How are you so sure it's a Kobe fan? Maybe its just a Lakers hater/fan of another team who did this. A lot of other teams are pissed that we got Lebron, and to be honest, have always hated us beforehand anyway. I'm sure they would be thrilled that other Lakers fans are getting the blame for something they did.
Yeah, I'm sure it was a Grizzlies fan.
You know what, you might be right. It's an old school Vancouver Grizzlies fan who lives in LA but was raised in Vancouver, and is clearly distraught that the Lakers, and not the Grizzlies, signed LeBron, so he's taking his anger out on the mural. You know I'm also presuming the perps gender, it could very well be a she...or a ze...or a they...that would be a twist. I'm mind blown, it makes complete sense. _________________ I miss you Kobe.

Or perhaps it was a Suns fan who still couldn't get over that 2010 loss in the WCF. Poor lady was harboring resentment for all these years. She had a glimmer of hope that LeBron might at least take a meeting and let their FO pitch him on the possibility of being the greatest Sun ever and delivering a title to the city of Phoenix. It was heartbreaking enough to hear that he didn't even return their calls, but seeing the mural was definitely her breaking point. She’d had enough. _________________ “Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God.

Makes sense, but the more I think about it, it is probably a Jazz fan....who never forgot Kobe's infamous airball, but respected him in the latter stages of his career during Utah's Williams/Boozer era when Bryant would torch them in the post season year after year on route to our 2 straight titles. This Jazz fan figured, Kobe is gone and the Jazz can be great again, but now the Lakers have signed the diabolic King James, and that respect they once had for Kobe's constant beatdowns led to them vandalizing the mural of LeBron. They're also still in denial about D-Fishes departure, the all-time great Jazz superstar, and concluded that Fisher leaving Utah to the Lakers was equivalent to LBJ leaving Cleveland to the Lakers, and understands the pain that Cavs have are enduring right now based on them losing their potential all-star point guard to the purple and gold. This Jazz fan also carries a micro-fiber cloth with them everywhere they go as they can't stand when their Huawei Nexus 6p cell phone gets fingerprints all over the screen, and also has a cat named Doris. They just couldn't take it anymore, and vandalized the mural. _________________ I miss you Kobe. I miss you Gigi.

I was thinking the same thing. It's funny that everyone is just assuming it's Kobe fans.

Only Lebron was defaced. No Laker statue or any other Lakers art has been vandalized.

So why all of a sudden would this be the time for a fan of one of those teams to resort to something as extreme as this? I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's incredibly farfetched. The level of animosity that so many Lakers/Kobe fans have had towards LeBron for all these years rivals the animosity that any Celtics fan has towards the Lakers, but I still don't think a Celtics fan was behind it. _________________ “Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God.

They better hope he doesn't lead the Lakers to two titles, because if he does, that 23 jersey will be hanging up right up there in Staples with all the Laker greats. Good luck vandalizing that one. _________________ “Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God.

So. Do you guys think LeBron is actually down to play center in stretches?
How often did he do stuff like that in Cleveland?
He won’t want to hang with true 7 footers but any team playing small ball, I’m sure LeBron would do it... outside of GS and maybe Boston, we have the best defensive small ball line up with Rondo/Lonzo-KCP/Hart-BI-Kuzma-LeBron

Not sure why this “must be a Kobe fan” crap continues. He or she is not.
Even if the a-hole defacing the mural somehow uses that as an excuse it does not justify or explain. They likely have a long history of tagging, defacing or vandalizing. This is just the latest.
This is not about Kobe/ James. Let’s stop trying to make seem that way.
Just remember this “outrage” you feel about this the next time you see someone vandalizing your neighborhood or the city streets with your favorite political or social statement and somehow justify or minimize the reasons for them doing so. All the same, just disrespect.

Pretty obvious who we are dealing with here.
Lebron haters?
Aka Kobe Stan’s who are worried Lebron is going to come here, win a title or two and possibly retire as the GOAT in a Lakers uniform all while Kobe is still around.
I believe those keep vandalizing LeBron’s mural at this point are just attention seeking criminals. The first one might’ve been the work of an idiotic Kobe homer, but the current ones are just copycats who like to have their work publicized by media.

Lebron can play 36 MPG in his sleep. His stamina reminds me of Wilt in many ways. Nobody is going to tell Lebron how many minutes he should play. He calls the shots. And like I said he has never played less than 36 MPG a game in his career.
There's a first time for everthing. If we want good value for the next 4 years, best we start taking care of our asset...still feels weird thinking of LeBron that way
Cap played 32-33 mpg his 16th-18th seasons. Mailman played 36+ those seasons. I think Lebron is fine at 35-36 mpg, especially if his playmaking load is lightened by Zo and Rondo. _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."

DMV in Cleveland tapes a photo of LeBron to their camera to stop people smiling
A trip to the DMV is never at the top of anyone’s list of ways to spend an afternoon. Still, it’s a necessary evil of adult life.
The DMV is a place for rules, one of the most common ones is that you are not allowed to smile in your picture for your driver’s license. In Cleveland, the DMV there has decided to make a small alteration to their camera setup to ensure that citizens follow this rule.
Specifically, they taped a photo of LeBron James in a Los Angeles Lakers jersey to the camera that takes the driver’s license photos.

You're not supposed to smile in your driver's license photo ... so one Cleveland DMV attached this to the camera.

At least for this year, putting a photo of LeBron on a camera at the DMV in the Cleveland should keep straight faces on people getting their photo taken. However, seeing as the Cavaliers probably won’t be very good moving forward, it might be just as easy to tape a photo of the team logo up there.
It appears that everyone is upset about Lebron leaving for the LA.
