Coronadome was the toughest environment and Corona Kombat was the deadliest form of NBA playoff ever. And the GOAT franchise in all professional sports won the first and only Corona Championship....

NBA players, you know, the dudes actually PLAYING basketball all saying it was difficult. More than the regular season.

Coli couch fakkits saying it wasn't hard. Same cats that panic when they mom yells at them from the top of the basement steps.

Never change Coli :ehh:

The Lakers and Bucks are the only one seeds in NBA history to not get home court advantage. They are probably the most disadvantaged top seed in the history of sports. Makes the Lakers winning that much more impressive.

Nobody cares about these finals outside of laker fans

why else would you be demanding respect on stage as a franchise, it’s not like the Lakers are some irrelevant franchise like the grizzlies

even Adam silver was shocked at how little interest this shyt has generated :mjlol:
Spoken like a true butthurt Warriors stan. This bubble ring holds more weight than those rings y’all won with KD.

"Longest season" is a half-truth.

They only played 60-odd games; had a 3-4 month break; played eight games (most of which weren't competitive due to teams adjusting and the playoff picture already decided), and then went straight into the playoffs. A lot less physical strain than having to play 82-games and then straight into the postseason.

A lot of what he's saying is a generic dramatization of what actually happened.

A team like Miami benefitted from playing in the Bubble conditions as there was a lesser likelihood they beat Bucks having to travel to Milwaukee and taking 2-3 games off them on their home floor (no other team in the league benefitted from home-court quite as the Bucks did), as well as taking 2-3 games off the Celtics on their home floor. A team like the Lakers benefitted from having a 3-4 month break with their aging roster; not having to endure the war of attrition that comes with a full regular season and then straight into the playoffs. On top of the fact they had arguably the easiest run of opponents they could've had (missing out on playing the Clippers and Bucks, who were their biggest threats), and they didn't have to come up against another superstar, like Steph or KD, which have literally been the only obstacles to Bron over the last half a decade.

Winning without homecourt is certainly impressive, in a vacuum, but I certainly wouldn't say that's heavier to where it outweighs the Lakers' run of opponents. At the end of the day, a championship is a championship, and whatever course it took to get there shouldn't be minimized, but with that said, let's not act like they had to go through hellfire to win this season; they had an extremely fortunate run where they never played a team who was even remotely in the same state of health or had similar talent.

Regardless of it being difficult or not - the league is a fraternity, so of course, the overwhelming majority of players will say it's difficult, if only for the fact they don't want to be seen as that hating ass nxgga who goes against their peers. They're not going to say some shyt that will fukk their money and future career options up.
