Thank You everyone for all the support on this video! As you can probably guess this video took forever to make and to see so many people enjoying it is the best feeling in the world. Also the start of the Intro might seem a little funky and that's because we originally had a longer intro but the song we used was copyrighted so we had to trim it in the CZcams Editor. Sorry for that but thank you everyone again for the support!
ratiooo
LMAO THAT THUMBNAIL XD
Fall season and the NBA season 2023 are you update with the new “DA rules” 🧶🐭
Dude I love this style of documentary/video where it's basically an edited conversation, almost like a podcast, instead of reading a script.
For what the bubble needed to be, it was perfect.
Absolutely so underrated and underappreciated imo
It really was. We were all home and staying inside or just with Family. And having a finals I could actually invest in and watched through and through. Brought me closer to basketball
No negative test .
@@saturnhawk6115And yet the lowest viewership ever...
@VojkanTrifunovic they've been on a downward slope for years dude. It's sad, 2021 only had about a million or so more
Crazy how people say the bubble ring wasn’t real and now almost 3 years later we have the bubble conference finals again
Yeah
And being sweep proves that the ring was a flop.
@@thedavechozet nah you're tripping hard
Yes age doesn’t play a factor shut up.
And the lakers still can't win a ring to validate their mickey mouse ring😂
I know a lot of people say that the bubble was the weakest championship in NBA history, but like the Covid protocols and being separated from their families combined with the open gym and even scrubs could go off for 20 because as you said, no one was missing. I think it was honestly the toughest championship mentally because there are no excuses, it's just 10 players and quiet gym.
there was 0 outside influence in terms of fans and atmosphere, the best team truly won. Also showed how truly good even the 10th, 11th, 12th men etc are in the nba
The only reason people say it was easy or that it doesn’t count is because it’s people trying to discredit Lebron. Curry wins that chip and not a soul is saying it’s “easy”.
MPJ literally just said reminiscing about the Bubble: we'd all just go down to the pool and drink Pina Coladas all day. Get the f out of here with that weak excuse of a championship.
Sounds like Lebron himself wrote these comments 😂😂 chill with the burners lol
@@AR-cc3ncWhat....
people really have always hated the bubble and yes we all do in some aspect, but it honestly gave us some most intense and insane basketball moments in the last half decade, like just imagine OG’s 0.5 buzzer beater with a crowd, same with AD’s game winner vs denver, what about lukas’s buzzer beater vs the clippers, and imagine how much more intense the nuggets vs jazz series wouldve been, these moments would be all timers if they were in an arena with a packed crowd
Fr, was an amazing, tough playoffs that wasn’t even riddled with injuries (apart from the heat).
Jimmy butler was just insane, same for Luka who hit one of the best game winners ever tbh, LeBron hitting 3s from the logo against dame in the playoffs, 3-1 comeback from the nuggets. Intense heat Celtics matchup, and we got to see a great finals, Jimmy Butler’s performance was amazing to see and really gave the team some hope, but seemed like he was too tired to do that in consecutive games, then there was the Danny green 3 pointer lol 😂. Nah but Luka had some of the craziest stats in that series, and Jimmy Butler having a 40 point triple double and a 35 point triple double was really nice… conference finals I do agree lacked highlight plays tho lol
Also the last time we got to see the harden that elevated his game in the playoffs, the scorer, until he went to Brooklyn and became a playmaker, got injured in the playoffs, then went to philly and was a playmaker but a shaky shooter, I hope he has a bounce back year and plays like he did when he first got to the nets, he can pass the ball and get 10 assists with some rebounds while scoring 25 points a game, playmaking for Embiid and his teammates while scoring
@@rimimimimimimimim4170 Idky people are such huge fans of Harden. He isn't a winner and he's proven that many times over. No one cares about a player who racks up a ton of points by throwing themselves into defenders. Look at NBA history, there are guys with over 20k points that never even sniffed the finals and you never hear their names mentioned. Harden will be one of those players. Philly will never win with Embiid and Harden because both of them are injury prone and miss a boat load of games. He may get decent numbers launching a ton of shots with a terrible FG% but they won't be winning any rings. And oh look Harden is missing the whole month of November 😂
@@roboninja3194 you must not be an nba fan if you have that much hate for harden for no reason
@@rimimimimimimimim4170 Good times 2020 was honestly from good times aside from the pandemic and Kobe despite all the bed there was a Lotta good especially all the basketball we got during the summer
Honestly the bubble was what got me back into basketball, it was just easy to follow, plus being the only real sport on TV.
