Daily reminder that the NBA is our league - everyone else is just a guest

The NBA NEEDS us to be good otherwise the league will die. How does it feel to know none of your teams will ever be that important?

The Los Angeles Lakers have won 16 NBA titles.

The Boston Celtics have won 17.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been to the Finals 31 times, and only won a title half the time.

The Boston Celtics have been to the Finals 21 times and won 17 of them.

Sit the fuck down.

So what you're saying is that the Lakers are better?

Celtics won most of their titles when there were only 8 teams in the league

How many in the last 30 years?

>Celtics vs Lakers all time wins: 158-138
>Celtics vs Lakers playoff wins: 43-31
>Celtics vs Lakers Finals series wins: 9-3
>Celtics vs Lakers Finals wins: 17-16

>NBA ratings are skyrocketing while Lakers are getting blown out every night

lmao

Celtics are historically better. The response of, "Oh, the Celtics titles are OLDER" means nothing, because at that point you're just arbitrarily counting titles from 1980-2010.

Plus, most of those were assembled by Jerry Buss, who is dead. The Lakers will never be good again.

I'm sorry what's happening?

2010 isn't that long ago

No, NBA ratings have declined since the Lakers have declined

eternally second lmao

>1 title in the last 30 years

Lonzo Ball's SL debut got higher ratings than the NBA finals

Apologize

People watched it to laugh at him, didn't he shoot like 1/11 from 3?

>citation needed

>my team is artificially held up by the league office and officials and is rife with plastic fans

Fucking disgusting.

>The NBA NEEDS us to be good otherwise the league will die
>the NBA literally nullified the CP3 to Lakers trade

lmao

>2010 isn't that long ago
It doesn't matter how long ago it was, it matters that Jerry Buss is, at present, still dead.

and now the NBA regrets it

If they did they would have rigged all your draft picks to be first overall and not used toward shit players.

Lonzo and Ingram look like future HoFers in the summer league

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>giving retarded statements free (You)s

It's like you want to feed their shitposting

>ITT: Celshit fans proud that they can hardly make it to the finals

Only one team got the majority of their titles outside of the 8 team babby league era.

As much as op is a faggot, since the Nba has become important(the 80s) the Lakers have won 10 and you've won I think 4, with 1 in 30 years. The NBA absolutely doesn't need the Lakers to thrive, but they are the flagship franchise of the sport, the Celtics are a somewhat distant 2nd

>Giving obvious samefagging (you)'s
>Spacing your posts like that
Are you literally and metaphorically retarded?

Yeah and for all of those titles they beat the Lakers lmao

Is this the new /nba/ thread?

is there anything more pathetic than american franchises counting titles from ancient, pre-televised times that were basically amateur-tier

>yankees

finnish goalies

Liverpool fans

Also celtics championships came in a 6-10 team NBA lol

Whats funny is how Celtics fans will claim Bill Russeles titles when their grandfathers never gave one shit about the Celtics back then because of all the racist fucks who didnt want a nigger on their team, much less being the best in the NBA and the reason your a dynasty.


Oh yeah back then there were only 8 teams. If you count titles from way back before the actual NBA we know then ABA titles should count too. Silly fucks
