Why LA will never love Lebron James
Why LA Will Never Love Lebron
I’ve lived in LA for 9yrs now and I feel like Angeleno (What people in LA call people born and raised here) and Lebron will never be an Angeleno. we love the Idea of LeBron James, We even love to talk about him to our friends about how “fucking cool” it is the have him here. LA’s love for sports seems like a real thing when you live outside of it. We have 2 baseball teams, 2 Hockey teams, 2 Basketball teams, 2 NFL teams, and 2 MLS teams. You would think we cant get enough of it. In all honesty we just don’t care.
Kobe earned the love that we have for him. Lebron has proven nothing to us, only that he’s will to sell the entire team to get 1 guy he wants to play with. In a way it feels like he acquired the team and now has all the power. Lebron’s thinks he’s bigger than LA, doing movies, Tv Shows, and drinking wine. He loves wine. The other night when he passed MJ to become the all time leader in points, Staples center didn’t really care. All we’ve seen him do is bitch and moan since he’s been here. Lebron has to earn our love and he’s not doing a great job of it.
