This is one of the most memorable post season in recent memory. We saw an underdog goes to the finals (heat) We saw a team came back and win from 3-1 deficit twice (denver) we saw how great luka is and how he is going to be a superstar , we saw great coaches departure, we saw a team choke , We saw melo hooping, We saw Lebron proving, We saw the real capabilities of Anthony Davis, We saw tyler herro as a future star, We saw rajon rondo at his best, We saw KCP shutting the mouth of haters, we saw a crazy Finals , and finally we saw Los Angeles Lakers claiming the best Franchise in the NBA âŁïž

u forgot dwight
One of the Greatest Lakers team ever and One of the Greatest Teams of all time!!. 57-0 while leading after 3 qtrs! We Never choked!! AND THE MOST THREES IN A NBA FINALS SERIES!!! Yup you read that right!
Well said & thought out đ
Well said. probably the best postseason we had in a long time. The one year the warriors sat out after running the NBA for like the past five years
LeBron's performance...AD's presene and clutch. Rondo's IQ...all destined for GREATNESS once put together. đđ
Huge fan đđ.I see you everywhere
@@kickrocks3542 same đ
Nice to see you bro. Caruso team here
And Dwight's freak in nature
Lebron James and LeBeautiful about to invade youtube đđ€Ł
LBJ: Give Giannis the MVP? That's fine. No problem.
That's when it became personal with me.
Right
Lebron is the MVP

Iâm miss this team so much. It hurt seeing the team break up after their championship. Itâs sad how the 2022 Lakers went out and didnât make playoffs. The 2020 team was amazing. They had great chemistry, energy, motivation, defense and so much more. I really enjoyed watching them. They played like a family. Wish we still had this team today. We wouldâve been unstoppable. So many dawgs and HOFs on that teamđ„Č
Facts, as a LeBron fan you can tell he was more engaged and not just worried about dropping 30 a night with 0 effort on defense
Facts yo
makes no sense why they got rid of Rondo and KCP... like Rondo went so hard and now we "upgraded" to Westbrick??
@@jahlil4327 âdowngradedâ
Itâs rob fault bro he didnât want to pay anybody
I truly think Alex Caruso is underrated. He has good vision, technique and he's good defensively. If he continues playing like this, he could be an all-star calibre player.
I donât know about all star level, but he definitely is underrated. Itâs because he really shows up on the defensive end and less people understand or care about defense. But he gets labeled like âscrappyâ because heâs white and has the looks of someone super unathletic, but he stays in front on defense pretty well in man to man and plays passing lanes really well. Heâs not someone I would want with the ball in their hands in the last minute of a close game, but he could also get you a steal on defense to seal that close game in the last minute.
@@jamesfranken8676 How about his screens too. Look at all the Lebron drives and you'll see Caruso setting screens and back screens to open the lanes.
He reminds me of Jordan Farmar.
When the time comes for him to get a new contract, I really hope a team overpays for him, he deserves a big payday. It won't be the Lakers, but hopefully he gets paid.
not bad?, he is extremely gifted defensively , hes an all defense kind of player..
this "mickey mouse ring" still holds more value than any of KD's
Faxxx
True. đ
KD made the WORST decision by joining GSW.
@@DickWu1111 i mean, he won, but the fact he joined already the best team in the league (maybe in history) just stained his reputation for those championships.
@Lio FACTS FACTS FACTS!!! đŻđŻđŻ
Such an extreme emotions for the Lakers' fans in this 2020
Alex Caruso is legit underrated. Watching these highlights made me realise how important he was for Defense and transition buckets.
Him and Rondo were huge in playoffs. Rondo got credit for it but no ones gives AC the credit
@@kylelowe137 Yeah man, I hate it when people call him the GOAT and stuff as a meme. He is an NBA Player who worked hard on his craft. Give the man some respect
@Franz Ibano Come on man don't act as if you don't know what I am talking about
The only player on the Lakers squad to make LBJ get off his seat while resting. FACTS
This team was so good, so many good players on this roster. We miss Dwight in the paint...
U think Lakers now have a similar roster aftrr the trades? I have a feeling they have.
@@fahdzaa The Lakers done good job in these trades. Players that arrived make the change. Players that are traded, Lakers don't miss. Now, it is all about AD3. If he brings his game on All Star level, Lakers can compete for championship!
@@handlybey Ye for sure, looks good. By the way meant compared with the buble chip lol. đ
Malik - KCP
AR - Caruso
DS/Dlo - Rondo
And so on, and ofc. LBJ and AD need to play mvp level.
If KD hadn't joined that 73-9 regular season team this ring would've been the 5th for LBJ at least.
Two more rings to go for LBJ before retirement
How tf is Alex Caruso not in the NBA All-Defensive Second Team this year? And why is Pat Bev there?
6th maybe
You crazy that means the rockets wouldâve made a finals! Cleveland definitely didnât want that problem
Sorry, thatâs not an excuse, building a super team is never a guarantee, chemistry is. See the Lakers 2021-22 for example. So even if KD joined, that is not cheating, instead, they just did incredible basketball. For me he is no snake, imagine if they lose, then thatâs a different story. Still, haterâs mock KD anyway with or without a ring.
@@alvinpamplona6019 bro you understand who KD and Steph is? Literally the GOAT shooter and the most versatile force on offense the league has ever seen? Yeah and surround that with a 2nd GOAT shooter and a DPOY.
Thatâs not just a super team. It was the greatest team ever assembled.
Came here to remind myself of these good old days cos this Season is đ«
We were best defensive rated team with lebron AD McGee kuzma and Caruso and lebron would play point and led the league in assist that year and rondo running the 2nd unit off the bench we were so much better that year we had 4 guys over 6â8 starting I think AD is better at the 4 instead of 5 he keeps getting hurt playing center we need McGee back and Dwight coming off the bench let AD back at the 4
Professional sports analysts
Beginning of 2020: LeBron James is done. Lebron wants to be an actor. Lakers will not win a championship. New Orleans got the better trade for Anthony Davis. Kawhi! Kawhi! Kawhi!!!!
And now: Lakers had an easy win. Lebron got it easy. The bubble etc.
Haters gonna hate...
-Al bal
I donât think anyone said New Orleans won the trade. Iâm pretty sure most people said itâs TBD at the time.
All LBJ in this highlight reel.. Safe to say there is no one close on this đ to him playing đ right now.. đ
Thank you to my Los Angeles Lakers for a excellent and wonderful 2019-20 NBA Playoffs.
Dwight Howard actually won his ring in Orlando...
Funny..
Incredible realization
@Click It another hot take. you're almost on par with skip, but you got no money, or class, or clout.
nvm, you're whack.

