lebron over kobe

i wouldn't call myself a lebron fan at all. but during the playoffs, i reallllly wanted him to win the title. and during the finals, i decided that i want him to win the next 6 titles.

i obviously want the warriors to win a championship, that would be unreal. (who would have thought. maybe that russell Warriors-win-a-title-in-the next 8 years bet comes into play?) but if the warriors don't win for the next 6 years, i want lebron to win all of the titles (i think i'm the minority, but i'm not sure). i really do, and i think i know why

1. lebron saved our sportsbook account. i think we finally figured it out. all you do is  bet lebron to win a playoff series. bet it, cash it.

2. i think i heard this on a podcast.  WE like to see really amazing things, unbelievable things. you want to be able to tell your kids that you saw Lebron James in his prime, a once in a generation player, maybe the greatest of all time?  you want to tell your kids that you saw lebron win 6 championships in 8 years. you want to tell your kids that the 2013 nba finals was amazeballs. you want to tell them about ray allen's game 6 game-tying shot which forced overtime, and eventually to a game7. (if my son and i talk about the 2013 nba finals and he asks me "what was the spread for game 7?"----i might cry. happy tears)

3. like i said, i don't pretend to be a super lebron fan/groupie/defender. buuuut, i just find it annoying when people hate on lebron.  i love lebron, he's amazing. here's what i really think......................

Let's say there are 2 types of nba fans. 2 types, serious fans and casual fans. i consider a serious fan as someone who plays fantasy basketball (for $), who considered game6 and 7 of the nbafinals as must-SEE, who gets excited for things like the Nbadraft or the Trade Deadline. you know the type...every other nbafan is casual.

I think CASUAL fans love kobe. they love him because they watch EsPN, and they see his game-winning shots, they see that he has been a Laker his whole career and SEEMS loyal, they like his shoes/commercials, they hear ESPN call him a fierce competitor. on the flip side, i think casual fans hate lebron because they hear all the stories about how he isn't "clutch" or "afraid" of the big game. they hear espn people say how classless "the decision" was. they hear stories about him being a "traitor". they don't like that he joined D-wade and bosh

i feel like SERIOUS fans understand how crazy good Lebron is, not just good, amazinggg. i feel like they understand that kobe is a bit overrated (still great, but overrated)
i feel like casual fans love kobe and hate on lebron. therefore, i feel like mosttt casual fans were rooting for the spurs, and mostttt seroius fans were rooting for miami.

so in the playoffs and in the next several  years, i hope lebron wins everythingggg