Plus the production was just awesome. Some of the angles would’ve looked more in place in a film over a live game broadcast.
@@user-eo9fl9wb8s looked like a movie
Covid was such a crock of shit. Can’t believe we shut down the world for the common cold
This video has crazy quality for the amount of subs, if u guys keep this up I'm sure ya'll gonna be up there. Good luck!
Appreciate it!
Oh dang, I didn’t even check the channel, I thought this was a Secret Base video. Amazing quality guys!
Two guys rambling and generic VHS filter
My first thiught as soon as I clicked on the video
@Disgruntled Simp Mod honestly all the edits take a while
Bro Javale McGee’s bubble vlogs was fire. He kept us in tune. We need more nba players and athletes in general vlogging.
My favorite thing was watching players vlogs in the bubble.
Bro I loved those, they were great and I watched the championship one before school, so good!
Bubble Murray was what really got me back into basketball. I was a huge fan of the Melo-Chauncey nuggets as a kid, then stopped watching for a while, and I was kinda getting into the Jokic years a little bit, but bubble Murray really brought me back in
Yeah, that spin a round , did he made that lay up to win the game.
My favorite memory was driving to work (shoutout to the pandemic for landing me a car and an overnight delivery job I love) listening to the Nuggets Lakers nail biter on the radio and cheering in the middle of a freeway interchange when AD sunk the game winner.
Damn. Im a Nuggets fan. I was at my father in laws house watching the game. That was tough. Lol. Fun basketball!
Ong
@@je5406 if it eases the pain at all, Jokic has been getting better and AD worse semi consistently since then
Yeah shoutout to the lockdowns that destroyed the livelihoods of how many private restaurant businesses?
How crazy now the final 4 of the bubble is back 3 years later
And the champs got swept. You tried it clown.
The lebron "Ain't that are ball?" Was my favorite moment
The bubble reignited my love for basketball , I watch my team every time they play now since then
This video deserves way more views and likes than it already has!
Even the commentators in NBA2K23 acknowledge the Lakers 2020 title as a well earned title
The year of 2020 and the NBA Bubble games was definitely a time capsule in history. Some we'll never forget!!!
Who would’ve thought that we would re-see the bubble conference east and west finals again
as a heat fan(kinda) i really hope 76er come through
@@snowman_oven Sorry Bro. The 76ers didn't come through and neither did the heat....
@@Avarice-Zero yea , sad😭
probably the most fun i've ever had watching basketball
Love your guys talk points, I had auto play on and I thought this video had definitely more than 100k views and looked after and thought it was criminal how many views it had. Keep it up guys
I started to watch the NBA when they were in the bubble it was really fun to get to know all the basketball rules and out of this world players. I also kept thinking what it would be like with fans in the stadium and if that affected the players and I remember the first game I watched with fans. It made such a big difference, it probably wasn’t the best game ever but to me it was because I experienced how the NBA really was for the first time outside of the bubble.
its really enjoyable learning about the landscape of the nba , i was playing 2k during 2020 and thats how i learnt about the nba
Damn bro ppl started watching during the bubble We gotta go back a hunnid episodes for yall
I had a friend live with me for basically the end of summer 2020 and getting to spend every day just fiending out and watching basketball 24/7 was so amazing. never gonna happen again
Algorithm blessed me with your channel, you deserve so much more views on this!! Solid content (maybe bias as I’m a Laker fan) subbed!!!
Instead of "NBA CHAMPS" hats and T-shirts it can be Mickey Mouse ears branded with the NBA CHAMPS and instead of shirts it can be like a Disney cape with their logos on it
The Bubble shouldn’t be standard, but the fact that it was nothing but like a month or two of pure basketball and watching everyone and their mother going nuts every other game
this is criminally underrated. here before 1K views claiming my spot
Welcome!
Independent of the fact I’m a Blazers fan, this is just some good quality content
And now three years later, the same 4 teams are left! Almost like the bubble wasn’t an illegitimate fluke 🤔
Loved the back and forth between you guys, awesome stuff!
Thank you!
Now all 4 final teams are back again in the conference championship
Incredible video. I can't believe it's onl at 138 views and 42 subs. I'm stating the numbers because I'm sure in the near future it will be a lot bigger.
Wow, thanks!
This video is amazing I’m glad I found this hidden gem of a channel I’ve also enjoyed your other videos as well, love them🙏
This video had some of the best editing I’ve seen from an NBA channel, with some clever cuts and edits instead of trying to be some corny hypebeast channel. Great work!
