The Lakers are must see TV…no lie
Am I the only one who can’t stand Shumpert as an analyst? Hey ESPN, please do better.
The media is controlled these guys are puppets . They made really good money that’s why they listen like good boys
LaRavia has also done an excellent job. Aside of Smart, Ayton(most important) and others.
Who didn't know Luka was the number one option?
Media is such trash
LeGOAT
Lebron as the #3 option is a matchup nightmare for every team in the league. He is possibly the greatest #3 in the history of the NBA.
Man imagine how crazy this trio would've been if Lebron was just 37 instead of 41. Lakers would've been in the can they become a dynasty talks
Luka real mvp
I’m a Lakers fan, and I think I’m fairly realistic about our chances—I actually believe we have a serious shot at winning a championship this year. Luka is MVP-caliber. He also has the best big man he’s ever had in Ayton. AR is a serious offensive weapon. Rui is a knockdown shooter and solid on both ends. LeBron will do his floor-general thing, but if he flips that little playoff switch like he used to in Cleveland and Miami, man—the only two teams that would truly challenge the Lakers are the Thunder and Spurs, IMO.
Man, I wish the Lakers knew how many fans—not just me—love watching them win championships. Please, Lakers, show us the impossible 🙏
THE LAKERS WILL LOSE IN THE 1ST ROUND BECAUSE LUKA CANNOT PLAY GOOD PLAYOFF DEFENSE. AND AUSTIN REAVES CANNOT PLAY GOOD PLAYOFF DEFENSE
Media trying to tear up the lakers chemistry with bad press
Barring the I word we should be super competitive with the power houses. I just want us to care. Early in the season people were playing as if they were listening to the pundits. Lifeless, listless, no timing, no urgency. If I lose by 2o in 2K I'm mad heated. They didn't look like they cared, especially LBJ. I sense they know they have a shot now and that's all you can ask for in a season where you ^ucked off about 10-15 games early on. The irony is that it may have been a good thing in terms of placement for the playoffs.
LeBron is an army Swiss knife 🔪 stop da cap 🧢 bron is still the headliner ask Anthony Davis
If Luka can’t win one out of 2 against the thunder I can careless how much he scores against the mavs
ESPN really pissing me off. MVP talk not this: don’t even have to say it’s his award but for this to be the conversation …
Oh sorry, I forget theres a 2nd option scoring 34 ppg, 8-8, 6th in the league in steals.
Glad you cleared that up for me.
1-1 against okc. I think its gonna be up to the role players on the lakers to show up like they have been. Okc is a powerhouse 1-15. Gotta show up
Cmon espn, this is why your ratings are going down. It’s almost the end of the season and all yall can do is label Luka as the #1 on the Lakers (no $hit) while putting up the most PPG and getting them to the 3 seed after being projected to be 13th at the start of the season. The media doesn’t deserve to vote for awards when all they want to do is create stories and narratives on how we should perceive the league. It’s a joke that idiots who get paid to filibuster on cam have a say at all
Same old thing …The espn Lebron media plus the Nba is trying to force lebron to win a chip…we saw through the bubble ring and we also see this …us fans of the NBA are tired of the fake Narratives since 2003…Fake GOAT Narratives…this is why the NBA sucks today…because of lebron and the media…thats why we LOVE MJ and KOBE…true Greatness not some weird fabricated career like LEBRONs…as a True Laker fans and a student of the Game…it sucks that this is what we have to see
Bro this has been Luka's team since he landed in LA tf they talking about💀💀
“Not AD. Haha” – Iman Shumpert
Lakers Celtics in finals. LeBron wins finals MVP. Signs with Cavs. KD demands trade to Spurs. Cavs Spurs finals. Bronny wins finals MVP. You heard it here first
Shump need a stylist
I fw Iman keep him on
Am I the only one tired of the LeBron 'jumping ship' cycle? 🏀 Every time the competition gets real, he looks for the next stacked team. Real legends like Kobe and Magic stayed through the ups and downs—they didn't act like mercenaries. If LeBron wants his Lakers tenure to mean something, he needs to stop asking for the world, take a pay cut, and actually BUILD. Enough with the ring chasing; let's see some loyalty for once! #Lakers #NBA #LeBron
I won't be surprised at all if with one second left, the person who gets the final shot is lebron.
LUKA FOUND HIS FOREVER HOME ‼️👏🏾💯
LEBRON "RECORD MAN!!" JAMES 🦁👑
Lakers better get one game hopefully the Lakers don't get blown out they just got to keep doing what they doing
SHUMP KNOWS HIS HOOP 🏀
Blow the Knicks up they have a lot of trade PCs #whynot
IMAN SHUMPERT IS MADE FOR THIS ROLE
Iman… 🙃AR is clutch and often drives the 4th quarter offense. Watch more than a few games.
this feels like political arena, can they just give take without driving home that Luka is the 1, Lebron nonsense.
Vincent Goodwill is horrible. What a hater.
He's definitely the MVP he scores without foul baiting I know all players do it but at least 80 to 90% of his points are from just buckets being made
duh . we all know he’s number 1. why is this even a question smh
Headline should be “Lebron finally gets help after 23 years in the NBA” 💀
Is this guy stupid?
I don't think we needed the 8 minutes to know that
No 1 guy can steal a series no 1 guy has to steal a series with which would’ve been 2 all stars whether reaves did not miss the games with the injury the media is stupid . Lakers are the only team in the league with 3 20 ppg scorers.
if luka is 2nd option then 1st option must be 38-12-10-4 averaging monster
