Kenny Smith says the Lakers HAVEN’T taken LeBron for granted 👀

“In college I played with Michael Jordan. In the NBA with Hakeem. Never in their tenure did I hear the word ‘my team’ or ‘taken for granted.’ The things they worried about, were not cookies. Or seats on the plane or seats in the stands. Did the Lakers take him for granted? I would say no. When he wanted AD to be there, they went out and figured out a way to get him. When they needed to make a trade for Luka, they did it. When they needed to draft your son, they did It!”

Rob Parker DESTROYS Lebron for saying The Lakers took him for Granted 🔥

"They got AD for him, they got Westbrook for him, he wanted Vogel gone, they got rid of him. He wanted his son on the team, they drafted him, he wanted JJ Redick. How in the World can he put his lips together and honestly say to Dave McMenamin Uh they take me for granted because they've everything that they can for him during his time in LA"

[BossHogg @6Hogg6]

LeBron fans explain this to me like I'm 5. How is it LeBron chooses every team he goes to - he chooses the front office he'll play for & the players he'll play with....yet when he loses, the front office sucks, his teammates sucks, everyone sucks but the man who chose that team.

I’ve never been the biggest Lebron fan but anybody saying his career as a Laker so far hasn’t been a major flop is doing a disservice to LeBron. Obviously we’re not counting the micky mouse And 1 Bubble tournament as a real title. So we’re judging him on just his ability to make the playoffs for a cup of coffee? To never be a real threat? Meanwhile MJ and Russell were winning titles at his age not just being cannon fodder for their opponents. So out of respect for LeBron and his legacy I refuse to describe his time in LA as anything other than a complete and utter failure. After all this was his longest consecutive tenure with any team and he didn’t win a title. He’s basically Clyde Drexler or Karl Malone Great players in their own right that never won.

LeBron doesn’t even make the roster of all time Laker greats. It’s an insult to his legacy and the legacy of a top 5 player of all time to say his tenure in LA was successful. Although I suppose if he truly was a top 5 all time player would have probably won in LA right? Hmm. Tough to wrap my brain around it.

@KerrickDuchy Sounds accurate considering the super teams/ all stars he’s surrounded himself with, the team hopping and 23 years in the league all the while claiming you’re the 🐐

[WhatsTrending @whatstr3nd]

@WITNESSKJ The other 2 never made up excuses, blamed team mates and hopped teams to chase rings, and most importantly- never called themselves the 🐐
