In all honesty I still send death threats to Danny green to this day. Something bout it gives me peace of mind

Lmfao bro I forgot about that. God damn. Imma add it to the post.

I was glad he took the shot 🤣

Imagine yelling at a woman who’s been apart of in some way every championship we have since magic Johnson to sell the team

Why wouldn’t they 😈

Right imagine if for one damn week all the fans told Westbrook something positive like damn maybe the mf would atleast shoot his average. It ain’t a coincidence the amount of negativity and all the average shooters are shooting god awful

You ain’t lying. Im not even a huge lebron fan but I been a lakers fan since I was 10 and god damn this fan base is the least supportive fans in bad times I’ve ever seen. I started out being a fan when we was in that muddy period between shaq leaving and us winning the repeat with Gasol so I’ve learned to appreciate the good and bad. Some of these fans just can’t hang. If social media was around we would have probably drove Kobe off the lakers before he went back to back

We’re going 82-0 this year. The refs will eventually review our 2 losses and find someone’s toe on the line.

Positivity? You’re probably a spy from the warriors sent to sabotage us

See this. It isn’t about Westbrook. This is about us.

Westbrook is just the worst and most recent example. We’ve sent death threats for missed shots. We talked so much shit about kuzma and now wish he was still here. The list goes on

The whole damn team sucks tho and our front office is to blame for bringing him into a system that might be the worst fit for him ever. He was worth the 47 mil on the thunder and the wizards. He wasn’t worth it at all on the lakers and the rockets. But the lakers is the only team he’s been on that can’t even make the playoffs bc our whole team is built so bad.

We talk about how he ain’t a championship player but wish we got derozan instead. If derozan was on this team he wouldn’t be playing nearly as good as he is on the bulls tho bc our team and system isn’t it for those players

Well maybe this will open some peoples eyes to support our team and not feed into the narrative ya know 🥲

Bro no one on the team has pointed a finger at anyone this year 2 games in. There’s a reason why. And it’s the same reason the whole team wants Westbrook to keep shooting when he’s bricking. They want our players to have confidence bc most of them get completely shitted on enough and hardly any praise when they play good

The fans are a problem. Especially ones who haven’t been on the lakers train for too long

Legend. Or the most hated player in the nba. And absolutely no matter what…. Nothing in between

Exactly we have something going for us this year tbh. And that defense was lead by pat bev and Westbrook in the end. But they couldn’t hit a shot. So what. Let em get confident and start shooting their averages and the paint will open up for us to operate and WIIIN

Yeah that’s true. But then there’s the video of the laker fan last game yelling at Westbrook calling him trash as he walked out lmao. If you ain’t seen it, it’s funny as hell. The fan completely switched up what he was saying when Westbrook came back out and confronted them

Like how is yelling at a player calling them trash suppose to give them confidence to go out there next game and play better 😂

Again like I’ve said to many people. This ain’t just about Westbrook it’s about every player we’ve harassed in recent memory. Think about every other example like kuzma and Danny green and realize how dumb our fans are in the heat of the moment

How the hell do you know what a player does after a game tho? He could be in the gym right now lmao. And Westbrook is the least coddled player in the nba right now period. He played good in the summer game where he had the best 3pt% and fans ridiculed an air all on the free throw lmao

Malik monk was gonna cash in before he played here we got him for cheap. And that spoiled attitude of only generational players can hang on the lakers is going to keep us down waaaay more then it’ll help.

How can we build a team before signing a generational talent if we talk mad shit about the team before we can sign that player. It’s a vicious circle we’re creating that will hurt us moving forward

Yeah that’s part of the problem. It’s toxic. We’d be fine if half our fans weren’t screaming for trades everyday even after coming off a ring

Make me hoe

Maaaan I became a fan in between shaq and Gasol. Bro it was so fun back then. Just kobe being kobe, no outrageous expectations and nothing to lose. Was fun as hell to watch

Yeah those picks are huge. That’s why I can’t wrap my head around people wanting the pacers deal to go thru for it to maybe make us at best a first round exit lmao

Yeah but how often can we get a player like Kobe or lebron who can shut the world out and still play amazing. We will always need that second piece who might not be mentally capable of handling our fans and it’ll ruin potential title runs imo

Bet imma check it out. Is it actually intellectual and not a bunch of dumbasses? Lmao

I mean look I get it he ain’t it. But he earned my respect when he was the only superstar to play almost every single game last year. If we had at least a half decent supporting cast when it was just him and lebron and ad were injured we would have made the playoffs

Nah what’s that lol

I agree Stan’s are annoying. But lately it’s our own people who be talking the most shit lmao

If you a superstar you already atleast have 1 and 2. And 3 can be obtained on multiple different teams.

Riiight. Like we knew we weren’t made to make it all the way but it was fun to see how far one man could take us him vs the world

Right. Like people forget Russ has always played with 100% determination before he got here. He’s hyper competitive and has put shitty markets with sub par players on his back and gave them a game to watch. LA fans aren’t the cause of his bad fit on the team and his poor performance because of it, but we make it 100x worse on him to get it together. Fucking gasping every time he shoots 🤣 like god damn cmon

Yeah reading a lot of comments on this post I think it brought out the real ones who are tired of the childish bullshit also. And that’s a good point about Philly and the knicks. Their fans can be problematic to say the least.