Hilarious
Humor on my channel. Sorry. Thanks.
Really good compilation. Shows how much this Lakers team deserve this ring. So happy i got to see this. Wish this team was together in that GSW era. Also, i wish gsw will be healthy this coming season. I really want to see a BATTLE...!
Canât wait for the next nba season. Lakers baby... back to back....

@@janoycresnova9156 stfu they was down
@Jenoy Cresnova Wait so you're saying that he won cause the Heat were injured? Wonder what you would've said if LeBron on Toronto won with KD out Klay injured in game 6 instead of Kawhi.

Most of the plays belongs to Lebron James. He is supercomputer in field.
Lots of exceptional players in the league but nobody's as entertaining to watch as LBJ. The plethora of skills that he shows night in and night out plus his IQ are just borderline mind blowing.
@@makaryoiskaryote5996 i can make an exception that zion is up there with him.
@@makaryoiskaryote5996 but I thought he has no skills and just âpassesâ or plays âbully ballâ
He's the Engine that runs the Car ! ... KING JAMES đđđđđđ ! ...
@@dercrysisbz2049 they dont belong in the same sentence. Zion has done and proven nothing. Lebron is top 2 player in Basketball history...
That Laker team defense was beautiful!âŠ.
To this day I still dont know why they choose to let go some guys in this championship roster after winning it, they already built the chemistry especially in the playoffs.
They really were blinded just because they could sign the 6moty & its runner up and go back to square one and build another chemistry with the new guys which didnt turn successful.
Basketball is simply the best game ever
Football actually is harder work better players and better goals scored better technique
BEFORE:
-RONDO's first title and last Finals was against the LAKERS

That was impressive.

I might not notice this in game. But watching this highlight make believe that 35 y.o bron would absolutely dominate his 27 y.o self. KING of the GOAT

