Here's What Winning The 2020 NBA Title Would Mean For Each Contender: Who Needs It The Most? 

Dom2k nah im good

Dom2k what beats do you use in your videos they are so chill, would be awesome if you replied

THANKS i could use that

Keep setting Lakers as the underdogs lmao clippers vs bucks for finals niggas drunk af keep doubting lebron will see what happens when lebron👑going to the finals 💯

I think the Marvs will wreak havoc in the Playoffs.

Infinity Mixtapes that’s facts

Won't happen, D'Antoni style of basketball is not that of champions

Did the 2015 jump shooting warriors fuck up your understanding of basketball? Anything is possible but I find it hard to believe that Houston would win especially if they run into the clippers

@@Clips_36 bro you can't compare that warriors to the Rockets, Curry and Klay are 10 times better shooters and defenders compared to Westbrook and Harden, don't even get me started on having two of the best defenders in the league back then in Draymond and Iggy

Infinity Mixtapes nice pfp bro

Building his GOAT resume.

This time he'd actually be contributing consistently

Bill Russell type stuff 😂

GOAT 🐐

@@controversialmann5345 he did contribute with the warriors (As a warriors fan).

Raptors fan but naaaah, but fr hed be on track to GOAT status

He already won a chip with the raptors

Mental Mind ya but without Kawhi, against The Clippers,Lakers and getting passed the bucks

Based on his stats and creative ways yes but all time is a measure usually saved for people long into their careers... nurse is like year two... lol

He is the ultimate weapon of the raptors

Yeah that's why we love the NBA :)

Yeah, the past few seasons were honestly just Warriors (maybe Rockets?) vs Some Poor East Team.

Jehan except the raptors and cavs (in 2016)

Aye Sir Z Gaming i see you in imaverq comments

JusChillen true. John Wall vs Kyrie discussion on who the best PG in the East, featuring Kemba Walker and Trae Young

The GoatGRP he plays on the worst team in the east cmon bruh

The GoatGRP you can’t be the best pg in your conference if you’re not winning games

The GoatGRP bruh I didn’t say it was the ONLY factor but dudes never been the playoffs lmao you can’t call him the best in the east, when players like lowry and kyrie and champions. even Simmons is better

The GoatGRP people are idiots. They think wins should also determine who’s an the best. The fact Beal averages 30.1 ppg and isn’t an all star disgusts me.

Abdu Ugas nah Jazz Heat finals 🔒

Fraser bucks clippers tbh

Fraser Roch Heat aren’t good enough but they’re getting there and Jazz won’t beat lakers, clippers or rockets.

Come again? Those are two big markets. Houston is the 4th biggest city in terms of population in the USA and Toronto has a larger population than Chicago.

Na guys Lebron will go hardcore and dominate in the playoffs and go up against the bucks

Caleb Arias 😂😂😂😂

With the difference of him specifically targeting (after that all-time best 2014 Spurs team, only after the Warriors superteams in the list) rich, deep and complete teams (this second time, a Clippers stacked favourite team that he formed by riding them with PG) unlike a Robin with actual needing, underdogs, poor and lacking of pieces teams like the Lakers in shambles of 2018.

@@dusk6159 the spurs weren't a Superteam They Are just a Really Really Good Team

Caleb Arias lol u mean lucky ?

@@dusk6159 the Spurs weren't a Superteam they were just really good the Heat were a Superteam and the Raptors were the Underdog they were the least favourite out of the East Superteams due to their history of Choking and a Team that has 2 top 5 players definitely isn't an Underdog

Luka, jokic , siakam, Mitchell? What? Calm down kiddo

kabagema yannick I know you don’t read. He said “hall of fame status or dramatic change all time”. Luka, Jokic, siakam and Mitchell do get huge career boosts if they play very well during this years playoffs.

