Credit to Adam Silver, to plan a bubble securely and safely under pressure is just amazing
Actually it was TK Kirkland that suggested the bubble to Adam Silver.
Would avary bradly get a ring 🤔
TYB Freshman yes he should tbh
I love and prefer the bubble aenas more than the regular arenas.
@@fadumoyusuf121 yeah he is
"LeBron, how do you feel after winning your 4TH CHAMPIONSHIP"
Bron:Job's not finished
*grabs the belt and heads to his house*
Original
🤣🤣🤣 Bronny 💀
😂😂😂😂
I swear these top comments are just becoming recycle of top comments from other ESpN videos.
Ya, cause he knows he's gotta run 3 more championships to even be considered in a conversation about being greater than Michael Jordan.
This is officially the end of the great Patrick "3-peat" McCaw era.
Now its time for Danny Green 😎
Would avary bradly get a ring 🤔
@@fadumoyusuf121 yes him & cousins
@@fadumoyusuf121 yes
Kill Bill4x and Troy Daniels
Everyone keeps saying LeBron was lucky that he didn’t have to face Clippers. I say the Clippers were lucky
Right
Why Bother the warriors can’t beat a healthy bron team without Kd it’s a proven fact
GSW has beaten LeBron without KD. Wym dawg?
Alvaro Fernandez re read it, I said can’t beat a “healthy bron team” without Kd
The Clippers aren't even in the conversation.
We need to show some love and respect to Rondo, my goodness he balled out, what a leader too!
Yep Rhondo is also s great player
My man rondo got him a chip and then dipped😂
There is no Lebron in LA without Magic
Fact!
You can say what you want -- but you Better Believe that!!!
Yep you got that right!!!
💯💯💯
Without magic the Lakers only have 12 rings
Thank you Magic! LBJ would've never came to LA without you.
Fact not feelings!
Not really, LeBron already wanted to come to LA because he has a home and businesses in LA.
He would have come either way
@@josecarranza7555 Lebron said hisself. If Magic wasn’t in the office, he’s not in the uniform. He had everything he needed in Cleveland. But for LA to get him, they needed everything he wanted. If anything Bron would’ve went back to the Heat.
Jose Carranza - People said the same about Kawhi Leonard and Paul George...
He complimented everybody but kuzma😭😭😭
Kuzma didn't live up to the hype. He gone
Kuzma, was trash this playoffs... he's a great player but he didn't fall thru
He's going to be traded lol watch
@@fightnight14 I hope so
@@sharonbutterflythompson1036 only a matter of time
Man mad love to Magic but let’s not forget be came on national television last summer and threw the Lakers organization under the bus and called Rob Pelinka a snake 😂
I'll never forget how Max said Kobe was trying to sabotage the Lakers from behind the scenes SMH
@@MrGenexxx he legit said that?? Wow
MrGenexxx He didn’t say that
He said that Kobe’s contract ruined like 4 years for the Lakers which it did from 2013-2016
@@peterjo5215 no no no. He legit said Kobe was doing damage behind the scenes pulling Pelinka strings. It's not about the contract. Look it up.
Cz he is.
KD and Kyrie are logging into all their burner accounts right now just to hate on the GOAT! 😂😂😂
They're in the gym getting their chemistry right nice reach though.
as much as i like Nash, they are not winning next season....call me a cupcake & flat hater
@@august6281 the problem is going to kyrie I can see it
@@august6281 nah you no hater. The reality is that Steve Nash is a first time HC even if he has KD and Kyrie at his disposal to go with a really good supporting cast. Miami's run showed that the East is tougher than it appears and it will by no means be a comfortable run to the Finals for the Nets. They could make it to the Finals and maybe even win but not gonna be easy
@@august6281 I agree I dont see them getting past the bucks,celtics or heat but theyll do some good things in the regular season
Everybody forgot about avery bradley lol
Oh right lol. The Lakers are going to get him back next season.
That is the good news, because Danny Greene is not doing so well. I like both Avery and Danny, glad they got a championship. Even though I was not routing for them lol
Paco A Avery opted out but he’s returning next season
Avery has a player option too. I don't see him opting out of 6 Million and especially since he didn't opt in the bubble.
he woulda gotten a ring even if miami won too cuz he started the season on they roster LMFAO
Incredible how they overlooking the Bald Mamba. We’re taking his greatness for granted. The GOAT himself Alex Caruso.
