Kobe Bryant Fans Not Happy With LeBron

A portion of Lakers “fans,” if you want to call them that, aren’t thrilled with LeBron James.

Last night LeBron missed a pair of free throws in overtime that resulted in the Spurs knocking down a go-ahead bucket on the other end of the floor and ultimately winning the game, sending the Lakers to a third-straight loss to begin the season. I now believe I should have bet the under on total wins for a Los Angeles team that cannot defend.

If you stumbled into the deepest and darkest crevices of social media overnight or this morning, you probably came across the same outrageous stuff I did regarding LeBron, who apparently is not as good as Kobe Bryant and never will be.

I agree. They must trade LeBron while he still has market value.

It’s true, he’s focused on making movies and shit, which explains why he only dropped 32, 8, and 14 last night.

He’s better than Kobe.

More lunacy after the jump:

I will.

You can’t trade Lonzo. He’s the best player on the team. You can trade LeBron before you can trade Lonzo.

You can’t trade Lonzo? Bruh.

No it didn’t.

They need to trade Lebron now if they are truly serious about competing for a championship. Get players more in line with the timeline of the young core.

Agreed. Trade LeBron. To the Sixers for a first round draft pick.

Trade Lebron and get Hart some help @lakers

A sentence I never thought I’d read.

Obviously, Kobe wouldn't have missed those two free throws to ice the game late in overtime.

Lakers needed one more guy tonight. And that guy is Kobe Bryant.
