Oh you know....he would turn our team into a bunch of "popular" players who are major douchebags with no loyalty. Probably a few head cases as well, and probably with a new garish logo too. I don't want that here in Portland.
No loyalty? He played for one team his entire career. How would he change peoples personalities? Nothing you said makes sense... MJ owns the Hornets....
And MJ is a terrible owner, so what's your point? I doubt Kobe would be much better. Are you telling me you REALLY want him as the owner of our team?
Yeha but the Hornets dont magically take on his personality. Thats my point. I never said Id want him as owner. I just dont understand the made-up anger over the idea that somehow all our players would magically turn into him without the skill.
Oh no, not OUR players......HIS players. The players he would bring in to replace probably everyone except Dame. I have confidence in OUR players. Not his.
Okay, you tell me why you think it is that nobody wants him as our team's owner. Because he's a Laker? Please tell me you're thought process goes deeper than that.
It's pretty much a documented fact that any Portlander (and/or ardent follower/fan of the Blazers) has a built-in hate gene as it relates to ANYTHING LA Lakers. Actually, we were all born with it. I'm thinking this goes back to the 4-0 sweep of KA-J & Co. in the 1977 WCF.
You have no basis deeper than that for saying he'd turn us into "LA Lite" with a new logo and a bunch of popular douchbags who have no loyalty.
You didn't answer my question. Bones, this sounds like you just want to argue about something by just stomping your foot, lol. What gives? I mean, really? I need a "basis" for giving an opinion on this topic? Jesus, look at the history of LA over the past decade or two, and then tell me why I shouldn't assume this. Because that is EXACTLY the type of team that they have been: a bunch of popular douchebags with no loyalty and shitty attitudes; who only want to hang out in LA for the money and the celebrity. So tell me why I'm wrong. And tell me why you think it is that nobody wants him as our team's owner.
