Richard Jefferson on Lakers fans saying they won’t miss LeBron James when he leaves: “I’m here in LA, we got a lot of loyal deep Lakers fans, I was born in LA, I grew up a Lakers fan so I know it. But, it’s always those Kobe slash Lakers fans that are like we not going to miss him. And I’m like, you not going to miss a dude who brought a championship, keep the Lakers scoring record, like a Lakers record. Took you to a conference finals. Like, I’m sorry there was a gap between Magic, Shaq and Kobe. There was a gap between Shaq and Kobe, Kobe and Pau. There was a gap between Kobe and Pau to LeBron and AD. When Bron leaves there is going to be a gap between, it’s already it’s 2020, we in 2026 now. There is going to be another championship gap.” (Via Road Trippin’ Show)

This is why everyone loves Shaq. I am a Lakers fan, at least growing up I was, when you could watch sports without all the BS. I can’t watch them as long as LeBron plays for them. Wish he would retire already or leave and go chase another championship somewhere else, something Kobe, Magic, and Kareem never did.

LeBron’s Time in LA Won’t Be Remembered "The last time I rooted for the Lakers was a day before LeBron came to the Lakers. I've never been a fan of the way he built up the NBA." "In my opinion he's the 2nd greatest basketball player of all time. But there's something weird when you see Laker fans across the board celebrating that he's leaving." "He was with the Lakers for 8 years and won 1 championship, and the one he won was the covid one." "There are many memories of Michael Jordan we'll remember, there are not a lot of memories of LeBron we'll remember..."

Max Kellerman says the Lakers were a circus before LeBron got there and it was only Kobe fans who didn’t like the move 👀 “I was there when KCP got to town. The buzz in LA was ‘oh does this mean the ground work is being laid for LeBron?’ Everyone was extremely excited. The idea the Lakers would have a good relationship with Klutch, everyone was excited. The only people who hated a little bit were like there are Laker fans and strictly Kobe fans. Kobe fans feel competitive with LeBron that’s a whole separate dynamic. Let me tell you, LeBron got to LA, he turned the circus into a broadway show. It was a circus before he got here” (Via Game Over podcast)

Nick Wright on the debate if LeBron James tenure in LA was a success: “LeBron the record is 8 years with the Lakers, 7 trips to the playoffs. 2 seasons where they made a conference finals and 1 championship. And you’re going to have folks today earnestly genuinely try to argue that LeBron Lakers tenure was a failure. To which I would simply say or ask and don’t even add I’m not even asking you to add any age related qualifiers to it. Has Giannis 13 year Bucks career been a failure? Because in those 13 years, Giannis has 1 trip to the finals, 1 championship, and 1 trip to another conference finals and that’s the exact same thing as Bron in his 8 with the Lakers.” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)

Nick Wright on the Lakers: “I think the Lakers blew it. I think when Luka’s Lakers tenure is over, there is a greater than 50% chance that the best teammate he ever had was age 40/41 LeBron James…. Maybe he stays in L.A. I hope he doesn’t. I don’t think that team has been well run but also because I want to see the version of LeBron we got to see in the playoffs. 3rd option swift army knife LeBron, he’s too good for that role” (Via Dan Patrick Show)

Shannon Sharpe talking about Byron Scott comments saying he wants LeBron off the Lakers: “I wonder if LeBron wasn’t on the Lakers, would he still feel it’s time for LeBron to leave? He wasn’t talking about the Lakers when it was Kobe last years, did you hear anything about the Lakers? I’m not talking about him wanting Kobe to leave, but he wasn’t even mentioning the Lakers. The Lakers ain’t HAVE NO CHANCE. AIN’T NOBODY taking about Lakers and a chance to contend for a title. Nobody mentioned that. And then Kobe left, ain’t nobody mention the Lakers and contending for a title. The mere fact that you even think it’s possible for a team with a 41 year old to get to the championship lets you know just how great this man is.” (Via Nightcap)

To play where Magic, Kobe, Shaq’ and Kareem.’ Luka didn’t come into the Lakers like that. He was trying to figure out why this was happening… You could see he left his heart in Dallas and it was going to take him time… it’s kind of like if your boyfriend breaks up with you, it’s ok to go out and get a new dress and try to make him regret he ever did that.” (Via