ColonelZeta just this year, huh? It's that easy I guess.

kabagema yannick well if you put it in perspective it makes sense. Your reply makes it seem as if you’re skeptical or don’t comprehend. If Luka balls out in the playoffs as a second year player coming off of an all star start it boosts his narrative as a 21 year old upcoming superstar. Jokic at this point in his career just has to keep showing us why he’s a such a versatile dynamic center. The nuggets most likely wont be making a deep playoff run but Jokic is nice. Siakam has a ring and a MIP award. So being the best player on a team that just won a championship the season prior shows he’s ready to accept being a number one option. Mitchell is fresh off of his first all star appearance and a good playoff performances from him will show us he’s ready to be put among one of the elite players in the league and into the top shooting guards conversation

And Chris paul

I mean KD can't say he did it without a 73-9 team

I can't believe Billy Donovan is still coaching at OKC.

Samuel Contreras If they don’t they better try and recruit him

@@Tofuey well that team was meant to be Anti Lebron

@@Tofuey they finally showed you that they were not that great by losing,nobody says it tough 73-9 or even 80-2 *and still lose finals means you are losers, period... OKC was on a cloud and Warriors were not stars back then

It would definitely be necessary

Giannis still 25 and have yet to reach his full potential. I believe LeBron have more pressure this year. Personally I hope the laker win so Howard would get his ring and also for LeBron to say 'this is for you kobe'.

Lucifer Morningstar absolutely!

Tbh i dont wanna debate about the goat convo because of what happen to Kobe im just going to leave it at there amazing players

Izzy agreed 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Izzy I agree. Since Kobe’s passing, the basketball community hasn’t fought about who’s the GOAT as much.

Jerry west resume is not too far off from lebrons. Let’s just see if he gets the fourth one, he’s had some terrible performances in his finals losses.

It doesn’t do much for Bron. If LeBron wins one more chip thought he’ll be tied with Kareem for second greatest of all time and anything he does from there on out will solidify him as being the second greatest of all time. Right now it’s MJ Kareem LeBron

Now it's the lakers and heat

Injuries demolished them

We all knew KD and boogie were gone and that Dlo was likely to be traded

@@kdslfjkdnslkdvnlksnvlk we didn't know that last year midway.

@@abduugas lol I know that im just talking in general

Lmao

If the Raptors beat the Clippers in the finals it would be the greatest NBA story of all time.

@Jack park Spoken with true ignorance man. Basketball is the most popular sport in this country now (a sport that Canadians invented btw) and the NBA finals last year were the highest rated TV broadcast in Canadian history. It's a team of underdogs that has constantly been overlooked by the ignorant American media, a team that was even overlooked throughout all last season with Kawhi. If the Raptors won the chip this year, there is no doubt it would be one of the craziest NBA stories of all time. What happened when Lebron left the Cavs? Or this year now that the Warriors don't have Steph or Klay? The Raptors are the hardest working team in the NBA, they lost their Finals MVP and they are 2nd in the East and 3rd in the league, if they win its the greatest NBA story no question about it.

Jack park I said it was invented by Canadians “James Naismith, a Canadian who moved to the United States, invented basketball in Springfield, Massachusetts in the 1890s” and the Raptors have been around since ‘95, VC was drafted in ‘98 so your point makes no sense. I’d like to know what team you root for.

@Jack park The Raptors are one of the biggest franchies in the NBA. They also have an entire country as their fan base. So what are you babbling on about?

@Jack park say the stick to hockey chirp one more time holy. They are literally just saying facts and you are too ignorant to accept them. Being that they are the only Canadian team, they clearly have the entire country rooting for them

Im a big fan of Doncic but i think Giannis would be unanimous, but people would be bias to Lebron or Donic

@@MCBabyFace so that makes giannis not unanimous

@@MCBabyFace no curry evolved the game in 2016 and thats mostly why he was unanimous. the year lebron had one of the greatest seasons of all time in 2013, he wasnt.

Doncics numbers have gone down since his injury. The Mavs are still only a 6-7 seed. I don’t see it. LeBron or Giannis and it won’t be unanimous.

