That's great and all but no travel, no home court advantage, no fans, a 5 month break, covid protocols, and half the league out of shape is not what a NBA playoff is.
Real champions have to go through the grind if the regular season without a 5 month break. Real champions have to travel and deal with the pressure of the criwds and playoff atmosphere. Without those elements its just a random tournament nobody wanted or was in shape to participate in.
And the Lakers gave up 10 years of relevancy for it.
