Lakers were winning that shit bubble or not. The real story is how much the shortened off-season affected the team the year and years after that. Injuries all throughout 2021... and then the FO pannicked.

00:48 Kobe Bryant's Death, Playoff Expectations
Half season 2020, half season 2013…Lebron only has 3 championships
02:01 The Bubble
05:36 Round 1 vs. Dame & Blazers
When winners lose, they congratulate.
When losers lose, they say “it doesn’t count” and try to discredit the winners.
06:35 Anthony Davis Shines
08:01 LeBron's Leadership
The lakers made AD gain weight to play center and he’s been riddled with injuries ever since
09:18 Playoffs Postponed
11:05 Round 2 vs. Russ, Harden & Rockets
I’d argue the team after this year was arguably better than this team they just were hurt then they decided to blow it up for no reason
11:27 Playoff Rondo
12:59 WCF vs. Jokić & Nuggets
14:54 Anthony Davis' Game-Winner
16:02 Life in the Bubble
You can discredit Alex Caruso on this one, he always mock this championship was not a real one
17:07 Bubble Jimmy Butler
19:40 Game 5 Miss
This Lakers squad should've won 2 or 3 chips easily.
22:33 Bubble Championship Celebration

And the non basketball guys said Bubble Champion is not classified as a ring or a real champion 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
@pauljhonrabaha5426Nobody respects it get over it… ddnt even face a top 5 team the whole playoff run
@cam-g9432Niggas ain’t have the right treatment makes this chip “the one” not to mention pure hoop
@adrianmcmillian7788that is why i wonder that why all this all big time players have gathered
@AlbironiePunso-rb1eoReminder that Danny Green was torching Heat in the finals too, that's why the hate behind Bosh block on him was understandable.
@Arnzez-z7rThe fact that you need to force people to respect the 2020 Lakers says a lot LOL. And I’m a die-hard Lakers fan
@lancedepedro5530mmm
@TheLittleLifeI’m sorry but if you need to tell us why it needs to be respected, it defeats the purpose. Nobody tells us why the Mavs 2011 run needs to be respected, it’s already known.
@Matthew_HickmanNah bro Bubble ring is not the same, because there's no Home Advantage "Home Crowd", just biassed referees
@ዕrdOቿEverybody in the NBA got a fresh legs after load management for the whole 4 months. So there are no excuses on everybody
@malifikri2Them dudes sacrificed Kobe to win a chip 😭
@AllAloneTnOne of the weakest nba finals ever.
@AllAloneTnHow can anyone discredit the 2020 championship when they are the same 4 teams in the 2023 conference finals.
...oh cause it's Lebron.
Im a warrior. Was a laker fan until 4/13/16 i think 😂😂. Kobe retiring but if any other team won it would be considered the greatest championship of all time. This was literally death isalnd tournament style nothing but ball
@Raider_707Wat amazes me is the Lakers organization pretending they dont know how to get back to title contending when you HAD all that you needed from the Bubble championship 😂
@JallenpoeCarudo avery bradley rondo even jared giving advice dawgs.
@AlwaysLingeringIf they stayed together maan my favorite lebron team
@AlwaysLingeringI disagree no likes the lakers anymore I hope nothing but the worst for them
@Jam-l9c-y3iEvery single team, this guy went to, he won a championship
@redcomet0079jimmy bubble monster
@august232008Outplayed Lebron. And would’ve won the championship if he had 2 of his 3 best players.
@andrewchester35277:49 Why’s he talking about AD like he’s a bum 😂😂😂😂
@taihaul2480Winning after Kobe death is legendary not enough people talk about that. This was a must win for the lakers
@G82WattsKeep these coming please
@ZayePerCubic zirconia
@Jackofall2105People forget that that ring was dedicated to Kobe, so Kobe fans hating on it are subconsciously dissing Kobe
@BigLilCuhz-1900But if season progresses as normal, AD was hurt and they dont advance. Year has a huge asterisk
@ProlIyThe day they broke that squad up was the day I stopped watching the NBA, the Lakers were crazy for not keeping that group together
@timesfly6382Kobe was sacrificed so they could win in it 😂😂😂😂 or it was some insider bullshit going on 😂😂😂 no way in hell Kobe dies and the lakers win 😂😂😂😂
@Trizzy_68Rob really let everyone on that team walk n didn't even give them a chance to run it back smh
@drew-l4xSpurs 2014, Toronto 2019 and Lakers 🟣 💛 2020 champion 💪🏼🏆🥳🎊🎉
@jolanirinco8837Fake finals
@GTXBUDMOTOWhy does he just put the hat on the regular fuckin way??
@romannikpugI’m a Sixers fan I loved seeing Danny’s jumper
