The bubble was the easiest chip alive. No crowd and some players didnt play at that time. MJ is the real goat. Stay mad mad.

“Everyone?”
“Daryl Morley is a liar,..”
James Harden, before many people.
“I would never trade you to somewhere you don’t wanna go..”
Morley, to Chris Paul.🤥
“We built this team to specifically beat the Warriors.”
Morley’s exhalation was motivation for the Warriors to beat the Morley led Rockets.
“The only thing more fraudulent than that bubble chip is Daryl Morley.”
Rob Parker
Contrariwise, “That was the hardest Championship to win, in my opinion..”
Bam Abayo, Miami Heat Center
“I’ve never seen a team operate the way that 2020 team did.
That Lakers team, bro, we went everywhere together…That’s how we knew we we’re gonna win.”
Dwight Howard and DeMarcus Cousins
Also, a noteworthy side point.
The 2020 Lakers were 57-0 when leading after 3 quarters.
Let’s not forget, the constraints that came with the pandemic. The Lakers voted (not) to come back!

If it was any other team and any other player it would’ve been legit and we wouldn’t even be talking about it anymore. The Lakers were the 24-3 and the best team all year. They were gonna win it all regardless. Shut up Daryl 😂

Everyone hating on the bubble championship ONLY because Bron won it. If Steph, KD, Joker, or anyone else no one would be throwing shade.

The rest of the league n the fans need to take a seat … if anything it was the hardest championship. Wasn’t any advantages. No home court. Just head up one team against the next. Real basketball. Who’s better. None of that momentum calls or crowd persuasion. Just let’s hoop n see who’s better. I loved it.

It’s counts. Everyone agreed to play. If they didn’t want to, they could’ve stayed home. And take all the penalties and fees.

Wrong. They gave us nothing. Worst NBA finals ratings ever and that was with everyone sitting at home with nothing to do, they still didn’t watch. 😂
The league suspended the season for months. With no return date in sight. Then all of a sudden had an NBa fantasy camp at Disneyland that fans weren’t allowed to attend? It was closer to an All Star Weekend that it was an NBA Finals.
@jaydot4956

The ratings were low because of the backlash for the NBA political stance, that doesn’t mean the games weren’t good.
