Kobe Bryant is still the King of Los Angeles - LeBron's Arrival cannot change it

#1 Legendary Performances

Lakers will never a player who would dedicate his life to the organization. Night after night Kobe Bryant would go to work and give his 100% to try and win every single game and entertained not just the LakersNation but all the NBA fans.

~ Every team in the NBA has endured the wrath of the Black Mamba. he has dropped at least 40 points on all the NBA teams.

~ Toronto Raptors was the victim of Kobe Bryant's 81 point game (Second highest points in a game)

~ Mamba Mentality - Kobe Bryant has hit 40 game winning shots to seal the win for Lakers.

~ Kobe Bryant alone outscored the Mavericks 62-61 through three quarters. He did not even play the 4th Quarter.

~ Playing through multiple injuries only because his team needed him.

With the arrival of LeBron James, Lakers are back as title contenders But will his presence threaten Kobe's legacy as a Laker? absolutely not! It's time that we do not become prisoners of the present and disrespect Kobe's 20 years of loyal services to the Lakers. LeBron will play the 16th, 17th, 18th and possibly the 19th season of his career. With only 4 seasons with the franchise, I doubt whether the Lakers will even retire his jersey at the end of his campaign. He needs to win at least 1 championship to establish himself as a great Laker. He may end up winning 2, but he will still be nowhere close to Kobe Bryant's legacy as a Lakers Legend. Kobe Bean Bryant continues to be the King of LA.
