the only man i respect is shaq, i love how the fake jordan said he had 1 more than shaq.
your my dude but that argument is so flawed it's not even funny.
how is 2000 a cheap title. if you wanna throw free throws out there in 2000, remember the blazers were doing hack a shaq a good chunk of that series and shaq shot 20 plus freethrows in 1 quarter in a game during that series strictly off of hack a shaq.
any team that blows a 15 point lead in the 4th quarter of a game 7 with less then 10 minutes left doesn't deserve to be champs, it's simple as that. Portland was a fraud team plain and simple, they imploded and got swept by those same dastardly Lakers the next 2 seasons.
2001 15-1 enough said, a few bad plays in overtime in game 1 against philly from going 16-0
2002 Aside from Sacramento they dominated the playoffs, sweeping portland, beating the spurs in 5, and sweeping the nets. If you wanna throw the refs out there then call it both ways and bring up how the Lakers were screwed and cheated out of winning game 5 of that series in Sac and going back to LA with a 3-2 lead to close the series out. It's not the Lakers fault the entire Sacramento Kings team decided to stink up the joint and miss a ton of free throws and air ball clutch 3 point attempts in the biggest game of their carrers at home in game 7 of the conference finals. But hey I guess the refs won that series.
2009, The Lakers won the title convincingly so no one can say nothing about that. The only argument they had was that they didn't beat Boston. Well that argument is gone.
2010, The refs were equally crappy on both sides in games 1-3, the Celtics lost games 6 and 7 to a better team who stepped up and played strong solid defense in that final quarter. Blame the refs but from what I recall, the Lakers were driving to the basket alot that quarter and those calls were legit. Also its the final game of the series, there's no reason for the refs to try and help one team win that game. And be real had the Lakers lost a 13 point lead in game 7 of the finals, you would be laughing and calling the Lakers chokers and you would disregard the other team shooting more free throws if they did.
I don't know who a fake Jordan is, but I know that guy named Kobe Bryant hit a game winner against Indiana in the finals in 2000 on a sprained ankle, hit a game winner against Phoenix in the 2nd round that year, put up dominating numbers in 2001 in the playoffs scoring 40+ against the kings and spurs, i know he increased his scoring average in the Finals in 2001 and 2002, and has led his team to 2 more titles post Shaq.
Lastly to shut any other haters up. Doc Rivers said no one has beaten the Celtics starting lineup from 2008 in a series still. Well newsflash no one has beaten this Lakers starting lineup in a series yet either.
