@LA_HEALTHNEWS@lcrawford38@FTFonFS1@getnickwright@KDTrey5 I don't wanna go back and forth because haters gonna hate but, if this was war, LeBron's move was "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Celts and Magic were the enemy that knocked LBJ out. KD's move was "if you can't beat em, join em." He joined the team that beat him. @KDTrey5
@MrDimplesSD@Thechat101 And... that was LeBron, especially after his series vs Detroit... it is what it is. LeBron just played in Cleveland... small market. But he was the face. And I'm sure I'm older than you. You're probably born in the late 90s.
@MrDimplesSD@Thechat101 We're debating 2 different things. You're talking about popularity and I'm talking about the face of the league. You also keep moving the goal post while ignoring that Kobe played for LA which has the 2nd highest population of any city in the US.
@TheRocSupremacy@erictheswed3 Actually, if you're familiar with Jay, you know he is always influenced by other rappers he be around. That's not even a secret. From Beans to Young Chris... Jay switched his whole flow based on other rappers. Jay is nice but iron sharpens iron.
@MrDimplesSD@Thechat101 What about the year before... he was 1 or 2? Oh wait, even further down the list. He was charged with rape my guy... he dipped. He changed that jersey number, won some chips, and he went back up in popularity... but by then, LeBron was LeBron.
@MrDimplesSD@Thechat101 Ok so where was he this year? Oh wait... number 4. Just stop lying my guy. Kobe played for the most popular franchise in the NBA and he was winning chips but he wasn't the face of the league. He didn't have the personality to be the face of the league.
@MrDimplesSD@Thechat101 1. You listed years LeBron wasn't in the league.
2. LeBron had the highest selling jersey after he entered the league (2004).
3. 2005 Shaq
4. 2006 Wade
5. Kobe had the highest selling jersey until he changed his # (2007).
Bron was that guy when he entered.
@MrDimplesSD@Thechat101 That's literally was was happening in real time and unless you were old enough to remember it, just don't comment. Anyone saying he was the face of the league during Bron's early years was is delusional. He was wrapped up in a whole race scandal. You were probably 2 years old
@RevivedThoughts No... I've never been to Iceland although technically, I've been to Iceland because of layovers on my way to London and also Ireland. It doesn't count.
@madwatcher789@Reebok Not really. He didn't have a contract after Adidas. He was just shopping around as a free agent. Reebok made a colorway to match his Lakers jersey try. They're just gold AI's. Kobe was never signed to Reebok so he doesn't have a PE for Reebok. Ppl just started saying that.