Curry Had an Unreal Year in 2016 he basically evolved the Game he had 30 points on 50/40/90 won 73 games this was pretty much the Best MVP Season of the Decade but yeah this year Giannis won't win Unanimous (even though nobody will give Luka a vote the Kid os good but you can't make an Argument for him having a better Season than LeBron or Giannis Harden Might get one though)

He said he was going to limit it to the five teams for whom a championship would mean "the most" but then goes on to talk mostly about what it would mean for individual players. I don't think that's totally off base, but to exclude the one team that has never even *been* to the finals from his analysis does seem a little off-base.

NJH booop who’s better heat? Or the heat?

Ya bro he didn’t talk about the heat either

I mean the Nuggets first championship is definitely high stakes.

Hope2BeDope Entertainment I see what you did there 😂

He said the championship would MEAN the most to the 5 mentioned franchises, but he put the Celtics and the Nuggets in the same tier-group as the Raps and Rockets, not sleeping on them.

this is a terrible list

Jeramyah Shepard serious as can be

JATSR nah

It would be cool but it won't happen. They're a great young team, but their lack of rim protectors is really gonna hurt them against the Bucks.

LmaoGucci Celtics can beat the Bucks come playoff time imo. The Celtics have a great defense and are great at the wing position. Plus Giannis can be contained

Matthew Peters only comment I seen about the nuggets

Nuggets are a good team like there in the middle of the l.a battle lol that’s savage

oh my...

Darude Sandstorm

@@vaug7n I wish I could be as funny as you

Nicolas Muniz fr why is that even a joke still

Strategic space- Un deux trois

I’m wrong but 2006 ass niggas think they funny

Giannis is on his way...no way lebron beat bucks....They have to pass rockets and clippers too....He tooo old to carry...

ImWatchingYew 1st off Bron doesn’t have to carry he has AD this is not 2018. 2nd the lakers will probably only have to beat 1 of them not both. If the lakers get out the west they will not lose in finals

Bron getting his 4th would mean little since it would still be dismissed by a lot of nba "fans", saying he needed AD and got carried for his 4th title, even if he performs well in the finals.

ImWatchingYew bro you crazy ain’t no way in hell lebron and the lakers losing to giannis

Nick Samp bro vast majority is not saying that especially if they beat clippers rockets and or bucks

Then they decide to return to Seattle and win one there too.

If that happens chris paul will go down as a top 2 pg in history

STOP it

He would have a unique legacy, but he still wouldn't have nearly the career to be in a top 10 discussion. That's crazy

Voltaire no, if he wins the finals and wins MVP he would be boosted to the top 10. Wins three championships with 3 different teams. That’s just unheard of in almost all sporting leagues and this guy does it in less then like a decade

Kawhi definitely would not be in top 10 all-time discussion if he won this year, but a championship and another finals MVP this season could help for a possible top-25 argument soon. James winning a title though would boost him to 3rd or 4th all-time.

@@dumajett3271 Not in the top 10 but in that top 10-15 range for sure imo. If you compare him to someone like Shaq, Wilt or Hakeem the only that's missing would be his total stats. And I don't care about them as much. 3 titles/3 finals mvps with 3 different teams. 2 of them after just arriving there and giving them their first ring. This would be a feat that was never heard off.

@@ballislife9924 He is in an odd situation of having little overall stats compared to his huge accolades. I think once his career is over that more people will be able to put him high up on the all-time list since those stats become important when comparing the top players of all time and he will have more, but for now many would be hesitant and I can understand why.

SladesterG true but y’all would be vs them in the first round

The Knicks would be 82-0 if they only faced the Mavs.

Cap

True but I feel that way about every team in the west for teams 1-7.

Not with lebron there

Giannis is also encouraged by kobe to win the championship after getting the mvp

@Juwan Taylor bwuahaha I was drunking water, literally choked after reading your stupid comment

Might be in the goat conversations😂😂😂

Crack Demon that’s really reaching but that would be cool af not gonna lie

Bro that thumbnail?!! Wtf?!?!