Scalabrine is better then Caruso tho
Peter Smith That’s a tuff one man. That’s what ESPN should be debating
I love Caruso they better keep him
He's a glue player
@Ray Jefferson on baby scalabrine was cold
Andrew Chin - Absolutely, his defense is on another level
I hope Rondo stays next season and Lakers really need to build that bench.
Corrrect
Rondo can take over a game without doing much. The brother is magic.
They have get better shooter's
Rondo has a player option. He will opt out test the market.
As long as Lebron is a Laker so will Rondo.
Magic should get a ring too, he got Lebron to come to the lakers and everything else followed
Deez Nuts lol nice pun
Magic probably got a ring you think I think
such a positive guy magic is.
Goat comment 👍
LeBron has nothing but haters out there since he joined the Association. He continues to prove them wrong.
Congrats to the "King" and the Lakers!!!
Jordan bout to hit us with another documentary😂
Why would he care most people say he's the goat
Beast 123 cause he did the same thing when lebron won his last chip
More unreleased footage bout to drop lmao
lol. right.
Media: Lebron wins his 4th title!
Jordan: "I took that personal"
Lebron James
John Salley
Danny Green
Rob Horry
*Win a title with three different franchises.*
Erik, don't forget Robert "Big Shot" Horry has 7 rings.
Peace
Wow. Im only 31 but I've watched all 4 of those guys play for the Lakers lol.
Steve Kerr too if you considered him in Warriors bench
@@carljefferygivings799
Who says I forgot? The point is that he has at least one ring with 3 franchises.
Peace.
If LeBron wins another championship, he’ll be tied with Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant with 5 rings
You are great at math
Then it will be no doubt that LeBron James will be the 2nd Greatest Ever Behind MJ Maybe The GOAT. LeBron will have 5 Rings , 5 MVPS , 5 Finals MVPS , 36,000 Career Points , 10,000 Career Rebounds , 10,000 Career Assists....
Lebron most likely will never get a regular season MVP. Hes getting older now hes not going to give it his 100% in regular season, only in playoffs he will go hard.
@CH13F G yeah nope
Corey Graham he already is in the 2 best players of all time. The debate is who is 1st, but the top two players debate has been over for years...
Congratulations King James and his crew, a job well done. King James said he would and he delivered 🙌. King James real 🐐 MVP and a great person inside and out as displayed
Rocc 2020 😐
He pretty much guaranteed a championship and that's exactly what he delivered...in his first full season with the Lakers is amazing.
Congrats to the Lakers, they deserve it, Lebron James will be remembered for a long time.
FOREVER
Shout out to the female COVID 19 tester's making private hotel visits to the players during the bubble. 🤣🤭🏆
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
You pay for prostitution. Millionaires with wives and children during covid don’t.
Anthony Proctor lies. You seen what happen to House. LeBron is married and didn’t participate in affairs
COMMENT OF THE DAY
That's classified you idiot
Talk about someone that doesn't hold a grudge, Magic is the epitome of class.
Kobe would’ve gone crazy. He is looking down so proud
He sold Kobe out so he can get this ring this year... think about it. Kobe didn’t know...
@@courtw3231 u haters really be saying the dumbest sht just to hate. Holy fk ur so stupid
Vishnoo Ravi God likes the humble and not prideful idols like Kobe and Lebron. I guess you all are getting the vaccine 💉 too? Frontline workers using placebo vaccines or no vaccine at all injecting a needle for show. Satan serum
Thank you Magic for getting the Lakers back on a Championship path!
Magic is genuine entertainment
I hope and pray the Laker Organization gets Magic a ring because without him this championship would not be possible.
I'm sure Magic Johnson doesnt care he has 5 rings
Man, it would've been sweet if Magic was still in the front office!
This chip wouldn't have happened if Magic were still in the front office. Like MJ, he was a great player, but that doesn't mean they can coach or manage a team (or host a talk show).
Agreed, the commissioner achieved a something that the US president couldn’t
100% The most incompetent President in our livetime with 217,000 Americans dead and 40,000,000 unemployed.