As Denver fan it was a beautiful time for us! We were winning and it was amazing! I still to this day will fight anyone that says if AD doesn’t hit that game winner it’s a whole different series.
The Series would’ve been more interesting But the Lakers would’ve won regardless, they were on a Mission that year, especially with happened with Kobe.
you are on the finals now congratulations bro
@@elcomehombres844 appreciate that bro! We’re fought through adversity as nuggets nation but here we are!
Fuck Mason plumlee man🤦🏿♂️ 2023 made up for it tho⚒
This was definitely a weird and wild time. Doubt and hope that nothing like this happens again. But it was definitely something that I won't forget
Doubting things like this to happen again is exactly how things like this happen again
The first 6 months of the pandemic was memorable (in a bad way obviously)
Bro what is this level of quality for a small channel? I'm liking, and sharing this, you deserve to grow quickly
gotta love the mix of informational and humorous content. awesome video
This has been one of the most entertaining videos I've watched on here in a long while, you deserve a lot more subs. Love your humor!
Thinking about the bubble is bitter sweet to me.
On one hand, I was shocked to see my Miami Heat make it to the finals with JB as our one superstar. On the other hand, they made it that far and honestly shouldn’t have lost. Especially after seeing how horrible the Lakers got after winning. Like looking back at it, the loss pisses me off even more.
Crazy to think how LeBron’s legacy would’ve looked with another finals loss too.
As a Miami fan as well. They lost because Bam and Dragic got hurt. That's it. But the Lakers would have not ben as bad had AD and LeBron not dealt with injuries the following season, (let's also not forget that the Heat and Lakers had the shortest off season in American Sports history). Then they gutted the team for Westbrook and honestly had they not, they probably would have bounced back like the Heat have.
@@bbro43 agreed. We definitely would’ve won with Bam & Goran healthy. And yeah people definitely don’t give us any benefit of the doubt for our insanely short off season.
@@bushysowavvey no y’all wou don’t have stop it💀💀💀🙄🤣🤣nobody was stopping Lebron or AD and bam still played goran doesn’t play defense yall heat fan’s delusional
@@bushysowavvey Fuck no you were not winning even with a healthy squad
@@skywalker2676relying on dragic to beat lebron is a new level of cope 😭
The bubble showed us how these players are straight divas
This video was incredibly informative and produced very well. Great job!
I just found out about this guy. You deserve 100k at the LEAST
This video has amazing quality! Y’all definitely earned a sub :)
This was a Goated Video fr it bought back some memories from the bubble days 🐐
The bubble was the hardest championship ever .
😂
Great video. Reminds me of those old wrestling videos where they have a topic and talk about whatever the hell they saw happened lol. Almost like a podcast but have crazy good captivating editing so you watch the video. Keep up the great work, you guys deserve more subs!
To think the bubble would mark a turning point in league.
Wow just saw u guys randomly on my feed u guys have great quality I know it took a lot of time to run/edit a 45 minute video you got urself a sub! 😊
Great for a listen! Good job guys :)
Glad you like it!
Great video, this for sure gonna blow up!
Thank You!
Crazy editing, topics, information, and conversation. Keep it up 💪🏼
This channel NEEDS more love keep it up
My freshman year of college started during Covid. As a basketball fan, a Kobe Bryant fan, and a Lakers fan the bubble was the only thing that kept me sane. I went to a NBA game a day before the season closed down and was so worried the Lakers would be screwed out of a title.
Amazing quality video especially that intro. Keep it up
The bubble season will be remembered as one of the finest basketball games ever
TRUE
i watched 3 min into the video and subbed. the quality talks for it self. gonne look forward for the new uploads
Thank you!
The bubble was made during madness…pure worldwide madness. But it was great. Honestly it would be great to stage something like that every 5 years.
i didn't know you guys before today but i just love the format
Just gonna say this if this gets views your sub count should blow up. Definitely had to hit the sub button after finishing the video. Keep it going yall you found a format that hopefully works for you guys
I remember being like the 100th viewer on this vid like a day or 2 after it came out. Such a well made vid
its so fun plus some of the vlogs just makes it much more entertaining
okay the second bubble brainstorm had me crying 😂
Right, i was thinking that the winner could play for better odds in the draft
2:23 literally my exact experience. my first year of college and we got sent home for spring break and we were all saying okay see you in like a month!
good video yall this was great 🙏🏾
Just discover your guys channel and absolutely love it! Easy subscribe
Love the video!!
