You should do a ban bet you so confident

A ban bet on what?

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

That still doesn't answer my question.

If you're saying that these bandwagon supporters only started following the Lakers/Kobe after they won a championship, how would a scenario exist that they would trade in all those championships for a team that hasn't won anything yet? There's no logical possibility of what you're suggesting that could occur. Those bandwagon fans would never trade in those championships for a roster that hasn't won anything, for the simple fact that those fans would never exist in the first place - because they only ever existed because of the championships. It's a butterfly effect.

Lakers/Kobe 'bandwagon' fans wouldn't exist if Kobe didn't have five championships.

You don't get it. The bandwagon fan doesn't value or have the same affinity for the past as a real fan does. It's like a bytch that only likes you because you're that nikka. She started liking you in 2000 when you was one of the first nikkas with a Hummer but now you're still driving that 2000 Hummer in 2015 while other nikkas is pushing 2015 Benzes. She loved that shyt back then because the car was the shyt at the time but now she's picturing herself riding in one of these new whips with a nikka she knows is going to be getting money for awhile. If you can't appreciate that analogy then we should agree to disagree.

It's about the present not the past. Laker fans would give up all the past championships of the last 15 years to have our roster.

Shaq is my favorite player of alltime. You can't get me to say a bad word about that man.

I had every Shaq rookie card and they were stolen

nikkas stole my cards too. I know it was a friend of mine but I can't prove it. When you're a kid you're way too trusting.

@Blackthoughts As a fan this is the fun part, your team going from an afterthought to a legit contender. Its all downhill from here tho. Every accolade from the team you want to let everybody know so they pay attention and stop sleeping on your squad. But once you reach that level its over. Now you're in championship or bust mode. Aint nobody trying to see posts about regular season matchups against other top teams or what stats some player put up. shyt dont matter. So enjoy this shyt, this is the last fun season you'll have. Everything changes after this

A ban bet on what?

Warriors winning it all this season
They are right?

I wouldn't make that bet. Injuries happen and San Antonio could acquire an allstar tomorrow.

I think you'll find to some degree they do, that's why they're bandwagon fans in the first place. As a good majority of these 'bandwagon' fans only hopped on because of Kobe, and which fan base brings up their player's past achievements more than any other fan base? Kobe stans do. You're essentially saying that Kobe stans would trade in Kobe and his ENTIRE career for a roster that's won nothing.

Like I said before, the fractal of their existence on this board is only because of those championships, you can't say they'd trade them all in because they themselves wouldn't exist in the first place if they were to. And that's not even taking into account your suggestion is patently ridiculous.

It's like a bytch that only likes you because you're that nikka. She started liking you in 2000 when you was one of the first nikkas with a Hummer but now you're still driving that 2000 Hummer in 2015 while other nikkas is pushing 2015 Benzes.
