What do 'loved' and 'successful in business' have to do with each other? And Kobe is not in that category anyway.

Not to mention that statement will need to be reevaluated after his jersey sales figures are released next year.  The Lakers probably just got 500 million bandwagon fans worldwide.  People in China, India, Philippines, Brazil, Europe etc dont care about his Cleveland to Miami drama.

Time for the NBA to just contract to 6 teams and kill the regular season.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Maybe to prove himself after injury for that big payoff?

Of course he’s looking for s long term deal and couldn’t get one this year. But he couldn’t get more than 5.3m at a team that he could prove himself?

No. And yes - he’s clearly after a ring and payoff. Assuming he gets healthy, do you think this is the most talented nba team ever?

He is basically making himself into a brand. It sure helps to be likeable and that he is not.

I know quite a few ppl who think that Bc they’re wearing lebrons they’ll be able to dunk. All they do is miss foul shots

I could dunk wearing the original Air Jordon's. Sure wish I never wore them.

I’m serious. Curry Thompson Durant green cousins. How can that not be in the same conversation as the best bulls team. Again - assuming boogie recovers.

Because three monster defensive players in MJ, Worm and crybaby Pippen would shut them down.

@stoolpresidente: Lebrons greatest legacy may be that he ruined the NBA forever with the Decision and starting the super team trend.

So would the 80's Laker squads.

Even the 2001 Lakers.  How would they stop Shaq?

But it's always silly to compare teams and players of different eras.  The game evolves, the rules change etc.
