LeBron of course came back sooner than anybody anticipated, choosing instead to fight through a debilitating injury (that 2 doctors recommended surgery on) rather than cutting his season short. This entire postseason run is a testament to his resiliency and character in the face of extreme adversity.

You're really gonna keep up the gaslighting here, eh?
I spent months trying to convince you this was a solid team - an above .500 squad -
without James. All the while you're out there making excuses for him quitting on the season.
Then I see Davis come out there and play active, aggressive defense and turn on playoff mode against Memphis and say that the Lakers should be no worse than the 4th spot in Vegas to win the championship.
I know YOU refused to pay attention to anything the Lakers around LeBron were capable of - but no, not all of us were. Even before the playoffs I said I thought LA could play their way out of the play-in bracket and at worst should still be able to advance out of the 1st round. Then once I saw them in the playoffs I said they were a top 4 squad in the NBA.
You were wrong about LA. And to whatever degree you attempt to argue that nobody else was 100% right (and even that's a stretch), NOBODY was nearly as wrong about them as you have consistently been.
But tell me more about how they 'mortgaged their future' by moving a 1st to get Russell Westbrook's trash-ass off the roster.
