Sure, I'll watch him on opening night, but only because he's playing against the Blazers.

Otherwise, meh. I've already seen LeBron at his best, and don't get me wrong, the way he led that dysfunctional team in CLE to the finals last year was classic LeBron.

But that was in the East with a veteran, playoff tested team around him. Now with the Lakers, he is surrounded by a bunch of over the hill cast offs and young kids who have no idea how to win in the NBA.

That’s what makes this so cool. He isn’t joining a dynasty already like KD or going to play with his friends like Melo in Houston. This time he chose a destination rather than a team. I think he wanted a challenge and he’s going to get it for sure.

I think what makes it so cool for you is also that he went to the Lakers! Not saying that takes away all your other reasons out, but say he went to Charlotte or something, would be saying that?
I respect Lebron, and I respect his decision to go to LA he doesn’t have much in basketball left to prove, I just think he mainly went there because of the destination (not because of basketball).

2 things, YES I would be just as excited if he went to Charlotte. I am a fan of the NBA game itself. I am one of the few on here that records and watches other teams Vegas summer league games. Or a Hawks vs Nets preseason game. I probably record 5 or 6 games a night during the season and jam through them. I was surprised how many on here only watch Blazer games.
Secondly, i know you don’t know this because you are new to our neighborhood, but I’m NOT a Laker fan. It’s a long running joke. All my family is from SoCal, I have Mexican blood in me and have worked for them in the past. 3 things that I believe became a running joke around here and it turned The HCP into a Laker fan. Shit, I even got a Blazers tattoo 15 years ago

Lol I legit thought you were a laker fan. /shame.

I watch Blazer games and if there off I will watch other teams. I always read up and pay attention to other teams though.
I said earlier I am interested to see how he does at least slightly.

I definitely consume a lot of basketball but probably not as much as you.

The thing about Lebron to LA is I think he’s at the point in life and his career basketball is kind of secondary. I think he’s basically fine if they’re good, fine if they aren’t. I’m not sure how driven he will be to carry them, which does kind of dampen my expectations for the LBJ in LA thing.

Looks more like you're a fan of nepotism, which actually sounds like a Los Angeles thing to do.

Sir I know what nepotism means, but please explain how it applies to my picture. Thank you.

I'm implying that the NEP of your tattoo stands for nepotism.

It's not brain science.

@TorturedBlazerFan don't let HCP fool you.
This is a sticker from when he lost a bet Lillard's on first game of his career.

I'll find the thread tomorrow.

lol. Well the only reason I took the Laker thing seriously is he literally replied to one of my posts with this, “Im a laker fan”. The internets a confusing place heh.

he can cheer for whoever he wants lol.

You’re trying to tell me that you aren’t at all interested in seeing Bron play for the Lakers. I’m excited to see him battle it out with all these power teams in the West. They are nowhere near challenging the top teams, but I’m still pumped. Opening night is going to be a blast!

Ok, I may need to reconsider...

I just realized, these are the veteran players Magic has brought in to help LeBron teach the LAL youngsters how to win:

JaVale McGee
Lance Stephenson
Rajon Rondo
Micheal Beasley

I'm not really into reality TV, but throw Lavar Ball into that mix and I might tune in just to see who gets voted off the island.

I still love Westbrook, but he loses some points with me on this whole debacle.