If you all are wondering, NASCAR was one of the first sports organizations to come back in mid-May
Bruh the quality of this is up there with Secret Base. Finding out you only got 5K subs is insane, this is great
I’ll never forget the bubble. I bought my first house during the start of the bubble and I remember watching the games no furniture in my house yet. Just a bed on the floor and a tv. Special time indeed
My favorite part of The Bubble were the Matisse Thybulle vlogs.
writing when the 23 conference finals are about to start and its already interesting listening to you talk about the bubble playoffs
I loved it, I never watched more ball in my life than that summer.
Who's here after the buble's conference final being repeated Den vs laker heat vs celtics; Also with the same major starks
Great channel!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Love the outro song acknowledge the tribal chief
That was just pure basketball....10 guys, 1 ball....who gonna get the most buckets. No crowd, no home field advantage....just hooping
your reward will catch up to your work ethic. this is an amazing video. keep going !
Thank you!
Stimmy check in hand, unemployment rolling in, some of the best pure hooping we've seen in the NBA in a while, and of course the LAKERS won a chip 💜💛
I’ll never understand the “bubble ring” mentality. It’s STILL a championship. Not even a Lakers fan at all.
They say the same for baseball. When it was the longest playoffs of all time and everyone had same conditions. If anything, its more equal but not worth getting into it with someone
@@Ben623 exactly!! The fans not being there made it more about basketball skill than about how you play under pressure
My opinion is that everyone benefited in good and bad ways, good as in all the injury prone players like AD got rest and played less games for the finality of the season, bad as in everyone had a long break from hoops and teams that were on a roll could have lost momentum and chemistry
@@guabagotjuice I understand that but it’s definitely still a valid championship that isn’t a “fluke” like everyone says. Hell I’m a nuggets fan and they beat us! I really enjoyed the bubble though.
Shoutouts to my college professor who cancelled the final cuz of covid and let me keep an easy A
Unicron's theme to begin the video... You're epic for that, more people should utilize Vince DiCola's work.
Subbed
@syntheticsports you guys are amazing !
I think the bubble shows more than anything on how team chemistry and leadership matters so much in the playoffs. You can see that with the the two teams that made it to the finals. Lebron leading the lakers and Butler leading the heat.
Whos here after the Bubble Final Four are this years Final Four?
Great videos brother ly
41:14 lol I was standing outside that exact yard house next to staples center when they won. They didn’t have any seats available so we watched from outside while I pulled it up on my phone and had like 10 people huddled around me to watch. 😂 unforgettable times
As someone who’s been deep in the 2k community for a decade, COVID 2k was an elite timeframe for park AND pro am.
The Blazers this year !!! LETS GO! Last year was the worst as a Blazer Fan. I almost feared we didn't do enough in the off season but the Chemistry and the results are obvious. Great Video as well! Subscribed and FOLLOWED>
The NBA Bubble was one of the best things that happened in sports! It was just the players locked in one place duking it out and you realize who were mentally in it and those who weren't the sideline trash talks were louder. Players you didn't expect to perform were dropping big games left and right, Crazy stories outside the bubble after the games. Not to mention people didn't give the Heat enough credit of what they had to go through to get to the finals and The lakers winning it was a cherry on top sealing the chip after what had happened prior with Covid and the death of kobe. I will always remember the Bubble for getting me through that horrendous time in the world.
no matter people's opinion on the bubble it was just nice to have some form sports being played at a high level
made the whole covid stuff and social distancing a lot more bearable
Love seeing a former Duck root for the Blazers like myself hahah great video man!
It takes time to grow a channel, but you'll get there. I can spot the talent.
What a crazy time man.. never thought I’d say this.. but there’s parts of it i do miss lol
This video gives me mad “guys sitting around naming random old nba players” vibes
This is fucking great man. I miss the bubble so much
Watching the NBA together games with my dad was the best we still watch some of those together games here and there but now I’m in college and his work schedule got changed so we can’t do it
Fantastic retrospective! I was a little disappointed you guys didn't mention the run the Suns went on, going undefeated but just missing the playoffs. That definitely put Phoenix back on the map after years of nothing basketball. But a great video nonetheless!
Fr they were already out of playoffs before bubble and went undefeated and the next year went to finals
NBA bubble was elite basketball
Great editing, W video
Great video!!!
That finals was some of the best matches Butler has ever played.
this was such an awesome video
Thank you!
