first off we actin like the warriors and the nuggets are just gonna roll over… then have the celtics or sixers… like im rooting for the Lakers to win… but y is this "if" scenario even a thing. Stay focused LA. one game at a time.
Someone got hate in his blood
Since when we say things like “ top 7 “ ? lol .. bro if he’s 7th in ur opinion then just say he top 10 🤷🏽♂️
Neither of them were good enough to still be on team they don’t deserve anything
😂😂😂 norm don’t watch ESPN these days but Stephen snapped with this one I love Russ but na bro no soup for u
Give them a bronze championship ring
Westbrook never said that
AD is a Champion already. He dosent have to prove anything. Shoulda been finals mvp too
AD sits out when his feelings are hurt 😂😂😂
Jamal Murray should be considered for impressive player in the postseason so far.
If these players get a ring, Nunn, Thomas Bryant, Damian Jones, JTA should also get a ring.
Don't worry about that, they won't win a chip
The same Pat Bev and Westbrook throwing shade at the Lakers once they got traded? Life comes at you fast.
Hold up, did Brian say Jimmy has nothing to prove but AD does??? Is that what he just said about the NBA Champ? How many rings does Jimmy have after being a journeyman before finding a home in Miami?
Having a ring has no value…
Winning a ring is the most important
Thats it
Why talk already about rings? Can't we wait for them to even reach the finals? Hahaha jinx
who cares? non story
They deserve rings. They were on the team to start the season. End of story
Buttles is dangerous in the playoffs
PROVE SAS HAS HATE FOR THESE YOUNG MEN!!
IF somehow they win(not happening anyways) give Danny Ainge a ring for taking Westbrook off their hands.
Don’t they qualify for a ring since they were there most of the season?
Russell Westbrook Won 10 straight games win LeBron was Out give him his Ring….moron…😂
We shouldve kept pat bev and thomas bryant (they both asked to be traded tho) idiots
I don't normally agree with Steven A. but I definitely did with the Westbrook and Beverly situation. That trade just got rid of the pieces that didn't fit. Props to Pelinka, definitely revived his reputation.
Stop the cap lol 😂
Broodi DESERVE A RING. IF LA WINS IT.
Stephen A is a bozo
“He’s always hurt” but y’all don’t knock Paul George or Kawhi who AD has played more games than since they’ve all came to LA 😂😂 it’s ridiculous
Did she really ask if AD has been the best player in the playoffs so far?
Just a game 1 win and they are discussing rings 😂😂
