Facts....It's getting old u didn't win by yourself...Chuck tried his best

[@dannynhl9441]

Penny helped him get to the finals in 1995 and Horace Grant, Kobe and company and Wade was the main player for him in Miami. Shaq got his best wins when Ewing, Robinson and company were retired and Hakeem was well past prime. Shaq always jealous. Started with Penny and the media calling Orlando Penny's team during season he started out hurt and so forth. Still great years but over the 4 ring thing too. Teamball wins. Jordan never beat the great 1980's NBA East teams due to 0 help.

[@ytalchemy]

4 rings are 4 rings, They end the argument. It's why we play sports. Gold medals are better than silver are better than bronze. Gold medals (Shaq) are better than zero medals (Chuck). Guys who win the gold medals know more about the sport than guys who never won one.

Remember when D.Howard was with Lakers, this Joker wasn’t the problem, once Joker knew that Dwight Howard is gone, Joker started his signature on Lakers to beat the lights out. Dwight Howard was a nightmare on Joker. Lakers never recovered since Dwight left.

Yes, it's over. All the Nuggets problems many analysts are just discovering were there against the Lakers. Their winning just covered it up. They won 2 of the 4 games with Murray's last shots. The Lakers blew up 15+ lead points in 2 or 3 of the games. Almost in all the four games, the Lakers were in front till the last 3 minutes. Denver just managed to be exceptional in the last 3 minutes of those games. If the Lakers had a little bit better defense, they would have knocked out Denver. The series is over.
