They will count it if lebron aint in it.😂😂😂

Nobody gives a damn about this charade tournament. But go ahead and count this as ring. You won't see the real one ever again. 😂😂

​@@rjadragel😂😂😂

exactly

A total of 2 make believe rings😅

Hell yes

F yes. Just came to post this, and the first comment was this. Taking it to the rack. Pacers meanwhile bricked themselves out of it from the deep.

Yea showing they can do it from both outside and inside in the last few games...looking like a very dangerous team! By the way, the videos on the playlist on my channel might interest some people!

@@Mr8thwonderofthewrld chill out now, this means nothing 😂

This is exactly what I thought. It was a great game to watch for any classic nba fan. It remined the nba from early 00s so much that I wished this game continued into OT.

Its better than the All star games seriously!

Debate is already over after lebron achieved the all time leader in points he is the pure GOAT and still dominating now the entire NBA at his age 39 i think lebron can still be a king even at his age 45! So Mj or Lebron? It is clear 100% Lebron is the real GOAT and he still can make a lot of history records and achievements. This old man is the choosen one by supreme GOD because he is a nice person... Mj is nothing without his dynasty team without pippen rodman harper and his great coach ! It was so hard to make a dynasty team the chemistry is so important Durant try to make dynasty team at Nets and suns Karl malone and steve nash with other star player try to make dynasty team at lakers but no one succeed Only Lebron can make any team to be a contender and championship team without dynasty but if he wanted to heve a dynasty team at MIAMi HEAT he can have more than 6 rings! but he choose his promise to cavs! Lakers after kobe retirement is weak even that team is a trash team before Lebron became a lakers that team is not contender also the cavs without lebron is not contender! CLIPPERS try to make dynasy with 4 star player but now they are failure! ONLY LEBRON PLAYED IN NBA HISTORY AGAINST A LOT OF DYNASTY TEAM !!! Only lebron can make any team contender and that is what makes him special that is what makes him goat of the goat of the goat! MJ is not even close of what lebron achieves on and off the court ! PEOPLE tells that lebron era is weak naaah... it is what stupid people think? Lary Bird era is weak but he sweept Mj two times! prime Karl Malone and Stockton are no match to prime shaq and kobe! today's Nba are so talented how can you compare Reggie Miller to Stephen Curry! Gìannis, K-Town, Zion, Jokic and imbiid is the big man with shooting, assist and handles look at wembenyama how can you compare him to jordan era? People said lebron don't have defense it is clearly only stupid jealousy lebron"s chasedown block is one of nba's player most afraid and that is lebron's trademark! People said lebron era is soft no defense era! if you adjust those 80's-90's era playing at era now Rodman is just an ordinary player without his dirty work and witout rodman bulls are weak! And if you bring lebron to Mj's era he can be more than lebron james now he is like Karl Malone body also MJ and Magic in one body he will destroy everybody even badboy piston how they will stand against that freak? Lebron is so SMART his IQ level was above to all player he will easily adjust his playing style at any era ! How can you compare today's iphone from old telephone everything is upgraded now wake up people!!! Mj's dunk contest is bouring look what gordon and lavine did see that lavine free throw dunk like Mj but he upgrade it with behind the back so easy and effortless? Ja morant can fly more than Mj! Lebron is hardworking guy he never cheat his wife during his workout at other side Mj was playing card at the casino while lebron spend all 40% of his money to a lot of foudation specially at his I PROMESE SCHOOL while Mj was busy spending his money to a lot of women from different club Lebron was so busy for his family being a good father and role model to all young generation while Mj was so busy to buy some expensive shit for his women from club even pippen don't like Mj how can you make that stupid human being a goat? His only talent is to hug the ball all the time hang on the air and fadeaway shot while lebron is all around player he trust his teamate and lebron makes his teamate better because he share the ball MJ is selfish that's why pippen don't like MJ! Lebron longgivity is the result of his hardwork a child with no father to become a GODLIKE person on and off the court people need to realized that nobody in NBA will gonna be like him anymore! Championship rings is not a resume to be a goat because Robert Horry got 7 rings it's about how you manage and to take care your self to be a great player & to be a great human being, how to break any records also how to make a lot of accomplishment and most important how to be a good model that every kids should follow! LEBRON JAMES is more than a goat a thousan times goat he deserve A GOLDEN STATUE and i want to call him the Future GOD of Basketball. Fix your mind people use your mind properly! LEBRON IS STILL PLAYING AT AGE 39 without any sign of slowing his book is not yet closed while MJ is already done! be honest to your self before your JEALOUSY and ENVY kills you! ...period

