What if Lakers got LeBron James in 2014?

[arifgokcen]

What i would hate most about lebron going to LA is irrational lebron fans and lakers fans would become one.Imagine lakersreign or kennethgriffin combined with pauk defending lebron.

Even the thought of this creeps me out

holy shit ISH would implode with the idea of Laker fans and Lebron fans like myself coming together as one. ISH would be an orgy of the Laker's fan base.

If Kobe was still on the team it would be one giant Lakers troll fest. 90% of the fans on this board are either Lakers fans, LeBron fans, or Kobe fans. With all three being one it would be insane.

Worst nightmare would be the Lakers once again stealing mega talent developed elsewhere.

If Kobe saw the Lakers picked up Bron, he'd stay to try and get more rings. Even if he's no longer a 20 ppg scorer.

The boards would be unbearable. Super teams? Try super ISH. It's already 50% Laker fans, 40% LeBron / Heat fans ...

90% v.s. the 10% if it happens.

This would be an amazing "get" for the franchise, and would reclaim LA's status as the most hated franchise in the NBA.

Dwight & Lebron would be Kareem & Magic 2.0. I'd fvcking love to see this happen for the team.

Mind-blown.

[LBJ 23]

Well, for Lebron fans who follow and root only for Lebron and are not bound to any particular team(like myself), it wouldn't be such a big deal. We would just cheer for Lebron and his new team.

But imagine all those Lebron haters and supposedly Lakers fans like lakersreign, kenethgrifin, alphawolf, pegasus, Nick Young etc... They would have to swallow all the shit they were spitting about Lebron all these years or they would have to still hate on him even though he would play for their ''favourite'' team. Such a confused situation for them it's hilarious

Could happen.
But what if, say, Miami threepeats? (Or simply wins in 2014)
Would he leave a team just after having won a championship with them?

[JohnnySic]

It would be perfect. The Fake Chosen One playing for the Evil Empire!

[StateOfMind12]

Assuming Kobe retires or isn't as good anymore, I suspect most Kobe fans would actually completely root against the Lakers by then.

you do realize 2014 is only 2 years away, right?

[Nash]

Lebron going to the Lakers = Him turning the last of his haters.

Lebron will not leave Miami as long as Bosh is around though..

nobody really hates LeBron anymore imo.

Depends if Lakers manage to win some championships. LA fans will be beating their chests for a little while.

That would be great, to tell you the truth. I'd love to know who's actually a fan of the team and who's just a Kobe stan.

[CavaliersFTW]

Lakers fans will suddenly appear to expand as Heat fans will suddenly appear to decrease...

That's the problem with stans, they dont care what team a player is playing for they will pretend to be a fan of any team as long as their hero is on it. A lot of new accounts will be made by the wave of new "Lakers fans" (Old Lebron Heat) fans. Just like after the "Decision" magically there was a lot less Cavs fans and a ton of new Heat fans coming out of the woodwork with Lebron/Heat related accounts... Kobe fans disguised as Laker fans might continue to talk trash about Lebron or simply disappear altogether for a while so from the outside NBA world it might look like Laker fans are at war with each other for a but in truth it will be Lebron/Kobe stans both looking confused as hell about how to identify with their "team" because neither actually gives a sh*t about the Lakers.