Thing that gets me is so many people say “we hold our players to higher expectations and if they can’t take the constant criticism then they aren’t meant for LA”… well then why don’t we hold ourselves to higher expectations as fans.

That’s badass OG. Don’t let these new fans make you think the lakers culture is going to shit. When the hype dies down us real ones will still be here 💜💛

Hating on consistently bad players is ok. But death threats over one missed shot and hating kuzma cuz he was on a cold streak is wild and something lakers fans are accustomed to

Idk that Miami team and second cavs team was pretty sweet I don’t remember them trashing those haha. And the cavs front office deserves all the heat for lebrons first 7 years in the league

You talking about league pass? Fuck that I’m free streaming my shit🤣

Ay I like ya point of view. Before last season tho, I thought WB was one of if not the most confident player and now he look like he’s on suicide watch tho. Maybe our ignorance is overtaking these mfs confidence cuz daaaamn

Off topic real quick. Im jealous as hell man, I wish I was around for 80s showtime basketball. I’ve watched tons of full games of magic Johnson on YouTube and he’s by far my favorite player of all time. You ever see them in person in the 80s?

Haha you’re wise my brother. I’m keeping my sports discussions on porn hub for now on

Right I can’t wait to be the only dude on my fb posting how the lakers gonna go 82-0 and we’re literally a lottery team no one cares about haha. I know that sounds sarcastic but I’m being fr 😂

That’s a really good point. Our fan base is so big the mob mentality is amplified to an unbelievable degree

See this ain’t even just a Reddit thing. It’s every social media has so much toxicity. Reddit was just the perfect place to ask 🤣

How am I defending him? He’s playing horrible. But the whole team is garbage and no trade will fox that especially one involving 2 important picks

On god 😂😂😂

Damn bro you made me just have an epiphany 🥲

Way our fans are now days you’d think Kurt Angle is walking out to the ring 😂

Right only laker shit I rock is my og Kobe 8 jersey. Besides that lakers fans too embarrassing for me to be associated besides when the games on

Lmao nah I ain’t a lebron fan like that. He’s one of the best ever but I didn’t keep up with him on the regular so I don’t really remember the hate on his good teams but I wasn’t paying attention tbh. I was too busy dick riding kawhi while the lakers were going thru it

🔪

On god I just love nba and some nice tits tho. And lately there’s too much negativity on my nba team.

Tits still good tho

That’s gate keeping a lot of really good player from playing to their best potential if they came to play for LAkers or potentially making them think twice on even signing in the first place

Crazy part is. Did lebron even do anything to cause it? Or is it just some kind of fucking curse he has?

…. Prolly something to do with skip

Well I mean all social media and in person shit taking. I don’t just mean reddit. This was just the easiest places to get the most opinions

I get that. But in their defense. I don’t think anyone ever in the history of the nba besides MJ has had as much commitment as Kobe. Hell I think Kobe had more commitment then MJ, but mj was just more naturally gifted.

And last year who would you say was the most committed player we had?

It’s more then just reddit lmao. It’s every social media site which makes it hot for sports television to bash us and also fans who shit talk our own damn players at games

I get it we should criticize his performance cuz it’s bad and the salary cap his contract takes up. But we’re beating a dead horse on that shit.

And most importantly it’s not like all his playing abilities were magically taken away. He’s in a system/team that highlights all of his weaknesses and hinders all of his strengths. If he was still on the wizards he would be a crowd favorite like he was and help them make it to the playoffs while helping bradly Beal score the most ppg he’s ever had. He is amazing on teams that have decent shooters, don’t clog the paint, and doesn’t have another ball dominant superstar. Maybe not a championship caliber player but the same goes for a lot of fan favorites of the past.

And if we had the players we traded for him we still wouldn’t be good. AD is gonna miss games and lebron more then likely will too. Who would lead the team kuzma? It’s a lose lose for us and we brought in the worst fit player for the team in hopes of molding a 33 year old non shooting pg to play off ball spot up at the 3 surrounded by tons of other below average shooters

Nah no way this is true. Before the lebron laker title all I saw was lakers fans/lebron haters on social media posts talking mad shit about him and throwing the usual nicknames out. Those haters were the Kobe die hards who couldn’t let go of the past and never gave lebron his respect. And Kobe is literally the reason I watch basket ball, but I’m not the type to hate any of our players I want them to succeed

See I haven’t ever been big on Reddit. But man I loved those tanking years we had personally. I remember hyping up lonzo and Ingram so damn much haha.

Now days I just follow the whole nba and find a team I like outside of the lakers to give myself a mental break from this shit

Yeah I agree. And our front office is garbage. But we effect how much superstars want to sign here in free agency and if we tear into every player who plays here we won’t get free agents. And lakers is mostly a free agent powerhouse

Yeah it’s a mix of his bandwagon fans and the fact we became contenders again tbh. When we contenders and underperform the lakers fans cause chaos

Man I wish we got kawhi those years back that man is a perfect fit for this fan base hahaha.

That’s spot on. And dude I’m so glad randle isn’t a laker tho. He puts up numbers but his impact on the floor is horrible and the knicks actually play better when he’s out. Good individual player tho lol.

And man I miss that dog shit end of the Kobe era. We had so much hope and our expectations weren’t thru the roof

God loves you
