As a lifelong Laker fan, I had mixed emotions on Lebron to the Lakers. I like him as a player, he is excellent when on the floor, his stats are unquestionably very good. However, when not on the floor am not so thrilled with him. He tends to isolate himself - makes it feel like he is not "one of the guys" - bad for team chemistry. I do not like how he interacts with the coach - he is in I want control mode and a prima dona - again not good for team chemistry. I tell my son about the old Lakers with Magic/Jabbar etc. Everyone got along great, nobody bickered, everyone knew their place, everyone got along with coach, fans adored the entire team. Phenomenal overall team chemistry. Lebron has a lot to learn from the old Lakers - doubt he will ever learn - too bad. Too bad for him, too bad for the team, too bad for the fans. When he arrived I tried to give him benefit of doubt, but after this season and how he handles himself, not the biggest Lebron fan. But they are my team, so I root for them anyways. GO LAKERS !
