It’s an understatement at this point that the season for LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers did not go as planned. And as James, the Lakers and their fans come to terms with all of it, some people are saying things they might want to take back in a few years time. Unless of course, you’re L.A. Times sports columnist Bill Plaschke.

While it’s been the basis of many columns printed today that James’ accomplishments would be more appreciated had he stayed in Cleveland, Plaschke took things a step further during an appearance on Cleveland sports radio 92.3.

According to Plaschke, many L.A. sports fans also believe that James should still be in Cleveland, as the Lakers treated his moment like that of a visiting player rather than one of their own.

Now, mostly everything we have in terms of how Lakers or L.A. sports fans feel about LeBron is anecdotal evidence. But Plaschke certainly wasn’t alone in feeling a difference between LeBron’s accomplishment and the record-setting moments of Lakers past.

My college buddy Brian, a long-time Lakers fan, admitted during the game that it didn’t feel anything like Kobe Bryant setting a record when James did it last night. So what Plaschke is saying isn’t just your typical sports columnist hot-takery, even if it may prove to be wrong by the time James is done in L.A.

James’ accomplishment did feel weird and disconnected because it was disconnected from the moments that have built up his career narrative in a place that doesn’t feel the same sentimentality towards him. It’s no tragedy, but it certainly didn’t inspire the feelings it could have in Cleveland.

Only time will tell if this is a pivotal moment we will look back on as a moment that spurred the Lakers to greatness or if it’s the start of an accomplished, but less relevant chapter of LeBron’s career.
