Sixers President Daryl Morey kept it real about the Lakers' 2020 championship in the bubble 👀 (via The Athletic) pic.twitter.com/Q7JYdtVJsn— NBA on ESPN (@ESPNNBA) July 30, 2025
"You were [with the Rockets] for 13 years and didn't win a title… and didn't get to the Finals… it is something critics would argue you've been allergic to."

You mean the team that was already healthy, already the No. 1 seed in the West and had just beaten the two other top teams in the league right before the shut down? That team?
Also, what’s with this idea that only the Lakers got those four months? Everybody did. https://t.co/twAXPAiA1E
lol. Whatever. Talk to the athletes and you get a different story.
I will always say this: it’s the most strenuous mental title ever won. No support system, total isolation, weird video board fans, piped in crowd noise and stuff. 100% weird and unsettling.
The no travel is huge…but was an advantage shared by all. The Lakers were just the team that made the most of a unique situation. No asterisk needed, or at least as much as the 99-00 title got.
Morey is just peeved because he has the remnants of Joel Embiid and Paul George….and he has the wrong “Tyrese”….and the 76’ers haven’t won a title since 1983….when Morey was around 12 years old….
