Are You A Fan Of The Lakers Raising An In-Season Tournament Champion Banner? | 12/19/23
Dan Patrick and the Danettes discuss whether or not they’re fans of the Los Angeles Lakers raising a banner to commemorate winning the NBA’s In-Season Tournament this season
It's nothing but a participation trophy.. couldn't even get anyone to attend.. it's a joke..and Leflopper is not even a top 15 player, much less the top player😂
I don’t mind it. No-one’s claiming that the in-season tournament win is anything like a championship win, but so what? It’s still something nice to put on your resume. It’s still something you worked towards, and you got a trophy for it. Everything’s “meaningless” if you look at it that way.
An in season tournament is about money not excellence the teams playing for a championship at years end won’t include the Indiana Pacers. And the Lakers unfurling banners is also not about excellence it’s about LeBron’s ego and taking another step towards erasing the fleeting memory of him getting swept in last year’s playoffs. Thus why he immediately muttered about “retiring” to distract from his being swept. Pathetic.
I understand how "cheapish" the IST seems. However, if the league is giving a trophy and medals to the winners, I understand the team hanging a banner. However, I agree that it should be in its own area away from any NBA championship banners.
Lebron James is the king of flop in an era where everything is a foul to begin with. LeBron has more highlights of him flopping then he does playing defense.
Lebron has zero killer instinct and has said numerous years he would participate in the dunk contest just to bail out early every single time simply because he was scared of losing.
"The decision" just made him look like an even bigger jerk before he made it even worse by proclaiming himself the greatest ever which made everyone cringe including his agent. If Le Bron was truly the greatest he wouldn't ever have to say it just like Jordan never has.
Le Bron has acted like a jerk his entire career and no one but him and his girlfriend Shannon Sharpe thinks 4-6 is better then 6-0 in the finals. And let's not forget, "not 1, not 2, not 3." Instead of taking leadership he would rather make excuses just like all of his fellow Lebronians. Jordan never made excuses or ever said he was the best because he let his career speak for itself. If LeBron wanted to be the best ever then he should have played defense or at least act like he was at least trying to. The only thing that caught fire in his career is his Jerseys from fans who got fed up of the childish ways he handles situations. I myself tried to root for him multiple times but every single time he has let me down with his ignorance and immaturity. I still remember when LeBron and Dwayne Wade fake coughed at Dirk to make fun of him for being sick just to lose to him and the Mavericks in the NBA finals.
In the rough and tumble 90's Lebron would have been Ewing and Rodman's bitch and his scoring would have been limited to say the least. Jordan averaged 30+ in a legue that allowed hand checking! LeBron hasn't even came close to passing Kobe who was a better athlete and by the way has 5 rings. Lebronians need to pump their brakes permanently on this completely rediculous discussion. LeBron thinks winning a series against a team with a suspended Draymond and an unhealthy Steph Curry cements him in as the GOAT, lol! The only thing LeBron has in common with the GOAT is the number he chose to copy and wear on his back. LeBron is not chasing a ghost in Chicago, Lebron is being haunted by all the stupid decisions he made in the past. When LeBron spoke up about the Hong Kong protests he actually took the side of the Chinese government and proved that he cares more about money then people. Lebron will show up at his sons USC game and make his entrance during the national anthem and plop down center court proving he has no respect for his own country where he was able to accumulate over a Billion dollars.
The Lakers won the first ever rigged in season tournament and Lebron immediately got on Instagram bragging about his 5th title, just to delete it because everyone knows that wasn't a Championship. But the Lakers decided to hang their in season tournament banner to make sure everyone knows the franchise has become a total joke and they only have the self proclaimed goat to blame. Just think how great LeBron could have been if he had just learned how to get out of his own selfish way. Lebron will go down as the worst role model in the NBAs history and he will remain the turnover king forever.

I am sure NBA execs and TV execs and Major sponsors, etx were pushing for this.

They should be embarrassed
They beat 5 teams with a combined record of 52-77. They got a banner and trophy for it. Only LBJ would celebrate!
Only homeless people in LA can attend the parade. Which means there should be a pretty good turn out !!😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 pathetic 😒 😅😅😊. They got to get Bronte Sr more rings 💍 somehow 🙄 😑 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i tend to think that the NBA had A LOT to do with them raising this banner
In season tournament rings…special edition
The Lakers hanging a banner for that joke of a tournament is beyond foolishness
Slow news day? Who cares. It's their right to raise a banner.
That's a good point about the regular season record! Agreed.
🔥🗑💩
Lebum to the NBA is like Biden to America.
When my Pistons win and break their 24 game losing streak, we're raising a banner too, "losing streak breaker CHAMPIONS OF 2024!" 🎉🎉😂
Anyone else miss the old Stat of the Day theme song?

The NBA obviously made them do it to legitimize the in season tournament.
Someone take the crown from him. Sorry I'm not sorry. win at all costs
Laughing in the background
To early in the season to celebrate anything.

This in-season tourney championship is just as irrelevant as their 2020 covid season NBA championship
