Caruso: Now I got a real one, now no can say anything about my ring

[Bar Razor]

Lakers fans and players are def insecure bout how nikkas view that ring and circumstance. Bron and AD was SO MOTIVATED to shut that talk down and win a real one specially in 2023 but they ain't had a conference finals win since Disneyworld the only of the 4 Bubble team finalists who ain't win a conference finals game or make finals since actually. Really make ya think....

And no matter what 2020 Lakers.... Only "title" team with NO PARADE to show for it. Bron wanted to latch on to Rams parade and have one wit em

Bu bu that one right there was the hardest of all time. You mean people disagree?????

 

[DraymondT]

You know he averaged 26 right? The exaggeration on this site to try to prove a point is wild.

Wasn't no 26 either FOH

I remember they was talkin that Bubble MVP speakin to that they actually had that shyt awarded



Bubble MVP

Brehs acting like Caruso made this comment because of nikkas on the Coli

This the funniest part. These nikkas think Caruso respondin to Coli or Twitter nikkas when we seen a bunch of actual NBA players get up there on pods, interviews sayin that shyt was fake includin players who was in the league and the bubble at the time. Players round the league def treat it a certain way if it wasn't they wouldn't have to be doin damage control and constantly talkin bout the "realness" of it in 2025 if it was just online nikkas why would they care? Its cause actual players and hoopers don't respect it the same and they know it

I know when Caruso touch down in OKC when they got to practice, scrimmage I know he hit em wit the I got a ring yall dont and those young nikkas def tol him that shyt dont count this OKC team real close off the floor I know for a fact they been sayin that shyt to em about the bubble

Players are dismissive of it because they lost

They only went because Bron said he was going. Bron wins, and now it doesn't count

Ain't no way I'm discounting my own achievements like that...You mfs would have had to address me as "2 time champion _______", lol.

This thread literally about someone that was on the winning team dismissing it

Players know the physical and mental grind of the long season and winning big games in hostile environments is one of the hardest parts of winning the Finals

The theory that it's only discounted because Bron won don't hold up. You had certain dudes including Phil Jackson discrediting the Spurs winning in 1999 because of the shortened season, and that was 10 times more legitimate. And you know damn well if the Warriors won in the bubble Bron stans on here would still be writing essays about why it don't count.

The bubble is a real ring because 16 teams participated in that playoff

We cant celebrate the battle of Lillard vs Murray. And then in the same breath say the shyt was fake

 

[WesCrook]

If Lebron and the Lakers had lost in 2020, it surely would be considered a "Bubble Loss".

The criticism for losing would have outweighed the praise for winning

 

[Illin Degenerate]

ppl get way too insecure about the bubble ring, that entire season is an asterisk. the whole thing was a farce. 65 game regular season then essentially an entire offseason then 8 game restart all at the same venue then an entire playoffs all at the same venue. caruso was right it didnt mean the same because it wasnt anywhere close to a real nba season.

 

[MoshpitMazi]

Bubble ring was literally a intramural scrimmage lol

So the other teams should've played harder.

Idk how you figure that. The man averaged 31 in 6 regular season games and 20 in 4 playoff games in the bubble. Look it up it's not too hard.
Why use a graphic that shows what he averaged the first 3 games when he played 10?
