Brutally Honest Take From Damian Lillard’s On Lakers’ Bubble Title

The Los Angeles Lakers’ 2020 ‘bubble’ NBA championship just got a Brutally Honest reaction from Damian Lillard. During the COVID-stricken basketball season that took place in 2020, many fans have discredited L.A. for what they have done. 

Because of the ongoing health crisis, the league chose to restart its season in a controlled environment, often called a ‘bubble.’ Some teams and players did well in this setup, while others struggled.

But it’s clear that the 2020 NBA season was unique in the sport’s history. This week, Lillard, who performed exceptionally in the bubble, shared his thoughts on the Lakers’ championship that year.

“I felt like that was the best version of me to that point, so I don’t understand what people mean,” Lillard said of the bubble’s critics.

“I feel like that was hard to win because people were fresh. You got people talking about mental health. We stuck on a resort, I didn’t deal with all that. Based on how my body felt, we will never see a more fresh version of the opposition than we did at the time.

“There are players that lose that battle to getting tired or getting in late and not sleeping. Now, n***as is out here, Donovan Mitchell and Jamal Murray are going for 58 in the playoffs… It counts to me. Why doesn’t it count? Nobody else won it. Everybody had the same opportunity. Why didn’t they win it?”

The bubble setup caused a lot of arguments, with many star players questioning whether the Lakers’ championship was valid. Kevin Durant also expressed his doubts.

When it comes to Lillard, he’s known for being upfront in the NBA. Whether he’s talking about the current best player, the top four players ever, or the second-best shooter in NBA history, he tends to give his honest opinions.

If he says he respects Los Angeles’ championship, he definitely does. And like he said, if it was so easy to win a title that year, why did so many other teams fail? Lillard has no reason to defend the Lakers’ championship from the 2020 bubble, so if he is doing so, you know he means it.
