I head into every Lakers game hoping and praying it may be the game I hate LeBron James a little bit less. 11 games have come and gone and that day has not arrived.
This is a constant, everyday struggle for REAL Lakers fans. You don’t just come into LA with a few NBA titles and MVP’s and think we’re going to ride out for you immediately. I’ve been to LA a total of one time in my entire life but I know Lakers fans aren’t bandwagons. We leave that to Clipper fans. Ask Karl Malone or Steve Nash how that works. If you want to be OUR KING, it’s not going to happen overnight.
Anyone that fucks with LeBron as a Laker super hard already is trash to me and deserves to be ex-communicated from Laker Nation. I’ve been spoiled given that the 2 greatest athletes of our generation are on the teams I happen to root for and have played for one team and one team only their entire career. THAT’s how you earn respect with Laker fans. You want Jack Nicholson cheering for you courtside? It’s gonna take longer than 21 days. And you’ll need a lot more than a terrycloth headband to win us over.

I’ll be honest, it’s hard for me to watch all the Lakers games. They usually start at 10:30 so if they’re on I can only make it to halftime. Last night I tuned in for the last half of the 2nd quarter and I truthfully didn’t even notice he was in the game. We had Kuzma hitting buzzer beater 3’s, JaVale throwing hammers, and new addition Tyson Chandler making an immediate impact. It may be time to ask, do the Lakers even need LeBron?
I was fast asleep by this point but here’s the last minute or so in real time action. 1 point game and we’ve got LeBron trying to play hero ball throwing up 3’s. The Black Mamba would NEVER. Thank god it was Josh Hart at the line to ice the game with 2 clutch free throws and a win.
Also, it’s beginning to eat me alive that LeBron has the hottest fanbase of all time. First we had Rihanna writing his number in sunscreen on her abs:
And now we’ve got Emily Ratajkowski and her hard nipples calling LeBron boo. If I’m his wife Savannah I’m putting an end to this quick. Perhaps a nipple off will settle it.
