    Play-In champs over the Timberwolves now?

    Pat Bev is still my Play-In GOAT though.

  4. Jack_M_Steel

    What’s crazy is I don’t think any of the wins were as a 9th or 10th. Just a gauntlet every time

  5. Reasonable-Apricot-7

    I think they’ve been the 7 or 8 seed each time

  7. Jayveesac

    The Lakers never would have needed the play-in in either of the three years too

  8. legobowser

    Aah yes the 7 and 8 seeds who needed the play in.

    I understand he’s trying to get engagement but “in league history” feels a bit much lol

  12. k1ngkoala

    We have yet to actually benefit from it though

  14. WheedMBoise

    Glad to see that the Wolves have handed the reigns of play-in champs to the Lakers

  15. AutographedSnorkel

    Three time play in champion + In season tournament champion.

    Dynasty

  16. megaman78978

    Move over Pat Bev, we’re the real Play-In Champions!!!

  17. Vermillion_Crab

    LeBron putting up milestones Jordan can’t do. Smh my head

  18. goldyacht

    Who cares that Jordan is 6-0 in the finals Bron is undefeated in play in and holds the all time record 🐐

  20. neon_slippers

    Meanehile Jordan has zero play-in wins throughout his whole career.

  21. bambiface

    Lakers still hasn’t benefited from the play-in.

  23. ColdAsHeaven

    Is it really considered via the play in if you aren’t the 9 or 10?

  25. Ok_Season_3917

    Tf this makes it seem like we got in as the 10th seed we were 7, 7, and 8

  29. Jonesalot

    If there was no play-in, then Lakers wouldn’t have to play today, would have avoided Denver and would meet OKC in the first round

    Understandable that LeBron hates the play-in

  30. Free_Relationship692

    PLAYIN 3PEAT, 1 IST CHAMP and 1 ring(whatever). Bron-AD Laker era cooking

  31. Princessk8--

    All the in-season tournament doubters gonna be eating copious amounts of crow when we end up with a Lakers-Pacers NBA Finals 😂

  32. MAMBAMENTALITY8-24

    Tbf jordan never won a play in game…let alone 3. Lebron rises when the stakes are high

  33. disnotyaboy

    But they didn’t even jump on a tables or throw any jerseys. Are they dumb?

  35. BossButterBoobs

    I think that’s a pretty disingenuous was to put it. They were never lower than an 8th seed going in to the post season.

  36. Eastern_Can1655

    Even as I watch our team lose I recognize this playin dynasty start. I noticed it during the inseason too… Good luck LeBron stay in LA and these next 10 are yours…

  39. AntSmith777

    All three times we would have been in even if there was no play-in.

  40. ElectronicReport4113

    People will be talking about the 22′ – 24′ Lakers for decades to come!

  42. Jimm120

    but lets be honest, they were 7th (or 8th?) if there was no play-in. They would have made it either way

  44. soduhcan

    LeBron: play in is stupid. Also LeBron: King of play in.

  45. dependentweb363

    This the same play-in that LeCommissioner said someone should get fired over or nah?

  46. Character-Pattern505

    FOR THE THIRD TIME IN SEATTLE KRAKEN HISTORY

  48. IMovedYourCheese

    Hang the play-in banner alongside their in season tournament banner.

  49. SecondsforLunch

    Petition to rename the Play-in as the “LeBron James’ Whoever came up with that sh– needs to be fired Tournament” once he retires.

  50. creamcitybrix

    If LeBron plays any longer, they’re going to have to add a pre-play-in round robin
