NBA Rant: Fall of the House of Mamba

Watching my LAkers continue to fail, year after year, during this LeBron era is f*cking excruciating. I love my squad. I have since I was probably fifteen years old, going back even further to the late Eighties when I realized Magic Johnson was my all-time favorite player. I’ve been spoiled, much like San Antonio, to have generational talent on my team for literal decades. I came of age right around when Kobe matured into who he was meant to be. Kobe, rest in peace, has claimed that rarefied air where only the like of Jordan once stood. I don’t mean in the sense of greatness, no one is catching the GOIAT, but I mean in terms of relevancy to the game. I mean in terms of legacy among hoopers. I mean in terms of worth to the culture. When you shoot that lump of paper into the bin, who’s name are you shouting as it thunks on the bottom? When Mamba and Mambacita passed, the world stopped. We all mourned. That loss hit home and it effected everyone. Kobe was more than a hooper, star, or celebrity. He was Kobe Bean Bryant and history will take notice. He is the greatest Laker to ever don the purple and gold (Magic will tell you that, himself) and arguably the second best to ever step on a basketball court (Most professional hoopers will tell you that, too.) Watching Kobe play was an experience. Once he was gone, once he finally hung it up after dropping sixty in his farewell game, we missed him. It was surreal to have an NBA with Bryant, a Staples with no Mamba Mentality. There as a vacuum and f*cking LeBron James saw an opportunity. He bailed on Cleveland for a second time and sidled his way out West, trying to claim the empty throne Kobe left. LeBron saw the Farewell Tour. He saw how much LA was hurt after Kobe left. He wanted to be that for LA, too. He wanted that same love. I think it was matter of security over his legacy. In his mind, Jordan was the ghost he was chasing and then Kobe passed. You can chase accolades and build a *weak* case for being the GOAT but there was no way he’d ever be loved like Mamba. None. And he needed that. So he came to LA and tried to take that. It has gone poorly.

I wouldn’t consider myself a LeBron hater, not anymore anyway. I used to be, mostly because of his audacity to even consider himself the Goat. James is my age. My entire generation grew up idolizing Michael Jordan. We all wanted to be like Mike, even if we had different favorite players. Michael Jordan was it. He touched the culture in ways no one else could, not until Kobe reached his final form during those Redeem Team Olympic games. We saw how big of an international star, Kobe was. We saw, firsthand, the fervor he got from China, Spain, and the rest of the Olympic hopefuls. Awash in the greatest athletes of their generations, Kobe Bryant was a star. LeBron trying to claim he was as big as Jordan, as Kobe, and couldn’t even shoot a consistent three or post up with all of that strength, left a foul taste in my mouth. Jordan’s mid-range game is unassailable. Kobe’s bag was deeper than deep. LeBron is just uber stupid athletic. A Slasher’s Slasher in an era where Slashing got you forty free throw attempts a game. LeBron James was a product of his era, not necessarily organically  great. Physically gifted, for sure, but was he a complete basketball player? Is he complete, now, after two decades in the league? Is his bag as deep as Kobe’s? Empericle evidence would suggest not. LeBron James’ time in LA has been an abject failure. Obviously, I didn’t expect much when LeBron came over. I saw it more as bait to woo in Anthony Davis. LA has a history of legendary Bigs and Davis has that potential. We gave up a ton to make that trade happen, but were able top corral a solid team together, right before COVID locked the league up. We got the NBA Bubble in return and LA showed out. That team was fantastic. It was well balanced and performed exceptionally well together. We won an Asterisk but Bron celebrated like it was legit. He has two of those, actually. Kobe doesn’t. Neither does Jordan. Eventually, LeBron gonna LeBron and got Coach Vogel fired off some WWestbrick nonsense and has been torpedoing the team ever since. Mans doesn’t play defense. He takes ridiculously bad shots at the worst goddamn time. He’s faked injuries in a petulant tantrum and even threatened to retire after an embarrassing exit from the WCF last year. We got years of mediocrity and one questionable title out of James’ time in LA. Straight trash.

No one stands up to this dude. I mean, Pelinka does when he can. Last year’s run was because Rob stood firm at the trade deadline, much to James’ chagrin. He was pushing hard to have LA trade for Kyrie but that didn’t happen and LA made a run that ended in Denver well into the postseason. Now James is threatening to retire, again, if LA doesn’t draft his bust of a son, Bronny. Look, it’s not fair to call the kid a bust but, I mean, that’s what he is. Dude will make the NBA as straight up nepotism, something Kobe would never do for Gianna. If she was going to be great, and she would have been, she was going to do so on the merit of her game, not the celebrity of her name. For sure, should could walk onto the USC hoop team, no problem, but one could argue any collegiate program would allow Mambacita that option. I bet she wasn’t about to average seven points in her freshman season, though. I be she would be in the gym at 3 am, just like her pops, because she’s her father’s daughter. She’s the one who got him back into the gym after retirement. She’s the one who got him back on those LA sidelines. Her love for the game reignited the passion Kobe lost after he walked away from the game. That’s beautiful. Bronny stonking up the joint just so Jeanie can placate Bron into staying just to sell tickets, is not. This season was a disaster. Darvin Ham was a terrible f*cking coach. We actually hung an In-Season Tournament Banner, like that’s a thing. Everything ion the court was inconsistent as f*ck and it’s glaringly clear that James is taking away from the development of his team mates. Sure, he gets points and makes his stats, but they are inconsequential numbers. Who gives a f*ck about milestones if they come with an L? So what LeBron has the most points, ever, in NBA history. Mans has played for two decades. So what he’s played in the most Playoff games ever. Mans has played in the league for two decades. His personal stats mean nothing if they come at the cost of team success but, you know, he the GOAT, tho. A GOAT who has had every single coach he’s ever had, save one, fired. A GOAT that has lost more championships than he’s won. A GOAT who, when down three-to-one in the Playoffs, got on TV and said, out loud, with his whole chest that if he’s eliminated (which they would do in the very next game), that it doesn’t matter because “It’s just basketball.” That statement right there, is why I’m so goddamn disappointed. “It’s just basketball.”

Mamba would never.