We're coming for #18 next year.
@@bluegregory6239 who is we? Are you on a team?
lol so that didn't work out too well. Here's hoping for next year with a real offseason and more days off between games.
@@supertrampolinethebatpony3841 sadly not looking good again this year.
I still don't get how this was lebron's easiest path to the finals when all his career they said he was the king of the east he was beating up on the east so how was this his easiest path ? The man faced the best 8th seed prolly ever in Portland faced two former mvps in russell and harden then faced the nuggets who came back twice from a 3-1 deficit then beat the so called best and deepest team in the "clippers" with two of the best players in the league and so called the best wing defenders on the same team since mj and pippen , then beat the miami heat who beat all the good teams in the east the only easy thing you can probably say was miami but idk how you can say that when there in the nba finals since when was it easy to make it to the nba finals ? The man did it ten times and won 4 yes but look at those losses two of those losses came from a straight juggernaut in the warriors with Kd the another lost was when he lost kevin love and kyrie he lost to the spurs who had 3 hall of famers plus a young kawhi the only loss I can say that really hurt this man legacy was the one he's lost against the mavs it was no excuse for the heat to lose that series if you disagree with anything I just said your just a hater man . people like stephen a smith would say 6 final losses smh the man went there 10 times so what he was suppose to win them all ? Yes mj was 6 and 0 but he went there 6 times and only got there because of scottie to as soon as mj got a all star in pippen he went there before that he couldn't sniff a finals and was coached by arguably the best coach of all time dam near his whole career lebron best coach you can honestly say might be frank vogel lmao I'm done debating with people about lebron I am the biggest kobe fan ever and I really had to look in the mirror and admit that he's just better smh one of the hardest things I had to do in my life đđđ€Łđ€Ł rip kobe we did it for you !!! And gigi â€ïž
Nope. Miami was not easy. They beat Boston and Bucks. They were at the Finals for a reason. The reason why sPoRT AnAlysTs said that Miami was easy because the teams which they predicted to be at the finals were a no-shows, and of course to discredit Lebron's feat.
Well Lakers was better than the heat with lebron,Ad like wow and there both over tired the 1st game in preseason
JxmyHighroller did a video where he analyzed playoffs back to I think the late 70s and found this was one of the easiest playoff runs for any modern team. Doesn't mean it was easy, just means there were harder runs, like 2011 Mavericks for example. (also several of Kobe era Lakers interestingly. czcams.com/video/xqVIDt0ibGE/video.html
@@supertrampolinethebatpony3841 2011 mavericks had an easy path to the finals.
@@supertrampolinethebatpony3841 jxmyhighroller is terrible on his analysis of basketball. Especially when it comes to lebron.
Lebron James is the only player to win finals mvp with three different teams he was about to be the only player to win regular season mvp with three different teams but gannis won it đ
The hate ruined it giannis didn't even work on his game literally same as last year
@@TheTaekwon3 And he got bounced because of it smh
El mas valioso antony davis.. Que si tuvo jugadas clave para ganar partidos.. Lastima que se lo dieran a otro que solo se esconde...
Thereâs always next year đ
Giannis deserved the regular season MVP there is no argue about that
oh how i miss this roster so damn much
pelinka didn't think very well smh
Kobe is watching this clip from the heavens.
Lol, theres no internet in heaven
Clippers's watching this clip and crying
Hope he has better things do in heaven.
This lineup makes AD more healthier because having 2 defensive centers he can punish those PF
Rondo winning a chip each from the two best historic franchises
Lakers the better franchise more Comp than the Celtics they won their chips back when there was no comp
@@dxggrr3752 Tatum might change that though after LeBron retires
ADâs buzzer beater is one of my favorites of all time
This season, despite the pandemic and the loss of the great Kobe Bryant and his daughter, this NBA season was probably the best seasons we as fans have gotten to witness in a long time. Especially competition wise, since the warriors sat out this season due to injuries. This season is the one to remember for the books
i miss this team
Remember when the Blazers were supposed to "upset" the Lakers?

And the rockets small ball lineup was supposed to give them problems LOL and those so called analyst that picked the flippers to win it all where are they now?

