Funny how talking heads in the media, big youtubers, and social media in general are giving the Lakers props now. All year they were bashing this team and now they want to talk how good this team really was. Maybe next time they should appreciate the journey of it instead of looking like idiots bashing the squad
^While I do agree for the most part, some in the media are still clearly shaken up and extremely bitter.

The Lakers won their record-tying 17th title.
Said one senior Lakers executive: “While some of our so-called rivals spent literally hundreds of millions of dollars trying to win media cycles, we kept our heads down and focused on basketball — because the only thing we’ve ever cared about winning is championships.”
The Lakers bested the Clippers and everyone else. The Lakers absolutely deserve a victory lap.
Would be nice. L.A. is still under the Widespread level of Covid, unfortunately.
But there's got to be some creative ideas out there. Extra long parade route so people don't gather in dense numbers. Cruise down the coast on a boat. Have AC drive the team around in a white Ford Bronco, lol.

I don't know.
Didn't stop the thousands who flooded the downtown area after the Lakers won the championship. Shoulder to shoulder, many without masks. I believe there were 176 arrests. I hope LA doesn't experience a COID-19 spike. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Bill Plaschke being among the most ridiculous.
How that guy gets paid to pound out his drivel is beyond me, all I can say is it is a great country if he can make a living. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny

Been a long time since I've logged in, but I wanted to show love and congratulate all of my fellow passionate Laker fans on this board.
It's been a loong ten years, from all of the endless debates about Lakers drafts, trades, pipe dreams, free agents, and G-League players. And the worst of them all, the death of Kobe, Gianna, and the others aboard the helicopter on January 26th.
As for this season, from the COVID lockdown, to having endure all of that MADNESS about Kawhi, PG & the Clippers ALL YEAR. To ESPN & Woj being consistent HATERS... Lol.... To having to endure crazy talk about Pelinka's alleged incompetence on the AD trade, we Laker fans have had to endure perhaps the most amount of hate ever in one season...
AND WE CAME OUT ON TOP!!!!
MUCH LOVE TO ALL LAKER FANS. I will enjoy this one for years to come, as I'm sure you will.
Mo speight throwing shade, prob meant it for Bron, the haters are coming out of their slumbers, we are back on top
I seen that. What a (bleep) lol. Ya on the surface, a three-peat is more impressive. But if 4 wins and 6 losses isn’t impressive....why isn’t everyone doing it? The warriors had the best chance and they fell apart due to injuries. Making the finals so many times regardless of competition is no easy feat. So many things (like injuries) can happen at any point. Lebrons ability to steady the ship so many times is amazing.
And other things like clashing egos, teams losing focus like this years Clippers. They had the talent to win it all and should’ve this year. Didn’t even make the WCF. Every team Lebron has been on, he’s found a way to get to the championship round...even that garbage ass 07 Cavs team.
Another thing, if Speights tweet came from someone like Bill Russell, Jordan, or Kareem...it would’ve held more weight...but Speights? Gtfo he won as role player by beating Lebron without Love and Kyrie...then blows a 3-1 lead the following year. The nerve of this scrub to call out Lebrons accomplishments or lack thereof.
Lillard said it best ...”lots of people are 0-0” 4x champ and 4x finals mvp is nothing to sneeze at.

Luke
Could taste the bitterness in the fact that he cried about us rubbing it into the Clippers too much
