Sometimes it’s not suppose to be you that reaps the benefits sometimes it’s you that creates them and hands them down. God giving athletic ability or a big shot mom or dad isn’t in everyone’s cards. Go get it go grow, go build so your kids and loved ones can get the long end of the stick and the passes you wish you were granted and don’t resent them or hold it against them that their path differed from yours. There’s ceos and millionaires that started in there late 30s and 40s it’s never not a possibility until you instill that thought in your head and accept it.

As a Laker fan there really isn’t nothing more we want than to get LBJ out of LA. He got rid of our young talent and now got rid of a good defensive minded smart coach because he is too old to play defense.This is happening because Jeanie doesn’t have a clue

[@jaydot4956]

What young talent? Lonzo ball is a bust, BI has made 1 all star appearance in 7 years and Josh hart is just a role player. You making it sound like the Lakers got rid of a young Shaq or something.

[@adh2298]

Lol. U should really look at the facts before u start spewing bs and nonsense 😂 What young talent did Lebron get rid of sir? Last I checked Lonzo, Josh Hart, Kuzma, and Ingram combined have a grand total of just ONE Allstar appearance (B.I) and TWO playoff wins (B.I again). That don’t exactly scream talent to me, especially when Lebron BY HIMSELF literally has more all star and postseason success in the last 2 seasons alone 😂😂😂 Then u say Lebron wasn’t playing defense yet he ranked 10th in defensive rating of the 21 total lakers players who played this season. Incase u can’t do math that means literally over half the team was playing worse defense than Lebron and he’s the oldest player in the league! 😂😂😂
