WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL
OF THE ROLE PLAYERS THEY HAD
DURING THE TITLE RUN?
Bron made Jeanie pay a Klutch plant over Caruso then decided he wanted to trade a few more for Westbrook
AD was a monster in the bubble

Bron's gotta be the first player in history to avg 30/12/9 on 59/42 and people accuse it of not worthy of FMVPBy outplaying him in the finals?
You should go back to crying about Steph only having 1 finals MVP despite playing in 6 finals.

Great #2 option and defender
It was all set up perfectly for him that year:
- Played in the one location for an entire postseason
- Had a three-month break beforehand
- Had Dwight and JaVale to match up against opposing big men and do all the dirty work.
He could just play his game without having to worry about his body being broken down from the regular season and battling against other bigs.

Don't forget he flopped for 2 years after thatfukk AD...softest big man in lakeshow history
Pau>AD idgaf argue with ya momma
This there was alot of fugazi shootin in that bubble.
AD shootin like KD. 33% from 3 in RS to 38% in bubble and his midrange numbers was crazy it was some KD shyt when he not like that from middy.
Markieff shootin like Robert Horry. 33% in RS to 42% in bubble.
fukking Rondo shootin like Derek Fisher. 32% in RS to 40% in bubble.
Those were 3 of their 4 worst shooters that actually took jumpers (so not countin Javale or Dwight) yet they couldnt miss in bubble. It was one of weakness in they game but in bubble it became a strength for em. Dwight even actually hit a 3 in bubble that was his only 3 pointer EVER made in his playoff career
In a normal NBA environment KCP and Danny was they only lethal snipers and LeBron was probably their 3rd best shooter wit improvements he made. It was a big factor cause they was one of the worst shootin teams in the league yet in bubble wit boost they got they were more even wit field in that category and wit they strengths in the other categories they had like size, paint, reboundin, defense they was too much.That AD even came back inseason tournament

Ad has always had the talent to dominate it's just the effort and injuries that has held him back. Even during the 2022-2023 season he was looking like the best player in the world for stretches till his usual injury hit. Last season he was blessed with health and did his thing. Hopefully we can see him playing at least 70-75 games going forward cause he's still young enough to have at least 3 or 4 dominate years left to add to his resume.
He looked good next season too but then injuries happened. Look, NBA world has missed on seeing a lot of great talent reaching their potential due to the injuries. He should've had a better career than KG's, but that's not gonna happen as KG was the MVP and will go down with more high quality seasons played than AD when AD's career is over too.

AD was a monster without the pressure of an audience, correct.

lol at you writting all that just to highlight random varience by three players who shot 3 threes/game or less.
You didn't mention Danny Green who dropped from 37% in the regular season to 34% in the bubble, taking more threes than anyone you mentioned.
Kuzma, also shot more threes than anyone you mentioned, shot just 31% in the bubble (slightly below regular season average).
KCP was slightly below his regular-season average as well.
Caruso dropped from 33% from 3pt in the regular season to just 28% in the bubble.
Avery Bradley was their #3 best 3pt shooter in the regular season, but didn't even play in the bubble.
Overall as a team, Lakers shot 35% from 3pt in the 2020 playoffs which was EXACTLY what they shot in the regular season. NBA discourse has gotten so stupid.

He was very good in the bubble, solid defense and good offensively but lebron was the best player on the team and helped win Lakers that ring

he's a monster period. When he's healthy he's the best C in the league IMO.
