@@ThrifterGuy disagree. There’s obviously some financial incentive going on behind the scenes. Maybe it’s more about Lebron than the Lakers specifically and it’s a Clutch Sports thing.

The margins that the Lakers lost in the Western Conference finals last year, will be made up for this year with the roster changes and the starting five having to develop such good chemistry. Last year, the Western Conference finals were very close, and although it was a sweep, The Lakers are playing at a different level, different different level of confidence, and LeBron James is obviously the greatest player of all time.

Lebron said the politic thing, which is fine. But this is just another demonstration that all his career, he just never showed the same (perhaps overly vaunted) "killer mentality" or competitive fire that players like Jordan, Kobe, and the 80s stars like Magic and Bird famously had, players who DID have grudges or even invented them for motivation. Those players didn't play "worse" with emotion, but possibly better. Lebron just isn't made up the same way, and it's fine. He doesn't need to talk up a crapstorm, just needs to perform better this time. Winning is the best revenge.

What LeBron is basically saying is focus on "the game"(in a diplomatic sort of way to your point). Yet, he's very strategic at playing mind games with the media and fellow opponents. Essentially, he's inviting Denver to get themselves round up on beating them that they completely underestimate the Lakers and lose. What MJ and Kobe exhibited in playing certain teams was added emotional motivation to win. Bron's answer to the reporters is telling "us" that LA is dead in the water when in reality they're game planning for the Nuggets more than it would be the other way around.

Making it personal is what drives GOATs to rings. Reporters compared Drexler to Jordan, he took that personal. Barkley got the MVP in 93’ what happened in that series? Brady and bellicheck would take everything personal, how many rings was that? Kobe had to hear how he only won because of shaq, and that was his motivation to win 2 more. True GOATs can use it as a driving force to win. If it isn’t personal the series is already over, because it just shows the lack of competitive nature they have. Nuggets for the gentlemen’s sweep
