Which NBA team has a 10 point lead and the other team ties the game and then beats them? This was the only game where they had the opportunity to win, they were close to securing the victory but due to their bad decisions they did not but they had the potential and the team to win
Yeah Lakers suck! Time to retire Lebron.
James with two guards will still hug the ball.
That four game sweep, has MJ, thinking, why does this idiot keep comparing me to him! I wannabe like MIKE! Remember the promotional thing
MJ went to six championships and came back with six titles! Enough said!
Tf was Lebron thinking on that last play we all know run in and dish it back out to Davis 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Warriors could of at least have won 2 games or even 3.. 🙄
wowowow cant belive they wseeppp lakers dammmm mest upp what happen to lebron is getting old man wuas nice lebron my nigga but u have to bettter i know u carrign the who team but bless ppapa next year god bless brother …….
8:25 was actually a 3 for Jokic. He lifts the leg up before the shot
Jokic 🫢made so many miracle shots🏀
this game that none of it was funny.
Nikola was causing the Lakers fits,
Aaron👍Gordon showed up to play strong,
and the supporting cast for Nuggets just kept
their heads up the whole time. Got to give Lakers a lot of respect for the defense they
played too. Anthony🍿 Davis has no problem blocking shots and that 1 he got on Gordon 👀was special. The thing I also like about AD is his will to be strong off the glass. You could clearly notice him cleaning up the mess from a missed shot and slamming it down shortly after. I really want to see LeBron 💪🙏playing at least for the next 2 seasons. His overall game has no weaknesses other than the free throw shooting and he showed why he is still top 5 in league. If only everybody else could have his game. LeBron gets complete respect all around the association. And off the court his goal of helping as many people out as possible with education and life has been a incredible story. Round of applause to the player Austin Reaves🫡 has already become too. We all know Austin💪 has finally deserved
to be a player in starting lineup most nights.
He loves the game and welcomes every challenge. Thats what it takes to be and do your best. Congratulations Denver on making it to the Finals. Jamal🔥 Murray will be a huge
reason why Nuggets 🧤🧥🧦❄️continue to have success. So happy for Jamal, Jokic, and Porter Jr.
This Y’all King? He’ll never reach MJ. It’s pathetic how hard he tries
It's not about labron they got spanked !!
Lebron has since stated that if he wasnt suffering from foot pain it wouldve been a Laker sweep 4-0 instead but his foot was experiencing soreness and it caused them to lose four games in a row.
Wow the Denver Nuggets are in the NBA finals the day the earth stood still
Lord Lakers🤦🏽♀️
It was less than 3 months ago Lebron was wearing a crown preening around the court calling himself the goat when he won his fake scoring title. Had Kareem not been forced into college he'd still be 3000+ points ahead of Leberon.
LeMickey needs to retire
I never wanna hear Lebron and MJ in the same sentence again…
LeBron would've completed the greatest single season for a player if he won the chip this year. Respect to the Nuggets they were dedicated and balling at a high level 💯.
Why lebron didn't take the shot
Y’all need to chill let the lakers fan do them
LeChoke
Jebroni James with the choke……..
I hate Carmelita Wallace and Lawanda Stevens reported dangerous dirty funky lying evil WHORES
YESSIR, HEAT NATION BABY 🔥 Now Its Heats Vs Nuggs, This Will Be A Good Game 💯 #LetsGoHeat, Jimmy Buckets Aka MJ Going To Score Hella Points 💪🏼

Love how the lakers went above and beyond not to score there last 3 possessions. This garbage is so fake
Wow ok nuggets let's see how play against their finals opponent
It’s Jokic’s time now; he is now the new Tim Duncan, but with a personality 😂
Well, no questions here….getting swept pretty much assures the superior team won ……Lakers had no answer in defending these guys as it was a constant up hill struggle for them……Good luck to the Nuggets agains the Heat…should be an interesting series…and I'm not really sure who wins it, but I don't think either team sweeps so it is going to be fun to watch for sure…..I am secretly/unsecretly rooting for the Heat and Butler….I'd like to see him get a ring…….Jokic will get his eventually if not the year whereas Butler, not so sure about that….
big ups to the mile high city now all of your sports franchises have been to the big dance
not every city can say that congrats
anthony davis is very wide open to make a brick shot
Nuggets deserved to win this series. We made terrible decisions with player changes.
