Kobe Bryant on Lakers' die-hard fans that may have an issue with LeBron: They will "fall in line"

"I have been a Lakers fan since I was yay high. That is never going to change. Right? [It] is about winning championships. So they'll fall in line."

Kobe Bryant talked about the criticism from some Lakers fans for the signing of LeBron James in Los Angeles.

Per ESPN, Bryant says if those people are fans of his, they will "fall in line."
"I hear that," Bryant said when asked on "The Rich Eisen Show" whether he is aware that some of his fans have an issue with James being a part of the Lakers family. "But listen, if you are fan of mine, you are a fan of winning, you are a fan of the Lakers. I bleed purple and gold. So that is above anything else.

"I have been a Lakers fan since I was yay high. That is never going to change. Right? [It] is about winning championships. So they'll fall in line."

"I don't know, making the comparison of him being viewed in the similar vein as me, that doesn't make much sense," Bryant told Eisen. "I think the goal is always to win championships. No matter where you go, that is the goal. And that is his goal, that is Rob's [Pelinka] goal, that is Magic's [Johnson] goal, Jeanie's [Buss] goal, [Rajon] Rondo, all the guys, [Kyle] Kuzma, Lonzo [Ball], they all want to win championships. That is what they are gunning for.

"This is why we play, this is why we are here, is to win championships," Bryant later added. "He wouldn't have come here if he didn't expect to win championships."