D Cho - would you expect the president to put everyone in a bubble? Or China’s way of lockdown where they bolt your door shut from the outside?
@@aaronhoang080 You have no defence for the most incompetent President in our lifetime 40,000,000 million unemployed and 217,000 dead Americans on his resumed and he have the audacity to want to be reelected for 4yrs
@Thomas S The only karen is your mother and sister.
Fiona Day how is this his fault?
Magic is always such a positive brother 💜💛 salute
I’m so glad this season is over because now they can go home and be safe and be proud.👍🏾
It's always a pleasure to hear Magic talking.
The Lakers should try to get a 3rd option like Oladipo this season to repeat
“If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”
Too injury prone
Devin Booker would be better
Nah Danny brick shot is broke he needs to go
Kuz need to get in the gym. If he start hittin like duncan robinson its wrap
I remember last year Magic was the kicking boy concerning his leadership. Amazing how winning can erase a person's memory.
Magic should have stayed GM would have been even more special congrats to the Lake Show!
NBA is the best sports league in the world. I hope the NFL takes notes.
This all kicked off 3 yrs ago when magic became president in February 2017. Magic deserves a ring just as much as anyone on that roster. I know he bailed on us last yr but he still had a hand in it
Facts. But also Magic has 5 rings so I'm sure he's fine with that😂
Magic left to tamper without tampering if you catch my drift *wink wink nudge nudge*
Part owner of the Lakers, Magic Johnson ring is on its way.
Magic will definitely get a ring
Nope you wrong Magic Johnson doesnt deserve a ring more then anyone on roster
LeBron James does because if he didn't come to Lakers nobody else was coming they was struggling to get and attract free agents
LeBron James coming turn whole Lakers around and brought Anthony Davis with him
LeBron James was coming to Lakers even without Magic Johnson there
Magic Johnson just met with him
LeBron James deserves ring more then even Magic Johnson
Magic Johnson got lazy and didnt want to put in the work and Rob Pelinka exposed some of this and which is why he quit
Jeanie Buss was gonna fire Magic Johnson I believe and he know it and quit
I dont mind Magic Johnson getting a ring but dont say he deserves it more then anyone
Magic Johnson a top 5 all time player and greatest Laker ever
But Magic Johnson had flaws he thought he could just half step and not put work in and Rob Pelinka was giving information to Kobe Bryant about it I believe
And Kobe Bryant 100% about hard work maybe told Jeanie Buss about this
Earvin "Magic" Johnson. I love that man!
Always a class act. Thank you for giving a Championship nod to our dearly departed 'Big Three'. Koby Bryant, Dr. Jerry Buss, and the legendary Chick Hearn.
Keep it a buck it may have been messy and he could've done better but Magic laid the groundwork for all this happen and Rob took it to the finish line
You're talking about a guy that came into the NBA fresh out of high school. He shouldered that responsibility beautifully, with tremendous grace he not only met but exceeded expectations. Made it to his first nba finals at the age of 22, and if it wasn't for a subpar organization, he maybe would have won a championship or two in his first run in Cleveland. Then he accomplished his goal and dream and won a championship at 27. He brought the Miami Heat 2 championships. Brought a championship to the Cleveland Cavaliers for the first time and fullfiled his promise. Then he opened up a school in his hometown with the promise of a college scholarship for graduates. That last one I believe is his greatest achievement. Now he is third all time in scoring....and he isn't even about scoring. Now he's going to add to it, by winning his fourth championship, his third with a different team, and bringing a championship back to the Lakers. LeBron James; the greatest of all time. I'm telling you man, appreciate this, witness this, because we won't see it again for a long time.
One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates.
Congratulations La Lakers 2020 Coach Frank Vogel you the man!!!!
One thing about Frank Vogul he always been a good defensive head coach even in Indiana with Pacers his team was top 10 in points per game defense
With Frank Vogul at head coach the Lakers ranked 3rd in points per game defense this season
Brought that to Lakers and defensive wins championships
Magic and ESPN analyst is reaching by repeatedly mentioning about Magic recruiting Lebron. Lebron was going to the Lakers either way even if Magic was GM or not. It was a business move.
False. La front office was a joke before magic and rob got there. Magic had everything to do with closing the deal.
