Yea, it is Lakers Exceptionalism and nothing else. Not even the Celtics are on that pedestal and that's why I never bought the idea of the Warriors becoming another pet/brand franchise for the NBA. Post-Curry Golden State will be more post-Jordan Chicago than another Lakers. I would argue the Clippers with Ballmer's deep pockets will give them a run for their money and relevancy in Cali alone..

. I'm all in on the Hawks '25 pick. Blazers, Philly and even Chicago have a chance to jump them up if they keep sliding like this. It is why tonight game is huge. Need to keep their bad vibes going after they squeaked out a win vs Detroit..
