I’m a hooper and it wasn’t 100%. Same as somebody winning a chip in any other shortened or abbreviated season. It ain’t the same. Sorry.

@@Iamhimbutyouarenot Thank you, that chip is trash. No wear and tear of the season, no pressure from the home crowd. If they think it was so legitimate how come Bron hasn't sniffed another Finals since?

[@strmshadow8411]

@@YouReallyDontKnow Playoffs aren't about a even playing field though. You literally took everything that made sport fun, exciting and difficult to just set these guys up in the YMCA.... It's all about the wear and tear of the regular season, the pressure of winning with and against home field advantage and being able to win. There's no pressure in pick up basketball, that's why you try to win a high seed.

Funny how fans will say “it was easy, the bubble ring doesn’t count” but the PLAYERS WHO ACTUALLY PLAYED say it was harder or atleast just as hard to win.. and that’s coming from guys who have won “normal” championships prior to it.

Steven Adam’s was asked if it was “difficult” and he said relax it’s not that big of a deal we were in a damn resort. It’s was not real playoffs/finals basketball. Typical LeBron/Laker fan trying hype some shit up to elevate him. No travel easier on the body and no home/away court challenges/advantages to deal with. So miss me with the BS.
