It’s because Lebron isn’t a complete asshole to everyone around him, and according to some people (people I’d never want to be around myself) that’s a sign of weakness.

Don’t give us our own league, no center’s knees would ever be safe again

People just take it for granted that we’re getting the equivalent of Larry Bird and Magic staying healthy throughout the 90s, plus Dr. J still be healthy and nearly prime level in that era too. That’s what getting Curry and Durant still looking like they’re in their prime plus Lebron after two full decades still getting MVP conversations is like. It’s insane and I don’t newer fans really have a baseline to compare it to, to recognize how lucky it is we still get to see these guys playing at such a high level.

The only way to counter delusional Laker fan trade ideas is delusional Laker player trade ideas by other fans.

Pippen might be the best perimeter defender in league history though. And there’s zero chance Dame is stopping Pippen from driving to the basket and dunking.