ProtargetBBH it was a move to win championships, La is an attractive place to get another superstar, business would have been a factor but you can’t just call it a business move when he’s just won his chip
@@MB-yn8mv this comment was so foolish
@@jewelm1918 yeah you saw what happened when her brother was running the team
@@MB-yn8mv lakers did not have any of those except large market when magic was appointed. Props to him, jeanie and rob in clearing up the cap space, creating trade-able assets and waiting for the right time to go for the right free agents.
Gotta give magic johnson some credit too. He helped bring Lebron to LA. ✊🏽🏀💯
stability helps unlike the Knicks
Every time I see magic Johnson I think of DJ Meech's nba voice overs
Ong I thought i was the only one
Magic Johnson is very very humble player godbless you idol💜💛🏆
3-1 comeback or Bubble championship?
Both impressive but hands down for me the 3-1 comeback man I mean not only is it the first and only one in the finals, but Lebron took down the bullies man and I’ll be honest that one championship is what made me really respect Lebron.
It was the hardest championship We had To win So glad to be a part of lakers nation love from portmore Jamaica 🇯🇲
Thanks Magic
“The Lakers gone repeat”
-Magic Johnson 10/12/2020
Why does Magic look like he's a preacher lol
He doesn’t, that’s something that is in your mind.
Ryan Mitchell how did he get aids ? Boyfriend or girlfriend...
darryl motley - Why, are you wondering if you have a shot? Forget it, he’s happily married. 😂
Because he has something to sell.
It’s a normal arc for black men
L.A. Lakers, 2020 NBA Champions. Thank You, 💜💛💜
It’s great to see Magic so positive all the time
I see what you did there
He survived that.
Thank you Magic and Kareem!! They understand that 2 black men can be great at the same time on the same team in the same era!!! Congratulations 🎉
Magic kinda look like Barney even doe Shannon owns that
He was with his boyfriend talking about cookie
Peep how magic said greatest in the world not greatest of all time hes said who his was (everyone has their goat respect greatness rather than hate on great players magic is one of the NBA goats)
Dear Magic, you were the pioneer who inspired all that included Kobe and now Lebron and others to feel special. Hope lebron repaeats your and pat Raleigh slogan THree peet !
Pat Riley
Max be trying his hardest not to laugh 🤣🤣
Have you notice last year when raptors won they gave credit to all he warriors players and talked how hard they played and yet not 1 word about Miami Heat and how hard they played and even not mention jimmy butler who was the 2nd best player in the finals
Magic Johnson 🥰 my favorite player ⛹️♂️. Congratulations 🎊🎉 to my favorite team for their great triumph 🏆🏆🏆.
I woke up this morning smiling like you did too on the thumbnail magic. Ol' GOAT James!
So Magic is taking credit for the asterisk ****** championship
5:02 magic kept that uncomfortable smile in his face 😂😂😂
AAADDDS ON THA WAY!😂😂😂💪🏾
Props to Vogel too. Brilliant job adjusting and counteradjusting throughout the playoffs. Game 6 of the NBA Finals, he inserts Caruso into the starting lineup, unveiling our death lineup at last. Checkmate.
Hey man, we a group of high school students who run our own sports talk show called Buzzer2Buzzer and we talked about these Finals and the Lakers winning the chip last night. Would highly appreciate any support!
We gotta just mark generational goats f everything else
Then give Steph his cause he cost Bron like 3 or 4 and KD and Klay and K. Leonard give them theirs to can’t be a double standard
TheBTranz nah steph my dude tho
Facts you can’t compare generations because the talent level differs every generation. These guys playing right now are the most skilled ever (KD, steph, harden, etc.) so it makes it much harder for lebron to be dominant.
@@TheBTranz please KD's a *FRAUD*
@@TheBTranz you cant beacuse lebron still ended with more so basically lebron did dominate his era by winning more than them do they have more rings than him no
Thank you Magic!!! 18X championships!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Time to reeeeeepeat.
LeBron is the GOAT, how many times does he have to prove it. People discredit him for making it to more finals than MJ and going against the best team in NBA history. I will never understand it, but people gotta start showing LeBron the respect he deserves. My next VIDEO will talk about why he's the GOAT. Tune in.
