He was supposed to wear 6 again for the Lakers but nike wouldnt let him.

He also was planning to wear 32 for his 2nd run on the Cavs but nike (and fans) stepped in and asked that he wear 23 again

Word? What was Nike's issue with 6? I can understand people wanting him to keep 23 on the Cavs but he had no history with the Lakers

They already printed #23 Lakers jerseys for the year and would lose money on the jerseys already printed if he switched. For the sake of inventory they made him keep #23.

Bron this. Kobe that. MJ MJ. So basically the same as it is now.
I mean, every hoops forum discusses the same shyt, but this board wasn't the same as it is now.

Back then it still had an identity, characters, and somewhat a sense of spirit that lingered from the old board. Now it's morphed into something entirely different, which I guess, isn't entirely independent, but more so a reflection of what sports discourse has turned into, in general.

I like lebron but his fans have been terrible. Band wagon ass fans who were obnoxious cleveland fans, then obnoxious heat fans, then obnoxious cav fans again after years of being shyt again before now having years of being shyt again so we don't hear from them. But now they are obnoxious LA bandwagon fans.

These dudes just stan a player instead of ride or dying with the team they fell in love with.

Well @CHICAGO was talkin mad shyt and annoying everyone during the 2011 regular season when the Bulls were beating the Heat but was reeling and devastated from the ass kicking they gave his boytoy Derrick Rose and the rest of those regular season ass nikkas in 5 games :ohlawd:

That was great :ahh:


It was like it is now only on Steroids if you can believe that
His relationship with Bron is like Ether from Hov’s perspective

It wasn’t bad. They weren’t unbeatable. There games weren’t blowouts. And they were entertaining.

this ain’t like when kd joined the warriors.
There were some great playoff series with the heatles. And injuries weren’t happening in the playoffs


I enjoyed that era. It was a great for basketball


Lmao bringing up KD for no reason, same nikkas who throw tantrums every time Bron is mentioned in a thread.
