The Lakers just have too many fair weather fans. Sure they have a lot of lifers too but the fair-weather fans love to flood other teams' forums and talk shit during the good years and then disappear otherwise. That's really given your fanbase a black eye.

Although I appreciate the props to the Spurs....LOL at winning 10 in a row if the Spurs weren’t there. I guess he just forgot 04 happened huh? I suppose I would try to erase that ass raping/failure from my mind as well

[Laker_1995]

If only TD would have been a laker when Shaq left lol. Shit Kobe would have 6 rings minimum.

[phxspurfan]

If the Lakers weren’t the Lakers, Spurs would have won a shit ton more too

And Mexicans wouldn't be crying about "stolen land" if they could win wars against armies that have guns and not just some jabrone natives that bent over for them.

Agreed. Lots of bandwagons too.

I know he's exaggerating for effect, but the revisionist history with the Lakers and Spurs is unbelievable.

The Spurs swept them in '99, then returned virtually the same team in '00 only to not have a chance to repeat due to Duncan tearing his meniscus and missing the playoffs. In '03, they beat them handily in the closeout game on the road and if not for the league screwing them in '04 (since it's not possible to catch, turn and shoot, even in one motion, in .4) in the penultimate game, they more than likely would have again.

Afterwards, they lose Malone and Payton and add no notable replacement. In '05 Ginobili becomes a star, then in '06 Parker does. O'Neal was past his prime by then and no longer a star by '08 and they had no notable prospects. Even the load of crap they traded for Gasol, some, if not all, isn't even on the team if O'Neal still is.

They were done. You could argue maybe they eke out 1 more from '05-'07, but with O'Neal fading, this being the closest the biggest 3 came to a collective prime and the Spurs matching up well in general, it's highly unlikely.

You've been here all along. You're almost an honorary Spurs fan.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Honestly 5. Same as he won in real life.

1999 - Kobe was too young, they wouldn't have gotten past the Blazers that year. They barely did in 2000 by the skin of their teeth.

2003 - The Lakers were too tired by that point. The Mavs would have beat them in 5 at most.

2013 - Kobe was on the sideline

[HarlemHeat37]

Why is there this dumb narrative about Kobe and Shaq winning a bunch of titles of they had stayed together? It's one of the worst in the recycled NBA takes category:lol.

Why do people ignore that the final title of their 3-peat needed a FIXED GAME in a series that went 7? They shouldn't even have won 3, let alone 10.
