We knew this. Bron literally picked us after 5 years of being ass. Won us a chip & took us to a WCF. Definitely grateful after dealing with Sacre, Wesley Johnson, Kendal Marshall & Luol Deng’s corpse. Thank you Bron 🫡

Ofc his would get retired.
He made the Lakers relevant again after a decade of sucking. Thats one he’ll of an accomplishment

People saying “he shouldn’t be retired as a laker “
LEBRON won them a chip, without him they would be ass since 2013
He took them deep in the playoffs a few times.
And he broke Kareem’s record on their home floor
Also it’s LEBRON James the best or 2nd best player of all time, that’s played there for 5 going on for 6 years
I think it’s okay to retire it as a laker

Then he asked her about ADs jersey and she said ‘who? I’m late for a meeting’ and sprinted out of the room.

every finals mvp should have jersey retired

Not trying to hate but I feel like this is just premature. Lebron put in work ofc but to retire his jersey after 5 good years and 1 championship just seems like a reach

Guys this isn’t remotely controversial. There’s a bunch of players in NBA history who have had their jerseys retired by multiple teams. And more who would if they wanted it (like KG, who openly hates Minnesota).
Generally speaking, a few years and a ring will get you retired. KG on the Celtics, Shaq on the Heat, Wilt on the Lakers, Drexler on the Rockets…

Bold take that one of the best ever who won your franchise a title will get (one of) his number(s) retired.
We’ve entered cold take season.

Some of the comments here are weird lol. Some dudes really saying the standards have been lowered for a Bron jersey retirement when Wilt got his retired decades ago with basically the same years played and accolades. The standard never changed lmao

😳Realllly?…very undeserved.
The Bron era Lakers has been weak af.

He still doesn’t feel like a real Laker. Just feels like a guy who happens to be wearing that jersey.
dumbhousequestions
Jeanie Buss has consistently run this team like a museum that technically continues to play NBA basketball, so this checks out.
incredibleamadeuscho
Laker fans claiming that he needs to win two championships need stop being so spoiled. Your inflated expectations as a fan don’t matter.

Personally I don’t think they should but he’s too great a player and did accomplish enough here that i understand it.

P fucking U. Lakers are little attention whores. Nobody gonna remember the mickey mouse ring, and everyone will remember Bron as a Cav. LA is such trash my god, shameless.

Suck it Derek Fisher!

Bron’s gonna join Wilt as the only players to have their jerseys retired by 3 teams
