I dont really think to myself that asterisks in the way people talk about them exist. Every single championship in nba history was affected by injury, lockouts or some major factor that could've altered how the finals played out. The bubble to me was as weird as it sounds one of my favorite forms of basketball to watch because it was just hooping at the highest level and it got so many of my favorite players paid because of how they hooped. It extended the careers of many nba players and it was in a sense a blessing to players who suffered injuries like Steph, KD, and Kyrie. I could've only imagined what KD Curry and Kyrie wouldve done in the bubble, probably have some 50 bombs in the playoffs, but from the way I see it, if all teams are on an equal playing field, it should simply come down to the better team winning. The bubble to me also put into perspective just how damn good nba players are. Without any fans or any external distractions just hooping i saw what happens when literally hooping was these players lives for three months. I do get that its the furthest from healthy for the mental and i understand why pg said it was hard for him to play but just the level of basketball was so high.

I never understood this narrative. We're talking about a season where players had plenty of time to rest and then get back to game speed. We didn't have any superteams, just superstar duos. The teams were healthy and rested, home court advantage wasn't a thing so it just came down to getting the W. I think all the hate about this ring is only happening because LeBron and the Lakers won it. If ANY other team had won, the narratives and storylines would be very different. In my opinion, this is on paper the most balanced playoffs we have ever witnessed and the best team won. No major injuries, no fatigue, no home court advantages or distractions, just pure basketball.

Literally why they got players like KCP, Brown and Gordon and with Jokic becoming actually one of the better big man defenders they won a chip quite soon after.

Even Kawhi and George was not comparable and would mostly be an equal match bc Kawhi is the best playoff performer when healthy. But honestly what time was better than the Lakers?

Cavs shade wont be tolerated

I like that Dom described it as a setup. Screwed if you do, screwed if you don't. Unwarranted criticism for the circumstances if you win, criticism if you lose. What are you supposed to do, though? Lose? It sucks but the bubble did not disappoint those who actually watched it.

After they just won 2 with KD, they discount 2015 cause Kyrie got injured.. if he won this 'discounted' chip, man they would talk so much stuff about him, like they still do now, even tho he earned his chips, if you actually look at it, especially the last one.

The battle of Los Angeles already happened in 1942. The Clippers are not getting past the first round though.

Outside of the Lakers who else has said that the bubbleship was the most difficult? Clippers and Bucks didn't want to be there as well as the majority of players. I didn't like it being brought back.

2015 season os just a regular 82 game season you know that injured players or not

He trying to get a raise 🤣🤣🤣 with this statement

ALL FACTS

Wouldn't no crowd make it naturally easier too score???

Raptors back to back with Kawhi no questions asked

Bro it’s been almost 5 years 😂

As long as I’m living and breathing and I got a voice you will here me say that the bubble ring don’t count Period.

maybe Denver doesn't need to come down from 3-1 down lol... ever think of that? to say back to back 3-1 comebacks haven't happened isn't a fair way to discredit the bubble

The problem is it was a finals that should never of happened

nigga what are you even talking about?? The Lakers or Heat shouldn’t have been a Finals or the Season should’ve just been canceled?

To say the bubble championship doesn’t count is disingenuous yes. The the flip argument of that, that the bubble championship is the hardest championship of all time is hall of fame dickriding we all know that’s not true at all

The 2023 Cavs and the 2023 Kings have not a player like Jimmy or Nikola, even using the consideration of Nikola and Jimmy we had back in 2020

The bubble final 4 have legitimately proven they have been the best since 2020 barring injuries. If anything, the 2021 season is the question mark. Bucks, Hawks and Clippers, Suns being the final 4 with the shortest off season ever is highly questionable

Bubble was true basketball in highest form It was like a professional AAU game😂😂💀

LeBron gets more shit for the 2020 title than kawhi gets for blowing the 3-1 lead.

Idc what they say the clippers would’ve won they’d still be having a parade in LA for it

Ya no I viewed the heat and nuggets in 2020 the same way I do in 2023

Just watching that pass from one of the Morris twins to lebron and how he went left and then reversed jelly off glass .....and people still have doubts yall know it's easier to play without a crowd , that means those guys who were playing was at the top of their game I don't wanna hear it ,if the clippers or miami would've won it would be a different story

Idc what nobody says Anthony Davis wouldn’t have made it through that season without that break in between That was just the rest he needed to power through playoffs

I admire his CANDOR, by mentioning Steph in the "what if convo in the bubble" just proves that Steph to him is a THREAT to his BOY(LBJ23) and Steph is Living Rent Free in his HEAD. 😂😂😂

The empty arena woulda felt weird, just hearing EVERYTHING

I remember hearing players yell and cuss like crazy the first couple of games that I watched. Afterwards they either said something to them or they turned the volume down lol
