    The pandemic was unnecessary.

    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.

    He said he thinks it’s legit but everyone else agrees it’s an asterisk

    LeBrons accomplishments is media relevancy fr even if they discredit lebron most of the time 😅 for doing the things that never been done before

    Lmfao Daryl Morey is about 5 months away from being fired for the 2nd time since the Lakers bubble title. Sybau.

    “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!

    It’s all about giving us a show and great time while the whole world was in a bubble.

    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 😂

    Stephen A is lying out his team

    Lakers fans need a real one and it won’t happen for 10 years

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

  16. @chillichillp30

    July 31, 2025 at 10:24 pm

    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.

    People are just making excuses for why the Lakers won

    Molly shut up..smh

  20. @JamarRoby

    July 31, 2025 at 10:45 pm

    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.

  21. @WaqaChong-sf7hy

    July 31, 2025 at 10:48 pm

    It’s was ok fake championship

  22. @MaturanRoderickAragon

    July 31, 2025 at 11:08 pm

    Just pure hate! If not Lakers and lebron were not champs in the bubble. Then it’s a different story.😂

    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

      July 31, 2025 at 11:29 pm

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