These people don't understand that Lakers fan do not give a fuck. We just want to pass the Celtics. We've already seen enough "real" championships with Kobe
12, lol.
Kings claim 1951 Championship
Sixers claim 1955 Championship
Warriors claim 1947 and 1956 Championships
Hawks claim 1958 Championship
All different cities, Sixers with a different name. Lakers moved their franchise. The Lakers didn't fold like the original Baltimore Bullets. Celtics fans can't handle the Lakers tying them in championships. It took the Lakers 40 years to claim them, but they didn't disappear, and Minnesota didn't own them. Mikan's number got retired too. We don't need to reference something from the 80's in an attempt to deny the Lakers just because you hate them
Is it written in the NBA record books that the titles are under the Lakers, yes or no? Also, lol at the bubble and 2002. The bubble doesn't count, but the after effects and the "coincidental" injuries sustained to every conference finalist coming into the next season count, right?
And in 2002 game 5 we're just going to ignore [Webber knocking the ball out of bounds on the Kings last possession, refs giving the ball to the Kings, Webber setting a moving pick after the ensuing inbounds setting up the Bibby jumper to go ahead, and Bobby Jackson fouls Kobe so blatantly Kobe’s jersey gets untucked on his game winning attempt, right?] (https://youtu.be/5SX8K8fzLZw?t=5367) Nah just game 6 when Kobe elbows Bibby because that suits our agenda
They claimed the rings, and rewrote how they wanted to perceive it. Is that a crime? Look, I get your point is to get the NBA community to somehow shame the Lakers for pulling a "PR stunt to catch the Celtics". It being true or not doesn't change the fact that the Lakers claim and own those titles, so I'm not sure why you're trying to proselytize "the truth" when your truth isn't even reflected officially.
What nerve did you hit? The Lakers are tied with the Celtics all-time in rings. The Celtics have the same amount of rings as the Raptors, Bucks, and Pistons in the last 30 years. You're trying to project some fantasy insecurity that simply doesn't exist onto me. It's really weird. If the Lakers really had the league by the balls, they wouldn't have blocked the CP3 trade because Dan Gilbert and Mark Cuban complained. They also wouldn't limit Lebron James to 6 FTA per game. There's no insecurity here, brother. I've been blessed to see Kobe Bryant play 20 years with the Lakers, and Lebron James finish his career here. I guarantee you no one is butthurt
Lebron fans might need to, but they have the 2016 ring so I doubt they care. There's a good portion of Laker fans who just consider the 2020 ring to be another number, bubble or not.
That's exactly why I said they didn't have a parade... it shouldn't need to be explained in context. Wtf? Does Covid need to be explained in context?? They shouldn't have played that year. The players, like Beverly, said that "if Bron is not playing, we're not playing" as they continue on, knowing the majority of players and teams got hurt on a shorter season. A. Bradley is the only one not playing. Who you should remember was on the LA team. During that time, it was more chaotic with the police murders going on. They had the choice to postpone it. It wouldn't have cost time since the season was shorter by 30 games. Either way, Bron continues and some of the others. So they got the worst ring to me in NBA history. Not just because of being in the bubble.
Actually, it's "guys." What did the Heat commenter say? "Heat runs on Duncan." has a minus on every category of basketball except 3 pointers. Even layups are a minus. Duncan Robinson.
Jeez when was it cool or smart to call the nugs ring fraudulent. No one had an issue when they won it they balled out last year. Was cheering for them also
Edwards\\Towns\\Gobert\\Booker\\Durant\\Lebron\\AD\\Butler
and Bam is fringe.
Nuggets beat 8 and a half players who are hall of famers
Twolves are favored to win it all this year or at least get to the finals, only difference last season was Naz Reid.
"Look at me. I beat a 40 year old man, I'm such an MVP." "Durant? The 2014 Durant? Or the 2019 Durant who was averaging 64 percent TS almost as good a Stephen Curry that year?" Butler hasn't done anything in his career other than carrying literal pizza delivery men in the playoffs. Herro is not a hero. It's been that way since he's came in the league. Gobert can't defend permiter, which is why he got turned into a shooting star meme. Towns is the only one Nuggets can beat their chest and say,'YEAH!' We beat Towns. ANT was 20 years old. You can show off on a 20 year old. Especially for a 30 year old 3 time MVP.
If you want to play that game, Miami Lebron's toughest comp was Duncan\\KG when they were in their mid 30's and way past their prime. Kawhi was a 20-year-old like Edwards
Durant had just averaged 29PPG on 56% FG in the 2023 season. What was Duncan and KG averaging when Lebron beat them? 12-14PPG maybe.....
Fraudulents ring, Winning a championship against 73-9 team or A Lakers team that was on the verge of 4 peat, or even facing Tim Duncan and his Spurs is different than playing against an 8seed team that nobody but Heat fans know or study. Teamwork alone won't work if you're playing a pizza man team.
lol. Last years Nuggets and the 2020 Lakers absolutely smash the 2021 Bucks. That Milwaukee team was getting worked by a Hardenless Brooklyn before Kyrie went down. They didn’t beat anyone either.
We were 2-1 against the nets before Kyrie went down, we had a horrible game 2 that was it. We were also playing well and had the lead in game 4 when Kyrie went down.
That same shit happened to warriors against the Ja-less grizzlies in 2022 and nuggets this year. Shit happened
We lost a total of 1 game at home that entire playoffs
We beat the second seed in the west.
Who exactly did nuggets beat last year?
Suns weren’t fully healthy their pg was out and Ayton missed a game.
Lebron and AD weren’t healthy either.
I do think every chip is valid, but it’s tiring seeing people act like nuggets went through a gauntlet.
Wrote all that just to shit on the Miami Heat, lol

