The Lakers are a bigger brand than LeBron James what the fuck are we even doing
• $10 BILLION franchise valuation
• 17 championships
• 66 playoff appearances
• Top-3 most popular basketball club in ALL 51 global markets surveyed
• #1 team merch sales in 2024-25
• Kobe was the #1 selling jersey internationally BEFORE LeBron ever wore a Lakers jersey
• #1 NBA team in China, Mexico, Philippines & several other major international markets
• Luka became the NBA’s #1 selling jersey immediately after becoming a Laker
Magic → Kareem → Shaq → Kobe → LeBron → Luka
LeBron is one of the biggest athlete brands ever, but the Lakers are a multi-generational global superpower of an organization
UNCLE MARVIN IN SEASON 3
TRYING TO CORRECT KANAN BEFORE HE GOT TOO OUT OF CONTROL
BUT RAQ STEPPING IN TO SAVE KANAN

BEFORE THE BOYS GET TOO OUT OF CONTROL IT’S ALWAYS A UNCLE
OR FATHER OR STEPFATHER TRYING TO STEP IN AND GUIDE HIM
BUT THE BLACK MOTHERS BABY THE BLACK SONS AND GO HARD ON THE BLACK DAUGHTERS
