Before people say "Talk about The Nuggets" – We spent the majority of the full video celebrating Denver. Jokic is featured on the thumbnail. It's also pinned to our homepage lol. Full vid here: https://www.youtube.com/live/yuj0dlFBWXk?feature=share — We just wanted to shoutout the Lakers for an awesome season. Excited to dive into more Denver tomorrow.
I love the way are season went. 13th seed to WCF and every game was close. It seems like Nuggets and non Lakers fans want us to be more hurt than what we are. No hurt here and nothing but positive vibes. I think this offseason is gonna be very exciting for Laker fans to see what we can get to improve. Need another big and a point guard that create his own shot.
It adds to his legacy, but until he retires people in the media will use it to take away from him when he retires they will admit what he did this year was impressive
AD was statistically the best player on the Lakers. Nice try Lebron fanboy JJ lol.
Offer you a different perspective as basketball fan. Means nothing for Lebrons legacy, he is chasing rings. Not the first or second time he was swept, so what’s new. Lakers as a franchise, faced a suspended Gobert for the play-in, a lot of foul calls in their favor, injured Grizzlies, a dysfunctional Warriors team with Poole drama with more foul calls in their favor. They were fortunate to say the least. He hasn’t been able to win since with Kyrie, which is why he wants Kyrie so bad. All he has since is the bubble win. Question will always be, can he win again. So far, no, not even with AD. They ran into a healthy no-sense team who people slept on and they embarrassed themselves 🧹🧹🧹 despite officiating tryingto help them in game 3 and 4. At least they made the postseason and AD actually stayed healthy besides wheel chair moment.
No one should be proud to be swept in the playoffs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
WILL YALL STOP SAYING THEYRE A BETTER BASKETBALL TEAM PLEASE LIKE ITS SO STUPID WE BARELYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY LOST WHILE ALOT OF OUR GUYS BARELY HELPED AND THEY ACTUALLY COULDVE HELPED UNLIKED DENVERS OTHER GUYS THAT DIDNT HELP!!!!!!!!! SUCH A STUPID NARRATIVE
As a lakers fan they played well we just got beat by a better team and I can live with that.
TRISTAN THOMPSON BALLED OUT HE WILL RE SIGN WITH US I PROMISE!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND IF WE ADD KYRIE KEEP AR KEEP RUI KEEP VANDO KEEP LONNIE KEEP DENNIS AND WENYEN ADD KLOVE KEEP BAMBA GOT AD MAX AND BRON THATS A GREATER TEAM THAN WE HAD
Lakers should be proud of getting destroyed when they have two top 75 players on their team…😂😂😂😂😂
Thank You! Somebody lending respect to this dude in his f***ing 20th year. Dude carried his team ONCE AGAIN and they couldn't even pick him up for 1 damn game. Nuggets look like a very good team, but the failures of AD and Russell at the worst times loom large.
Ive never seen the media celebrate a great player getting swept. Really embarassing coverage
bron showed all time guts last night.. AD should be ashamed with his effort, bron has been trying to pass the torch to him the past 3 seasons but AD simply doesn’t have enough DAWG in him
Finally someone speaking with sense, instead of speaking from a standpoint of pure hatred.
JJ how's your BFF JA?
Denver was a straight up better team and Jokic is the best player on the planet. Lakers can hold their head high.
Lucky Kyrie getting traded for d-Lo, Vanderbilt, reeves.
Badston Smelltics (trying my hand at being annoying)
Lebron put on a show yesterday but the amount of maintenance he goes through as a 38 year old to be physically ready to take on the offense load which comes with a lot of hard fouls on him, then him drawing charges, and the stamina he needs to be able to perform..
Its no mystery to me why hes considering retirement. He can only take so much, and hes a billionaire. And he can make even more money off the court without basketball.
Lebron was seen going to the back several times this season and playoffs to get treatment done just so that he can continue putting that effort.
Problem is, lebron cant have games like he did yesterday that consistently anymore. He used to be able to, on the Cavs and the Heat. But you cant expect him at 38 to continue having those games.
People start saying, why isnt he attacking the basket, why is he shooting so many 3s.. yea attacking the basket wears on you.. he knows each time he does it, his health bar goes down more frequently than it did when he was 32.
And if Lebron cant be consistently great i think he rather go out on top. Hes not going to let himself be a liability/shell of himself on the court .
The best sweep in nba history. Seriously, I have enjoyed pretty much every series so far. Maybe the nets vs sixers series was a bit dull. But otherwise, they were all good. Nuggets were always commin out on top in the west. There was never a reason to think otherwise really. That doesnt mean we cant enjoy a good series. Kings vs warriors series was spicy as hell and i loved every second of it, even tho i didnt think either team could beat denver.
This season was a success. From the 2-10 start, to the Westbrook conundrum, to meshing with all the new faces, to the Play In, through Memphis, past GS, and a series of close games against a team that, I believe, will go on to win the title, and deservedly so.
I say run it back again. Keep Reaves and Rui, they're gonna be big for us. I like Vando. D Lo…meh, he could prove valuable over a long regular season but becomes vulnerable come the playoffs. Don't chase Kyrie or Trae.
Bruh shut up lol I’m sorry
We are proud but it’s championship or bust in Lakerland
Proud of what? Losing? Lmao.. lefraud lebrick lebitch is a quitter. Everything has to go right for him, or he will hide like a turtle. Dudes needs 4 all stars to help him win. Hope he retires. He's not a competitor. Most overrated player ever.
Bron should sign for one year with the Kings
JJ speaks nothing but facts when it comes to 🏀
Man foh
facts. truth is nobody ever woulve believed you iif you told them thye would be in the top 2 of the west just 3 months ago…definitely a successful season. i just hope the young player dont feel like they failed and get in their heads about it because maybe they see lebron being dissapointed. they put out the 2 seed and the defending champs as the 7th seed with only 2 players having rel playoffs experience.thats good to me
Talk about the nuggets stooge. You are nothing but a paid LeBron PR.
LeBroom James in LA for Five Years, and nothing to show for it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Are not healthy guy 38 your old was not able to overcome a young team of healthy stars…. Yes these playoffs have told us LeBron James alone is not enough anymore, if he was the league would be in serious trouble.
Lakers will be dumb not run this group back next season.
How Lakers season began, they reach far and should be proud
