1. 2010 team >

   Need Artest’s dawg

2. Put the twin towers on Jokic, easy money

3. Kobe and pau duo my favorite laker duo, not the best but my favorite. Prime Dwight Howard got 1 game, I’ll give now Denver with Jokic maybe 2 at best. Lakers in 6

   Kobe Bryant in his prime is on this team, if anyone dumb enough on this sub says Denver would win need to get their brain checked picking against Kobe Bryant.
   If prime Lebron was on the current laker team instead of a 39 year old Lebron, Denver wouldn’t be a discussion. We would win easy

4. Well sure, the Nuggets were all like 8 years old then

5. Sun Yue would’ve smoked Aaron Gordon’s bitch ass. 😤

6. I give it a close 6. Kobe would eat. KCP/Jamal Murray aren’t touching Kobe. Gasol/Odom/Bynum would make Jokic *work* on both ends, but Jokic is on his path to becoming an all-time great who deserves his flowers. He’s on another level offensively than the Dwight Howard that got locked up in the finals

7. My old summer league coach DJ Mbenga!!!!

8. My old summer league coach DJ Mbenga!!!!

9. On the way to banner 15.

10. Kobe 4s!

11. Just wait till Ariza is back😤

12. Jokic getting locked tf up by DJ “Congo Cash” Mbenga

13. Past is Past!!
    Our focus is now on the 2024 Playoffs and upset against the Nuggets! Let’s goooooo!

14. If DLo was at least average in that series last year, we would’ve beat them

15. Sun Yue!!! The Chinese Magic 🤣

16. Ppl underate this team, but I’ll tell you this. NOTHING WAS STOPPING Kobe from getting that ring that year. Not the Celtics, not the Nuggets and not the Rockets.

17. Kobe on Murray
    Ariza on MPJ
    Odom on Gordon
    Gasol & Bynum on Jokic
    Yeah man Murray isn’t doing anything against Kobe and all that size thrown at Jokic sheesh. Yeah I’d say 5-6.

18. Such a strange angle, the Machine looks like an 8 footer and Ariza looks 5’5”

19. Sun Yue dropping 45

20. Nuggets have no answer for prime Kobe. Hell, they don’t even have an answer for homeless, I mean, unhoused man’s Kobe. Then you got two with true C skills and size that’ll stop Jokic 1 on 1 and make him work both ends of the court. Odom and Ariza spank MPJ and the villain from Uncle Drew. Murray would be an issue as quick PG’s always have been but then you got a spare 7 foot shotblocker off anyone not guarding Jokic. Then Phil coaches rings around Malone.

21. Jeremy Lin looks different

22. Because of Kobe, gasol, and Bynum yes

23. The fish doesn’t get enough love

24. Lol I remember how cool hooping in long shorts like those seemed back then 😂

25. Easy sweep. The Nuggets team we beat in the Conference Finals in 08-09 was better than this current team

26. Cry about it

27. That team was nice.

28. That bench versus the Nuggets? Stop it!
    Pau versus Gordon? Stop ittttt!

29. I was just on the Rondo thread thinking I’d love to see a young Andrew Bynum around for this kind of matchup 😔 

30. I’m calling a sweep tbh

31. Omg, Bynum and Gasol on Jokic. Kobe on Murray? GG

32. 2008 to 2012 Laker team would beat this nugget team

33. The machine

34. Damn, that is the team we need right now and always for that matter. Perfect squad to at the chicken nuggets. Size in the front court, length and defense on the wings, Kobe to go at Murray. Why did op have to do this to me. Lol

35. 4

36. i miss those jerseys

37. don’t disrespect 2009 lakers

38. Damn back when the jerseys were the right color

39. Adam Morrison would eat Jokic alive!

40. What are you talking about? Lakers in 3.

41. Derek Fisher looks like Darvin Ham, or is it just me?

42. No

43. Appreciate the homerism, but no chance

44. wtf is Bynum doing now? He just disappeared.
