I mean that last section is absolutely some The Coli/NBA Twitter horse shyt. I can believe the rest. I don’t know how any of this would be particularly surprising if you paid attention in real time

Lebron does seem to have retired nikkas that still speak fondly of him and obviously has the banana boat dudes that rock with him hardbody, so I doubt he’s just insufferable all the time. But he def seems like if he doesn’t like you, he’s gonna sub the shyt outta you OD. Probably preferable to some other notable a$$hole NBA players like a Shaq or Kobe


Stan wars aside, when it comes to LeBron, Kobe, Mike, if they see you as an impediment to a chip it's probably not gonna be a great environment to say the least. :mjlol:

Russ was ass in that series against the eventual champs. FOH.

Russ hand was mangled during that series.


The team was shorthanded as is with Russ being a vital piece all year and in the post season up to that point and was still putting the clamps on Shai while injured.

You are sexually attracted to Stephen A Smith
Ha. FR.

Since they so plugged in with SAS, they should ask his jiminy cricket looking ass why he acts like King Kong against Black women, but turns to courage the cowardly dog when a white man checks him on his own show.

i’m sorry, are we really letting Russell Westbrook be the barometer for how good of a teammate another superstar is?

Nothing against Westbrook, mind you, but the dude is known for having a short fuse and he does not tolerate any sort of perceived “divaness” from his teammates. it’s the same dude who would bark on Kevin Durant for not moving whenever the ball was not in his hands in OKC, would yell at the Houston Rockets staff whenever they delayed film sessions for James Harden (his friend mind you) and will yell and taunt opposing players when he makes the most simple of plays out of pure competitive spirit.

it wouldn’t surprise me that he would take umbrage at being in a LeBron lead locker room, but I don’t think that’s a major indictment against LeBron.

Bron didn't even care that Westbrook was a married man with a family or that he did stuff to help LA

All Russ ever wanted to do was heave the ball at the side of the backboard, randomly pass the ball out of bounds, and just have fun and not worry so much about winning.

And for Bron to be cordial to Russ despite the latter's shytty play while Bron schemes to reunite with a player who is younger and a proven better fit?

I dunno guys this LeBron James guy might be a fukking dirtbag

I didnt blame Bron for wanting Russ gone.

Russ was a horrific basketball player for the Lakers. Even AD wanted him gone.

Whats worse was he never took accountability for his shyt play just went out there and did the same dumb shyt night after night

Where Bron deserves blame is trading for Russ in the first place. That was easily the dumbest play of his career.

Why would he want to play with a stubborn, ball dominant low iq player who couldnt shoot to save his life.

When has a player like that ever meshed with his game?

Add to the fact that Russ was a HOF player who only ever knew how to play one style and therefore could never modify his game

And of course it didn’t work out
And of course everyone was unhappy

And now Bron gets to forever look like a piece of shyt for undoing his mistake.

Lowkey i think LeBron shifted his focus after that delonte West situation. Seems like that Before that, he was all about teammates and forming lifetime bonds. Even the movie about his high school team showed that.

Seems like after that situation, whatever happened, he just puts his legacy over any friendship and just makes moves for himself.

There's like 10 different stories of this and none of them happened before that situation with his mom lol


Naw. Bron my goat but the truth is he’s from the school of Jay-z, only loyal to the day ones everyone else is just a stepping stone. Ironically Jay is the goat too.

I mean… he requested himself to get traded because he hated his teammates, but the bulls ultimately declined:

Kobe Bryant confirms he wanted trade in 2007 to the Chicago Bulls
Don't forget this :lolbron:
The Los Angeles Lakers called the Cleveland Cavaliers about a Kobe Bryant-for-LeBron James trade in 2007, reports ESPN’s Brian Windhorst.

The Cavaliers quickly rebuffed the Lakers’ offer, but told Los Angeles they could have anyone else on the team in exchange for Bryant. The Lakers declined, according to the report.