Westbrook in 2019 - This season ring gonna come
In playoffs - Gets banged by Lebron
Ya he definitely got BANGED by lebron
He should also given a Lakers ring considering how helpful was he in the Houston series lol
Watching this in 2022 as a Laker fan makes me depressed
Ahhhh the good old days đ„č
Missing this team đ
Back then when AD would fall and nothing would break đ
13:18 20:42 Rondo's godly basketball IQ on display
The Lakers are a great team love the teamwork
Is it just me or did LeBron look so much faster than anyone in the bubble? It looks like a D1 player going against middle schoolers.
I mean yeah heâs literally a Demi god. He was 36 years old and looked the most rejuvenated.
â@@lebrunjaym676 Lebron spends a lot of money on maintaining his body. He looks like having a 20 year old body despite being 35/36 y/o and now.
The season Howard finally prove the haters wrong, acquire his first championship and with that became a first-ballot hall of famer.
This team was definitely way more dominant and more deeper then this years warriors championship squad. We dominated every single round and finals this year.
They definitely wouldâve beat this yearâs Warriors.. Caruso is clamping Poole
We messed up getting rid of Caruso Danny green kcp kuzma McGee Howard at least with these two centers they took the load off of AD allowing him to get hot from the perimeter and now with AD as I it only center heâs always hurt
I miss this team a lot a postseason to definitely be remembered there definitely a lot of amazing things that happened in this bubble from the lakers and other teams and players. We saw rondo at his best, Dwight at his best but this was all season for both that year. LeBron not doing all the work, and worrying about just scoring he had other pieces that executed at their jobs. It allowed him to be his normal style of the game.
Imagine if this lineup exist for 5 years, how many rings can they get?
I know man we should of kept this squad why change everything when w e just won a ring with this squad #1 defense in the league with javalee McGee and Dwight Howard coming off the bench as center Danny green Caruso kuz all good defenders and we gave it all up for westbrick
mmm idk, the next year KCP and Kuzma were bricking in the playoffs vs Suns, AD getting injured. But happy this team happened tho
2 more at least...
lakers are the best
I miss this era of lakers they're one of the most iconic players of new gen lakers
Sadly kobe didn't saw their championship
The bubble was more competitive than the last two years đźâđš no injures all teams healthy everybody had a chance ,, unlike these last two years ,, finals now ainât even about who the best team is itâs whoever is healthier
W
Call me crazy but due to the specific roster they had, Iâd be willing to take this team against any Championship team in the history of the league. Size, depth, and perfect compliment of role players. Similar to the 2009 & 10 Lakers.
Yep thanks to rob pelinka for destroying a championship roster and only keeping lebron and AD
â ââ @@yungog2o3 be honest bro, the majority literally wanted these things to happen. âTrade DGâ. âLakers need a 3rd star to defend their titleâ. âKuzma is hella inconsistent/ unreliable.â âMickey mouse ring.â If anything I think being a GM is a difficult job because everyone wants a say in things.
Where were those who wants to trade KCP early this season. Wow! How much you want to get back on words when KCP did exceptional work during the playoffs, most especially in the finals.
LEBRON JAMES
People often neglect the efforts of their bench. This is why this Lakers team is a champion. Aside from being so deep each of them knows their role.
Bro why the FUCK we get rid of ALEX CARUSO?????????
And Danny green KCP kuzma Dwight Howard javalee McGee
NOOOO ALEX WHYY AHHH!!!
Itâs amazing how all the former super stars like Howard and Rondo joined in as well, like itâs a massive tribute for Kobe
I miss this Lakers team
12:07 the better shot of AD đđđđđđđđđđđđđđ
Caruso's lob passes to Lebron were on point!
bro he was tossing perfect lobs every time đ©
3:12 went from "I GOT IT! I GOT IT!" to
"...I don't got it"
Man⊠Watch this video hit me so much, i miss this Lakers. đ

Sir, I think so.
This new Laker squad puts me in the mind of this team..
LBJ is a beast man
10:37 beautiful play! Why can't Vogel do this anymore? He's not using his bigs. Deandre and Dwight are still athletic.
Rip Kobe đđđđ
Its great competition. I think all teams had that fight in them but it is were it matters.Alot of close games and the Lakers lost a few but they came back and didnt make the same mistakes as before.An evolving team is a winning team.
Give Bron another 5 more rings
Lebron went crazy in this playoff run omg
In 2024, I still cannot believe there are no Lakers 2020 and 2010 in 2K.
LBJ can really affect the organization, that's his magic
Lakers got lucky when Avery Bradley stepped out. Gave more minutes to Caruso and rondo and they were huge for this SHIP. LAKER NATION BABY
lakers are literally designed to get 20 points off turnovers
Lakers are so fun to watch on fast breaks. their half court sets are god awful half the time though.
Miss the headband gang man Lakers Forever
thats not fair... like these kids grew up lebron fans and know they get destroyed by lebron xD
Whoâs here re-watching this video right now before Lakers get set for the western conference finals đ
I miss this team bruh
This is a team. They play together play defense and played with iq
its so painful to watch the lakers team right now, the team sucks now
Please take a moment to appreciate the greatness of that man from Akron, Ohio, 2 months shy of his 36th birthday. A man among boys. How he can be so athletic and dominant against guys 10 years younger is nothing short of amazing.
we miss caruso bad
bad
I miss this lakers team đ
Watching this you can see how big impact Caruso has made in Lakers, like at 9:06 - 9:10
Giving lebron 5 months off is like getting him retire for 1 year. He had so much energy in the bubble đ
Compare how they performed on defense side to Lakers 2022
Dwight, Rondo, LeBron, Melo all ballin like it's 2009
Miami got 2 win and Lakers got 4 win in the final =#24 FOR KOBE
And 4 x 2 equals 8.

Nobody is mentioning it but CARUSO is so important for this team. You can see what he brings defensively to this lakers team as well as his non stop hustle. It especially showed during his start in game 6 vs the Heat in the finals and I hope the Lakers pay that man
Other than Lebron being Lebron, it feels like Caruso was involved in just about every crucial play this playoffs run

Harden has a clear path to the rim and instead decides to try to initiate contact.
he bumped into kuz to make him lose his momentum so he'll be unable to jump and block him. Most players do this especially guards.