LBJ boldly stuck his neck out and promised the Lakers a championship....AND he delivered a championship. It's nothing short of miraculous, and is a testimony to his greatness !!
So other laker fans do y’all like lebron now after he brought us number 17 😂😂😂
A little
@@clintonbowers1147 what do u mean a little
Magic should get a ring for bringing Bron to LA
So Lewoke beat a undrafted rookie heat team... Wow what a legacy.
Look what that undrafted rookie team did to the east 😂😂
Congrats to Magic and Laker Nation. That was an impressive playoffs and a dominant finish to win this title. King James + AD is an all-time great duo.
Would avary bradly get a ring 🤔
Pelinka confirmed that he is.
Avery Bradley still gets counted as NBA champion even tho he didnt come to bubble he was still on Lakers roster because they didnt release him off team
Good Vision Magic, I take off my hat. We have a good team. I hope we could repeat it next year. Keep well Bron, you are the Man! Big Hug Lakers!
LEBRON IS NOT THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME.. HSS NEEDED WADE, KYRIE AND AD TO WIN A TITLE....LEBRON MISSED PLAYOFFS LAST YEAR, THEY GET AD AND WIN A TITLE...STOP THE LEBRON GOAT. 4-8 IN FINALS. JORDAN 6-0
Okay and who did curry need...Who was Jordan’s sidekick......LeBron was hurt for most of last year... And also LeBron is 4-6 in the finals
So we gonna ignore the vital roles that Pippen played in the Bulls 3peats- both 3peats for that matter. Without Pippen there is no 6-0 Finals record. Even other role players like Kerr, Kukoc, Paxson and of course the defensive menace that was Rodman all helped MJ go 6-0. Love MJ or not but he needed all those players else he would not have had the scale of success he enjoyed
Hush hater!
ESPN should write a major feature and do a doc on Jeannie. She may very well be the biggest hero in this story, and yet she's mentioned as a footnote.
As a Mavericks fan. Magic Johnson talking about basketball gives me peace idk why
Magic has the smile of America
Gotta watch this every now and then
"Congratulations will always be louder than 'I support you"... How true is that with Jinnie Buss, Rob Pelinka, LeBron, and the whole Lakers team and Organization. Look, I ain't no Laker fan nor a LeBron fan, but people need to stop the hate and disrespect. THERE IS NO ASTERISK IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM IN THIS CHAMPIONSHIP!!! Everyone went through the same Bubble, everyone had the same circumstances, it just so happened that it was the Lakers who came out on top and claimed the championship. I hope everyone understands that and stop these ugliness for the last 3 days where hate and disrespect has been rampant.
I said this the moment the title was over they the best 2 players in the world at least together
KCP on the ball defense was a thing of beauty
Props to Magic for getting Lebron & AD here
Adam Silver and the NBA put together an incredible season. Meanwhile the NFL is having positive test left and right even tho they have had a long time to prepare themselves
Lakers4Life They just too sweet #17
All Credit to LAL GM Rob Palinka for this badass roster. GET IT!
Great Job on the recruiting Magic!
6:42 oh so it was Rob's idea to sign Danny Green
They did magic dirty
Nah, he wouldn't trade for Davis.
My #1 Mentor !!!!!! If anything ever happens to you !!!!! May God Always Bless You 🙏🙏🙏💯 I Think apart of me would Die Too !!!!!! Real Talk !!!! Because You Give Me Hope 🙏 to Always 🙏🤗 Fight !!!!Thank You !!!!!! Mr Magic Johnson !!!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🤗
" The Last Dance before The First Dance after The Second Dance" about to drop!
The NBA Finals was on?
I hope they give magic a ring
Remember when people watch basketball. One thing the athletes today don't have is class.
funny how it always starts at the top when it comes to teams being successful the Knicks & Cowboys should take notes
Magic Johnson is a God..
Magic Johnson is só about marketing everything that is associated with the lakers.
4:18 - 4:25 Someone please help Magic out -Proition- ...I think he means fruition. LOL, its all good Magic we understand. Job well done. Congratulations.
Carrying that Cavs team to a championship against the Warriors and winning after being down 3-1 was the toughest championship for Lebron. Zero doubt on that.
