It ain’t no Bron agenda, any team that won the bubble title would have gotten shyt. NFL didn’t take 5 months off between regular season and playoffs.
The majority of this site doesn't like baseball but there's plenty of baseball fans that discredit the Dodgers championship from that year.

- Lakers "fan"
- Some nonsensical logic about the league was on pause.

yeah the NFL starts in september. Tf?

Do I even need to say anything? You want to have two less chips than the Celtics? Why would a so called team fan want his team have less chips?

The premier league paused.

The other big european soccer leagues paused.

The MLB paused.

They all resumed.

The chips count breh. not sure why we still goin over this in 2025
Nikka you brought up the nfl not having the same convos around their title and you just answered your own question as to why :mjlol: everything started and ended in the same timeframe. Where did I ever say the chip didn’t count. Emotinal for no fukkin reason :mjlol:

LeGBT in here writing multiple paragraphs about this.
:mjlol:
Paragraphs that none of you sorry nikkas can retort. Which is why every nikka I’ve challenged in this thread has eventually disappeared. Some leaving sneak negs because they mad. :mjlol:

I keep asking these imbeciles one simple question and they can’t answer it. Their whole world view has been shattered :dead:

It’s definitely a LeBron hate thing since MLB/NFL championships were played under similar Covid-restricted conditions and nobody has spent years discrediting those chips

Im actually shocked Bron haters haven’t created a conspiracy he personally manufactured Covid and millions of global deaths all by himself.

Bron hate will be studied for generations. It’s a collective mental health disorder for sure

To think there's not a bigger asterisk to this ring than the Bubble ring is crazy.

Bubble: PURE competition. No travel. No side chicks, no hanger ons, no distractions.

This chip: every W was led by the biggest Flopper in the NBA with the refs helping him every step of the way..

But THIS ring brings more credibility than the Bubble ring?
:mjlol:
This is sad as fukk, my dude

Dodger fans absolutely do not care about that ring. You nikkas entire view of sports is thru that one man.

LeBron haters are quite literally the dumbest motherfukkers on this planet. They make Trump supporters look like Nobel laureates. But then again a lot of them both hate Bron and fw Trump so :mjlol:

Like I’ve been saying, apparently you lose you sense of humor when you enter :flabbynsick: territory.

Dude is obviously sarcastic and taking a harmless shot at the trolls all in his mentions since 2020.

The following year they had the second best record in the West then AD got hurt so they lost to PHX in the first round.

After that the Westbrook trade happened and they were a completely different team. Surely you cannot be this fukking stupid. Oh I forgot you nikkas don’t actually watch ball just dikkride and parrots narratives.

You see how simply I answered that? But you still can’t answer mine. One more copy/paste for your remedial ass.

I’ll ask again, if the bubble is a fluke why did 3 of the final 4 teams go on to return to the finals (some multiples times), with Boston and Denver eventually getting rings of their own. I’ll wait…

See above for why Lakers didn’t make it bac.
Bron always has an excuse when he loses, so its no surprise that you want to bring up how 3 teams made the finals after the bubble, but make an excuse for the Lakers, the one team that gets clowned for the Minnie Mouse ring. And it's even worse since they've been getting beat upside the head by the Nuggets ever since they beat them in the bubble. It's a fact that the Lakers played the best ball in that Disney channel tournament and thats great. But its not the same as going through a gruelling season and coming out on top in the end.

Having a break mid season also benefits out of shape/older players btw who would usually gas out during the playoffs..
The only player of genuine impactful significance that opted out was Kyrie. Please go look at the list of bubble absentees and tell me it has any relevance to the outcome. The majority of them were role players on losing teams that didn’t have a snowballs chance in hell. The way you dudes reach when it’s Bron is crazy. Oh god what will we do without Thabo Sefolosha and Davis Bertans. :mjlol:

The Lakers actually suffered one of the worst opt outs with Avery Bradley btw but let’s just ignore that. :dead:

The rest of your bullet points are contradictory. All of these elements make the tournament harder not easier.

By getting a several month layoff teams got a chance to get healthy and weren’t worn down by the grind of the regular season. Which is why there were so little injuries in the bubble. This effectively lessens the talent gap between teams.
Since you're emotionally involved in any criticism that comes LeBubbles way you'll pretend to not understand how changing the parameters surrounding the game changes how the game is played. You think holding the NBA playoffs in Brazil wouldn't have an effect on how the game is played? What would happen if they went on a South American tour during the playoffs playing different games in different countries with ample time in between? You don't think that would change how it's played?
No home court/crowd disadvantaged a team like the Lakers, who would’ve had it the whole time under normal circumstances. Not helped them. But somehow you actually had the audacity to list this as some killer talking point. :laff:

No travel means less fatigue, distractions and jet lag. These dudes were locked in resort with nothing to focus on but basketball. Again, this optimizes the playing conditions and actually lessens the talent gap.

And less crowd/media pressure in theory helps role players perform better. TJ Warren had a period in the bubble where he looked like Michael Jordan. You ever watch the gym runs of NBA players? Even scrubs can’t miss. If we’re using that logic that again, makes the game harder. Because now everyone is killing.

Regular post season environment introduces a lot of handicaps that help teams wins when they aren’t necessarily the best. Home court, travel, injuries from the regular season grind, etc. The bubble was ball in its purest form. Completely neutral just nut up or shut up. The team that was considered the best prior to Covid won and the 3 runner ups all went on to return to the finals and 2 of them got titles.

What are we even doing here? Seriously. I want to believe you aren’t this fukking retarded.
NBA players are used to everything the bubble eliminated. They're not used to being completely stuck in a hotel, where they can't have the company they want, move as freely as they usually do, or do the things they usually do.. And on top of all that no one knew where COVID was heading so there was a worry of what was exactly going on and what direction society was going in. Again, the Lakers played the best ball during that time but all the fatigue, distractions, jet lag etc.. are PART of what constitutes winning a championship.

And ultimately, the reason Caruso said this is because it gets brought up to him all the time. So you can get mad and name call all you want but it won't change the fact that a lot of people will NEVER look at the bubble ring the same way they do every other ring.