Lol they would have to make the playoffs and beat the lakers but yeah if they win he’s the goat

Zack Young lakers aren’t that good only won by 2 against a hurt Celtics team

Shub TakesDubs yeah buts it’s the clippers so no one cares

Fraser Roch exactly 😂

Honestly, I think the Lakers have gelled as a team better than the Clippers have so far. The Clippers are still a work in progress to realizing their potential. The Lakers started the season with a lineup that really seems to like working together.

@@fraserroch9690 yeah dawg you're proving my point this is the narrative they have to destroy cause they've been the irrelevant team in LA for so long.

Dame is farrrrrr from underrated anymore

I see the Nuggets cashing in on their young talent for a trade for Giannis. Gary Harris,Jamal Murray and MPJ plus 2 first round picks for Giannis. A twin towers duo of Jokic and Giannis can go back to back

@@crackdemon7180 theres rumors that golden state is stashing up to trade for giannis, and the whole "we saw steph and giannis talking off the court"

Logan Chen I wouldn’t mind seeing Giannis traded to Golden State in exchange for Green,Wiggins,Paschal and 2 future first rounders. Even if the big three of Klay,Steph and Giannis only have G League level pieces around them they would still be able to have a deep playoff run.

@@crackdemon7180 yeah that would be so cool... a guy can only dream

That would be crazy, that Is an understatement. You have a complete and ready Raptors team that tou win with, then you leave and they're fine, better, win again and without you? Sheesh

If the bucks won I’d see that as the best way to honor Kobe. He took giannis under his wing and trained him and was in many ways his apprentice. To see giannis win it would be the best way to honor Kobe. Transferring the mamba mentality into a new player.

Ulol

@@monsterkill164 Gago

Heavenest St. Cyr probably didn’t wanna be biased about his own team

True

as a Celtics fan, I don't think they're title contenders... YET. they're more of a finals playoff contender as their bench is just meh and they still lack at the 5. maybe next year when they sign Tatum and either keep/upgrade Hayward as well as improve their center spot they'll for sure be contenders.

HMD Plays what about Enes Kanter? He’s an energy guy that grabs boards... at least according to 2k19 MyLeague

Panama true

What? Cause they died y’all deserve it? Nah it’s to those who play the best that deserve it. Even Kobe gon agree to that

@@deltadan3565 true

Delta Dan you stupid all it said is do it for them not that we deserve it

Delta Dan nigga I deadass meant that we should be using them as fuel to the fire to earn the championship don’t fucking come at me saying that stupid shit

Ehhh I wouldn’t say that unless you think Lebron is the goat. Lebrons 35 and the clippers are the on paper favorites. Honestly looking at what kawhi has done before, he should win with this roster and load management (he’s actually in his prime and Lebron is past it).

I don't think Bron is the GOAT. He's top 3 on my list. But if he wins in year 17 and gets Finals MVP he is certainty in the GOAT conversation.The Lakers are always under the most pressure to win titles. Bron himself will be under pressure after Kobe's death. AD and Bron both have to put the Lakers and the city on their backs because everyone is looking for them to win for Kobe. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the Clippers do win though they have a great roster.

Trevel The Critic Yeah I guess from that perspective what you’re saying makes sense. My thing is that the favorites should always be under the most pressure (the clippers are going against old Lebron and giannis without a great second option), but I will admit that ignores too many off the court factors. So I’ll concede on this one.

🤮

The 76ers are better last year compared this season, so I doubt they would come out of as the east champs this year. Lakers has too many competitions right now (clips, nuggets, rockets, jazz) and the clips has kawhi who is currently owning LeBron. Unless they have a backup plan against the clips, your dream match up won't happen.

@Clippers Suck Lol I know u hate the clips but let's be real, they aren't going to be a first round exit team. 2nd round exit the least, but highly doubt it. Lakers are the only team that can beat them only if they figure out how to get around kawhi. He's a beast in the playoffs.