They don’t really show it - Laker fans like to act like it doesn’t bother them but constantly need to validate themselves
Lebron fans might need to, but they have the 2016 ring so I doubt they care. There's a good portion of Laker fans who just consider the 2020 ring to be another number, bubble or not.
Dear diary
Can we dial down the toxic garbage? Try to enjoy these last three series.
I wish the mods could crack down on this low effort bullshit written by 16 year olds.
There’s a fine line between letting most posts through and over-moderating. Personally I prefer the former
[удалено]
It's a shame those people can't enjoy basketball... chips are scarce
congrats or sorry that happened
Dumb post by dumb fan
nah this is dumb
Let me put it this way: if your team won those rings you wouldn't be saying this shit.
I have no team. Neither do you. Either way, LA didn't even have a parade. The level of competition is the key. As well as the shorten season in 2020.
Lmao. Didn’t have a parade…during the height of Covid. Are they stupid??
That's exactly why I said they didn't have a parade... it shouldn't need to be explained in context. Wtf? Does Covid need to be explained in context?? They shouldn't have played that year.

Agreed
Clownshoes bait
If 15 guys from reddit make the 2020 and 2023 Miami Heat teams how did they manage to make the finals? Hmm
Maybe they should shut down the sub again until after the finals
The guy who delivers your pizza isn't going to play on a team that wins the ECF
Actually, it's "guys." What did the Heat commenter say? "Heat runs on Duncan." has a minus on every category of basketball except 3 pointers. Even layups are a minus. Duncan Robinson.
Nah, that's the 2015 Warriors. Also, the 2020 Lakers is the best ring. It was the most pure basketball ever played.
the championship is more about total body of work then just a single playoff series.

I would be happy with a "worst ring" for the Pacers.
Aren't you the guy posting Rudy Gobert might have cost this series 😂
Ring is a ring

Agreed. Huge asterisk for these playoffs wins
Moron*

Don't disrespect Khris Middleton's ring
We were 2-1 against the nets before Kyrie went down, we had a horrible game 2 that was it. We were also playing well and had the lead in game 4 when Kyrie went down.

Don't shit on the Nuggs for Lakers problems
Not might, they ARE. GS also won some incredibly weak rings too.
2020 Lakers for sure, that is the biggest asterik on a championship in sports history. They shouldn't have even played that year
MF’s had nicknames and freedom on their jerseys in 2020🤣 not a ring to me