Lakers size were giving pacers trouble all night

@@Chenrandyliuwhich is crazy cause Myles Turner looked like a shell of who he usually is on the court

Definitivamente lebron es el mejor son 39 y el nivel que tiene es la bujía en el equipo donde juege

yeah, but Lebron couldn't handle the physicality of the 80's right? gtfoh. 🙄

todays game cant handle Lebrons physicality but Lebron couldnt handle 80's physicality they say lmao @@JESS-CH

​@@JESS-CH The guys who are saying stuff like that are boomers who think their period was the best. LeBron flops because he's a product of his time. Had he been born in 1962 or something, he'd have been Jordan's only rival in the 90s

@@JESS-CHI think he could pretty easily buuuut you can’t count this as proof cause he would’ve been tested waaaaay more in the paint if this was the 80’s

Fr. They had Haliburton 🔒 up most of the game. Cam in particular just seems really fast out there. He picked Hali's pocket so clean, but got whistled for the foul.

Defense wins championships.

Maybe if they aren't injured lakers can get at least a game against nuggets no?

Why his stare is so scary? Is it because of the eyebraw?

@@FekalistaGrzybowory-lz8lhintensity

@@FekalistaGrzybowory-lz8lh cos you wouldn't want a 6'10" 250 pounds guy wanting to eat your babies

When AD plays like this, he’s the best big in the league. The problem is we haven’t seen this intensity & motor consistently since the bubble.

He is the real deal Be crossing the piss out of players lol

yessur love the vibes

Yea* if he plays like this in the playoffs they may well win the title! By the way, the videos on the playlist on my channel might interest some people!

I didn't watch so i assumed he did get the MVP. I guarantee you if you swap performances, they'd give Lebron the MVP for the 40 and 20 no matter how he played before, since he showed up "when it mattered". Now it just feels like a script or media bias or something

When Lakers healthy and AD playing like beast this team is really hard to beat

​@@theinkticianI can see you're a little reluctant to see it that way but at least you open up the veil a little. Now look at the schedule, lakers have a losing record outside the tournament. This is narrative, nothing more.

I'm not gonna lie it worked we in middle of Dec all hype for a Lakers Pacers game 😂 Silver rubbing his hands like birdman somewhere ❤🎉

defense wins u game

Defense wins championships

Lakers had 80+ in the paint so that definitely had something to do with it too.

@@John-jm4nv yeah but they also held the no. 1 offensive team in the nba to a 36.8% fg shooting

People think shooting 3s is everything but in reality it's not. Consistency is key. Going for easier shots and playing one hell of a defense gives you that consistency 💪

it was such a fun game to watch defensively and big ups to TJ McConell that guy is just a dog and his hustle plays in the 4th were wild

Lol Pacers were bad

@@velipulla3936 nah the defense was there, LA was having an awesome night. I literally couldn't believe Reaves with the mid-range and layups.

Lack of interior defense,Pacers miss Jalen Smith and also were without Nembhard.Lakers may have still won but those are key Pacer bench players.

Class

lebron just won another bubble ring

@@bamf6603They don’t get a ring..carry on

@@Jry088mane its the modern nba hes going up against the best players in the world the best you can hope for is for him to stay healthy cuz dear god we need him

No, he doesn't. You're parroting false media narrations.

Both Finalist Should Clinch a Playoffs spot Such a fun Week of games We Got ! i like the Pacers a lot lately

Exactly my men 👍🏾

Spot on

This sounds bizarre cause Haliburton is an incredible passers and the strategy you're talking about has been thrown at him plenty of times. The real difference here is that guys didn't knock down shots when they got the ball from him

Yeah in British football your allowed in to the Europa league. So here there should be a benefit for winning too. On season tournament sounds great.

@@theinktician Nah what you're talking about now would be assists. And he still had a lot. However his points were down and he had turnovers. Something that didn't happen against the Bucks poor defensive coverage nor the choking Celtics. So its not magic. What I said is literally what the Lakers did. Some teams may have tried it already, but if they don't have the personnel the Lakers do you'll see a different result. We've seen this with even KD, someone years ahead of Haliburton, when he got swept by Boston in 2022. They had the guys and the game plan to do it.

You sound ridiculous with your words "...it's gonna be weird moving forward...." Why should it feel weird to you? The team you claim to support used the motivation of winning this trophy and securing an incredibly lucrative cash profit to win seven straight games en route to winning today while playing some of their best basketball and making season shaping improvements in team play which could potentially bode well for their title hopes, and you claim it's gonna be weird moving forward? You're Weird! As for your take that winner should be guaranteed play in spot, I think such a rule would be utterly unfair and undermine the high standards of the league because firstly- 1) it's always gonna be 99% likely that the winner of this tournament would be good enough to finish within the automatic playoff position in their conference 2) More importantly it's just impracticable because what happens to the play-in games between teams that finish 7th to 10th? Doesn't make sense.

Nope

This was 1 game elimination the playoffs is 7 games so no

Plus, they played a small team. The Nuggets will sweep you again.

You know he won't 'play like this', so why even entertain that thought? 😊

Not possible, this is just one game, how can AD play like this to win 16 games in the playoffs. Only Shaq can do that in all 16 wins of a playoff game

He learned what happens when you face the King!

Yep he will learn from this tournament but unfortunately for him so will the Celtics and Bucks..

How is this gonna increase his goat case. It’s a new comp MJ never got to play. But u can do is congrats LJ on being 4 1-2-6. He got 1/2 a ring.

bro stop the cap reaves underrated 😂 you talking like hes not in the headlines

@@everydaydose7779 Man's playing like an all-star. 22 points in 12 minutes.

I guees he had that pep talk from Lebron tonight and it worked.... but somehow that energy never translate from a game to another ...

who cares. if you score 40 points in a cup final then your the man. who gives a rats ass what score he gets in some random backwater meaningless game in a months time. tonight was the big game and he bossed it.

@@NeilLewis77 lol so we gonna pretend AD always shows up in big games ? lol...listen I like the guy, and tonight he was the man indeed....... but we know better...

@@NeilLewis77 LOL! Are you new to AD? He is very inconsistent in Playoffs also not just the whole season.

@@joevaldez4889 I'm not new to AD no. Are you new to cups? The cup final is the important one. What AD and the Lakers have just done is the second greatest achievement possible in all of basketball. In the history books it will just say Lakers, LeBron, AD.... Champions. It won't mention that AD had a poor game in some meaningless regular season game a month later. No one's going to remember that shit.

Compare the stats of Lebron and AD, for the last three games. Then tell us again that the MVP is deserved…

This doesn't count as regular season stats???

When voting for best defensive player what AD did here will definately be in the minds of the judges...

goat of bricks and turnovers

Goat of turnovers whaahahhaha

Carried by AD the glass man wahahhaha

Yep and u already got some fish here😂

💪🐐👑💜💛

WTF has your team won in the past years?

facts

Your GOAT lost two finals against Tim Duncan. Timmy beat him 2 - 1 having less acomplished and skilled players in the team than LeSrom

​@@FekalistaGrzybowory-lz8lh2014 he destroyed him with equal chance yeah (Gino and Tp were the best on the court tho)still great, but 2007 You have the trio in his prime + Elite defender Bowen aigainst Lebron by Himself i dont think you can blame lebron on that lost 2014 was a spurs masterpiece tho

He needs at least one more to be GOAT.

Yeah if Davis is consistent 😂😂😂😂 which is never

Goat retired 20 years ago because to do the short version a goat does mostly win not loose it is why they are the goat it is the same in any sport basketball is no different man so totals aka cumulative stats aka about most minutes played ever will not change that it is pretty obvious. 😉

You mean LeSrom, the GOAT of turnovers?

@@fgfdgfdgd-pl4cw LeBron is the GOAT, Jordan is 3rd on the GOAT list behind Kareem. This how I rank them: 1. LeBron 2. Kareem 3. Jordan. The truth is Jordan missed more shots than he made, he shot under 50% for his career.

If only he could play like that every night.

I'm glad he showed up. But man, when lebron is oit the floor they dont know whT to do.

​@@monkeboii6115I mean not even Shaq gave you 40 and 20 every night. He needs to not have games where he only scores 14 points with single digit rebounds

Sure thing bro... good to see atleast 1 countryman ...hapa kenya wasee hucheki tu futa... im always alone talking about b ball😂

This have nothing to do with finals. This more like the FIba world cup where they receive medals not rings. Lakers should hang this banner up and put medal on it for it won't confused with actual championship banner make it its own identity.

@John-jm4nv so we shouldnt celebrate it???? We know what the in season tournament is. Dude.

yeap but if other would teams would have won they be like congratulating them 😂

Proving them wrong would have been if they'd lost

🤞🏽

They just need to knock down 3's and they can win it. You can't win every night without 3's.

They have the same team who got swept last playoffs so I dont think so

@@velipulla3936 yes they kept their core squad while also picking up players in the offseason
