If it's anything these Kobe stories has led me to believe, is that Kobe was a lot more personable then he let on & had relationships with a lot of people. So i have no idea how dudes are coming in here acting as if Bron was faking it.
Hell it was highly publicized that Kyrie called Kobe when he won the chip, and yet we hear now that Kawhi did the same thing after last years chip. We have no idea what these people relationship is whatsoever
As far as the media.... this is what they do $$$, doesn't matter what happens. they're gonna drive narratives & they're gonna create story lines. unfortunately Kobe's death & The Lakers aren't exempt from that. Lebron leading the Lakers to a chip was already big business, Him doing it under these circumstances ramps it up to 1000.

Maybe you and a few others misinterpreted what I said. I piggy backed off of
don ramon
but I DID NOT say what he said.I couldn't give less of a **** about what Lebron or Kobe's "relationship" was really like. I am simply referring to how this ordeal is being made into a Lebron narrative in the media. I'm talking about how after the tribute...Stephen A interchangeably goes from being somber to getting back in character to tell us how he knows "Kobe would have wanted Lebron" to do this, this, and that. The building narrative from all the talking heads of some "burden" being placed on his shoulders. This is HEAVILY produced and a blind man can see it.

At this point I can see that it isn’t a problem with Lebron it’s a problem with themselves

It’s going to be ugly if the Lakers lose. My opinion on Bron ain’t changing but yeah I can smell the nastiness brewing.

And i think this is ****** up too...which is exactly my point. Kobe's death has been baked into Lebron narrative and now what happens for the rest of the season is going to be one BIG ******* movie for a league that's supposedly in a ratings decline.
You see how nasty this **** is underneath the surface?

I wish Bron was a younger man so he can show you Lakers fans that he'd easily leave LA if he was still unhappy in a few years.
That said, he's old so he's finishing his career there

Yeah, I really don’t see the point in trying to judge from the outside how close Kobe and LeBron were or see why it should matter when their relationship developed. If LeBron feels like he lost a brother, who are any of us to question it? He feels how he feels.

and it’s going 100% going to come from both sides.
“he failed Kobe. This is why we didn’t want him”
“The burden of winning was too strong. He gets a pass”
I see it. Like a 27 inch zenith. Believe it.

If Lebron wasn’t on the lakers RN no one would give a damn if they needed to win the chip or not
And it’s come out that Bean had good relationships with almost the entire league!
Facts. Some people were so crushed they called out of work and they ain’t even meet kobe. And they wanna **** on Bron and Kobe relationship like they ain’t really good friends. Media don’t know Jack ****
