Kobe - "If you have to convince a player to play for the Lakers, he ain't the one."

[stalkerforlife]

The one.

What do you think that means?

And no, Bran cowardly going to LA to avoid losing in the East doesn't count.

It means only certain types can handle the pressure of LA or NY; alphas.

Any star can go to a small market team and be praised for merely making the playoffs or winning a single title, but only the true alphas can win multiple titles under that hot spotlight.

Kobe demanding LA may be the most alpha move of all time; if Kobe doesn't win multiple titles there, he's a bust. The expectations are through the roof and that's why a great deal of true LA fans hate Bran's stat stuffing loser play.

Only the greatest would demand LA or NY and win multiple titles in that sauna.

Ain’t no pressure on a sidekick

Paul Gasol was a true alpha for leading that team to a championship. We also know Shaq is an alpha as well.

The problem not enough people seem to realize, Kobe included, is that this Lakers franchise is not the same as Dr. Jerry Buss's Laker franchise. Things are different.

So what does this have to do with LeBron? I'm pretty sure it didn't take much convincing as Bran wanted to get out to LA as he's looking toward his future after basketball and wanted to be around that scene.

Because Bran is a coward and chose pathetic organizations that would worship him for little success.

Zero pressure.
