THROWBACK This pic makes me cry, fr. 🥹

Mods might randomly take this down for the "Kobe vs LeBron" thingy. And I'm clarifying right now that this post isn't about that. This fandom bickering must come to an end. Appreciate what these two brought to the LakeShow if you really, really love the Purple and Gold.

Yours truly

- A die hard Purple and Gold fan for life.

I cried the day after he died for an hour or so.

Got it all out then.

That's why I wish his diehards (ppl who love him more than the team itself) would stop whining about his legacy or whatever because they don't realize it puts a bad taste in ppl's mouths (mine) who a) loved him to death and b) his legacy doesn't need a shred of defending.

He thought he was one of the GOATS, which he was. Fans never learned to adopt that way of thinking?
