Gilbert Arenas: Only Clippers Fans Discredit the 2020 Bubble Ring

Gilbert Arenas didn’t hold back when asked about the legitimacy of the Lakers’ 2020 championship: “Have you noticed the pattern? The only people who say the Bubble title doesn’t count are Clippers fans. Nobody else. Did you ever hear Jimmy Butler or Bam Adebayo dismiss the Heat’s Finals run? Or Nuggets players downplaying it? No. Only the Clippers. They were hyped up as favorites, lost, and suddenly it’s ‘that ring doesn’t count.’” Arenas argued the media also fueled the narrative because so many outlets were all-in on the Clippers at the time. Once they fell short, the story turned into questioning the legitimacy of the Lakers’ title. So here’s the question: was the 2020 championship a real ring, or does it deserve an asterisk? #NBA #Lakers #Clippers #GilbertArenas #NBATakes #BubbleRing #BasketballDebate #NBAHistory #Sports
