No cheating refs, no win for lal
God is good 😂😂😂 the lakers get that a$$ swept!
LeBron played like a true drama queen being aggressive and trying to draw fouls. Nuggets said GTFOH with that bs lol!
Nick Wrong and Perkins, what excuses from the media ,Nuggets just the better team💯💯💯
This game was on Lebron,.. Lebron was looking to play hero ball for most of this series. Prime example, AD was wide open and Lebron elected to attack with 3 DEN players on him as oppose to dishing it out to the open shooter, terrible decision making from James
Propaganda espn didn’t want jokic to win the mvp, they wanted the suns to beat them, they wanted the lakers to beat them now they’re acting like the nuggets weren’t disrespected because theyre a 1 seed? What a joke legler and everyone else
2:11 I don’t think he knows what “clean” is 😂
This postseason has proved how deep the Nuggets are. I’ve been hearing all year long how Jokic was carrying the team by himself
Legler advocated strongly for Embid throughout these seasons,espn talking heads convinced the majority of the voters and now wants to clean up his name bybtalking about Jokic in superlatives..
🎉🎉MVP !!! MVP !!! 🎉🎉
Jokic in his prime first ring time
Kcp is an example of how Detroit lets Any decent player they draft go and trade for or sign bums.
This all distracts us that luka couldn’t make play in with superstar on his team 😮
im a warriors fan Congratulations to the nuggets. when we played the lakers I was thinking if we beat the lakers I was scared to play the Joker and the nuggets but lakers beat us So for the nuggets to sweep the lakers Thank you Congratulations nuggets fans wow 50+ years no finals appearances y’all deserve this one 👍
Denver had the refs on their side the whole series so Im not surprised they won. Unfair series from the beginning.
First sweep, first trip to the finals…🔥
lakers in 10
LeSwept
*49 years, they became the Nuggets in 1974
Respect to Lebron, went out swinging like a King, the league will be boring without him 🙌🏾
Why are people so shocked?. Denver was the #1 seed for a reason. People act like they were a 8th seed.😂
The real MVP, by such a wide margin.
They'll still making excuses for LBJ, KD, Harden, Embaby all off-season. It's what they do.
Go nuggets that’s sad that The refs were helping the Lakers and still lost
Poor lakers need somebody like Westbrook in crunch time. So sad.
Surprised The Refs didnt give the Lakers enough, Free Throw to win this Game.
Lakers is a super team. But lost to a zero star Nuggets. KD might learn something from Denver in his quest for another ring.
Lebron must be confused at the end of the play. Austin Reeves throws the ball to Lebron. Why not throw it back to Austin Reeves to shot a 3 pointer to tie the game at 113-113 instead Lebron trying to get past two defenders to get a two point game. That’s wrong play man.
Lakers going forward should allow other players who are ready to play to get in the game not soft AD. Always needs Lebron to carry him on. Lebron got swept by Nuggets. Terrible
Last shot when the game is on the line? The Lakers are joking when they give the ball to lebron… Yes lebron is great but not in crucial seconds 🤦
Lebron took four or five steps before that last missed shot. Why enforce dribbling at all?
Most dominant centers in NBA history
1. Wilt
2. Shaq
3. Jokic
4. Hakeem
5. Kareem
I spent the last half the season saying that Jokic CANNOT win MVP this year cuz he hasn’t made a finals. He just made the finals lmao. Kudos to him. He is now the best player in the NBA above Giannis and definitely above Embid. If he wins his 3rd MVP next year and 4th the following I will be completely fine with that. Congrats to the sweep
Kind of refreshing not to hear a Kevin Durant a lebron James No Greek freak. No point God's No steph curry's. We definitely gonna experience something different this year
Malone in the flat bill hat is legendary😂😂
