Re-watching this after this year's Lakers team got eliminated from Playoffs Contention. MAN, how I miss this Lakers team. Offense and Defense well-balanced team.
Round 1: prove doubters wrong Round 2: make Westbrook his bitch and prove he can play elite defense Round 3: ad locks down jokic Finals: lebron and ad have fun
Man, this Lakers roster could've won back to back championships without those injuries. There's no way the Suns nor Bucks could've beat this Lakers in a 7 game series.
@@PG-rt4up he completely demolished them and honestly thats what he has always been he is the guard destroyer. But to be fair westbrook was playing with an injured quad otherwise he would have attacked and dunked more probably
This team was so great and they broke it apart. Of course you have to reload after a championship, but they definitely over did it. Injuries messed up the following year and age messed up this one.
They didn't have a choice.. Rondo wanted one last big contract and the Lakers couldn't afford to pay him. So they had to find an alternative. Their closing lineup with Rondo, LeBron, AD, KCP and Kuz/Morris/DG was unguardable.. Rondo was making his open shots and he was a great creator so LeBron could do other things.
Congrats on your Chip this season. The Bucks were truly amazing to watch on this run. Giannis and company deserve their flowers. Just a feel good story watching y’all do what y’all did this year 🙏🏀🙏🏀🙏🏀🙏🏀
@@relaxdude7014 no they couldn’t. Last time Bron played warriors he had 56 and a w remember. curry ain’t beating Lebron with a healthy team. 2020 Lakers beat Murray, jokic…cj and dame, Carmelo and harden and Westbrook then beat the heat in 6. Warriors had an easier run
@@justinanthony8767 I would rather say that most of kids are his fans, just like my bro, even tho he's not really watching NBA, just checking news once in a while Probably old NBA fans are the ones who hate him most. Like calling him soft etc.
@@aitlin On what basis is this tho? I know a lot of old bball fans who love him and not getting the hate he’s getting (tho they gave me some context that it might be because he went to Miami and stuff). And it’d make sense that older fans would know not to hate him because he’s just a player doing his best in this league like what OP said. What’s so wrong about that? It’s just so immature to keep on hating him and using insults only children would use.
@@BeanSprouts02 he's just a modern player and some people can't just leave what they've played or watched before. He doesn't have some of those characteristics of his game that can remind of old ball. Basically i would put it like that. At least not now. In past he probably had more respect but now he's not. Some don't like Miami move, some don't like the fact that he starts to play soft ball (flops, less energy used, less solo plays (like driving to the basket against defenders and do stuff he does his entire career)), some might not like his activity outside the court. There's some stuff that you can not like about him, but idk why overall people hating on him. He's a great player, teammate and businessman. I don't know man
Eric Achenbach part of the game but a shitty part. I think most everyone hopes both teams are completely healthy for the duration of the series(or at least healthy enough to play.)
Bron wasn’t joking when he said he was getting a chip for Kobe The 2020 post season was so fun to watch despite the pandemic fucking shit up. respect from a Warriors fan
its crazy watching this while those guys are injured its such a difference .like right now the lakers have to work 3 times as hard to score without them
I dunno about y’all but this Bubble ring got a different feel to it - it’s a one of a kind championship tbh and only the winning team would get to experience this win as it will be a special moment and although a lot think this ring is irrelevant at the end of the day your team just didn’t win…. MENTAL STATE > EXCUSES
Every says how easy this championship run was, but before each series vs Portland, Houston and Denver people tried to make it look like the Lakers were in deep trouble then when they won they said it was just too easy, the Lakers have a stacked team, like make up your mind
You know what's crazy? PG ran from the East because of Lebron and now Harden and Westbrook ran from the West because of Lebron..... same reason why Kyrie stayed in the East and KD went to the East..... they already know better
To this day idk why Rob just straight up dismantled this championship team. Like if it falls apart during the season make tweaks at the deadline but to get rid of it damn near COMPLETELY??? We’re still suffering the consequences of that choice and it’s 2023 💀
@@harshsheth768 people hating on him now are all the bandwagons and forget he just had a concussion last week. Caruso will be big for the Lakers once again in the playoffs 100%
The line up of Lakers they won last season was unstoppable,good teamates that cAn go anytime in finals.But so sad,their team scattered😢😢😢😢,don't know why?
Who the heats got? Lmao. Y’all keep on saying bam but the lakers got lieterally a top 5 layers defensive player of the year with monster Dwight Howard. Remember the lakers defense shut down dame and CJ 3 point rampage not to mention Houston’s 3 pointers as well. The lakers excel and broke zone. Oh by the way y’all got Tyler and duncan defensive liabilities. Once we shut down the 3s what y’all got? 😂🤣🤣🤦♂️ we got all the Verterans who been to the finals and y’all got some rookies.😂😂😂🏆🏆🏆
The size of the Lakers was criticized at the beginning of the season. "Shooting is the way of the future!" Both Finals teams have an all-star big man and an all-star small forward. None of the 4 of them shoots better than 35 or 36% from 3. It's a big man's game, at the end of the day. Unless you are the Warriors and your "big man" (KD) can also shoot.
@@bilbobaggins7674 curry and klay need to worry about their paint defense if you think draymond or soft ass wiseman is gonna stop bron kawhi or ad in the paint they in for a rude awakening lmfaaoo with that trash ass bench
