for hard work as a TEAM. It's all ME ME ME ME ME which translates to:
