Ain’t no gotdamn LeBron Status fam lol. I just look at it like this. The NBA is their primary job. It’s literally their job to make sure their body is able to perform…..their job. Gary Harris is my guy. He’ll always be a Nugget to me and I hate that injuries derailed his career. He still “street clothes 2.0” tho.

The lack of empathy comes from people that work physical 12-16 hour shift, jobs 261+ days a year and they look someone who plays 6 months out the Year with few back-to-backs, play 30 minutes out a game that last 2 1/2-3 hours. Now, I know there‘s other things like practice and workout sessions but the average fan don’t see that so they’re going to judge off what they see.

This is what it looks like to me when most sports fans criticize athletes for their durability:

Disney world bubble championship do not count. It was like playing in space Jam 3 while dick riding Mike for a second time.
Unfortunately some basketball "Fans" don't understand basketball and basketball competition.

Basketball in the bubble was a situation where teams could only focus on basketball and there were no home or away advantages.

Just one team against the other to see who was the best, and we're sorry for you that Boston didn't win.

The players even stated that it was the most difficult.







NBA players understand how hard it was and respect it, but 5 years later you casuals are still saying the same wrong bullshit.

That too.

But it was not this decade regardless— whether you count the asterisk season or not, Steph has more championships in each decade.

Nobody else had a chance to win?

It disproportionately benefited older injury-prone players and was not equivalent to an 82 game season followed by 4 playoff series. If you cut games took a big ass break before the playoffs every season, you’d have had different champions in a LOT of seasons.

It was more like an in-season tournament with series than a regular NBA title.

That was exactly the issue. It was not a normal season. To win championship you need to play on others court. The Lakers bubble championship was like a scientific test...it was not a real NBA season or playoffs. All other championship you need fly around and there is where the hard part is. The bubble championship was guys staying in their rooms before and after games. But yeah casuals would not understand.

People fuck me up with those '.... in NBA history, random pulled outta their ass stats'

I'm personally ready to retire the phrase, 'in NBA history,' from the discussion. It's been overused to the point of being completely useless.

Kinda like calling something 'EPIC!!' in 2025. At a time when everything is described as epic, nothing ends up being so :dunno:

The players who played in the games have spoken.

The championship can have an asterisk, just like a shortened season has because it was a different set of circumstances.

So the Spurs chip has an asterisk?

I co sign that if true

But then I would also do that to donaghy officiated games.
