    Danny Green
    KCP
    Bron
    AD
    Dwight

    Bench:
    Kuz
    Keef
    Rondo
    Javale
    Caruso

    Unless he’s being super nitpicky and talking about Kuz, this is a shot at Bron lol because everyone on that team had clamps.

    It’s lip service. KCP also said that the Nuggets would’ve beaten the lakers in 2020 when he joined the nuggets

    “A team that gets stops to win games”

    Does he know that he’s on the magic now?

  5. Odd-Direction9452

    I mean to be fair the Magic do literally play a rotation full of locked in aggressive defenders.

    Remember the ankle monitor? Not the best thinker, that guy.

    This doesn’t seem like it’s shitting on anyone, rather just talking up his new team. Magic are an excellent defensive team, they obviously take a ton of pride in it

    I like to think he’s talking about the Nuggets.

    That 2020 Team, as everyone is pointing out, had solid defensive players and we were like (top 5-10?) that year in defense as well.

    I think he’s throwing shade at MPJ and Murray, and also maybe Jokic since they’re all offensive minded players.

    “This is the first team that I’ve been on where everybody likes to defend” -KCP

    KCP doesn’t fit well with his new teammates so he is saying things people say to build chemistry even though he was on the 2019-2020 Lakers team who were a a defensive team coached by a defensive minded coach he is not fooling anyone and only looks like a basketball version groupie being that he is an old man compared to most of his teammates there in Orlando

    He forgets we put up with his wack ass all them years he did nothing but take up cap space. Now he wanna talk spicy

    You know I’m as glad as anyone that KCP came and was a huge part of our championship team but ever since he left it feels as if he’s taken every opportunity to clap back at the Lakers for trading him.

    We get it, we didn’t want you to be traded but holy shit manna from Heaven, move on.

  12. If it’s a shot at anyone, its most definitely about one of the Nuggets players; that whole 2020 team philosophy was about suffocating defense and punishing teams with our size.

  13. drummerkid38

    What if he literally just means that it’s the first team where everyone *likes* to defend. Of course 2020 lakers DID defend but maybe some players didn’t actually enjoy it to the degree that his new team does 🤔

  14. TroubledMang

    That was more of a dig at Portland. Specifically Murray, and maybe Porter.

    The Lakers had the best defense in the playoffs in 2020. AD, Howard, Bron, DG, AC, and KCP all played some great defense in Vogels system. They covered for Kuzma, and playoff Rondo even looked fine out there.

  15. Any_Wrongdoer_9796

    To be fair Lebron has not liked to defend since his last year in Miami.

  16. KingNephew

    He has to hype up his new team of course but 2020 and 2021 Lakers defense was superior to the current Magic.

  17. 1nTheNick0fTime

    I loved KCP as a player on our team but from the first time I heard him speak I knew I didn’t want to again lol actually sounds a little slow

  18. Tbh this is much more triggering message for nuggets players rather than us

  19. *conveniently forgets 2020 bubble season chip, and Vogel’s “defense first” approach*

  20. shapeshifter14

    Feel like this is an ignoreable offense. Dudes clearly trying to prop up his new team.

    The fact that he chose Orlando of all places is crazy to me. I guess he does have 2 rings. 2 undeserved rings if you ask me.
