What I don't understand is why they still allow Dragic to play, he seems to be messing around in this game.
If they give it instead the minutes with the rookie Kendrick Nunn I think that probably makes a difference, maybe he's still hurting with that foot injury.
They gave Dragic a chance to play because he was the top scorer of the team prior to the NBA Finals, so his contribution is also big for the team.
I saw how Dragic played before the injury and in game 6, there was a big difference as Dragic has been idle for awhile.

Butler also was very limited with 12 points only after an impressive performance in  game 5.
Total respect for this man but he was the key player in this playoff especially in the Finals. When seems everyone seems doubtful after the game 4, Butler was there and still rise up the morale of the Heat Nation. He showed his best as well on that Game 3 with that triple-double. Respect for Jimmy Butler!
Everyone respect Jimmy, but Lebron James is just on a different level, he proved again why he is name as King James.

Looks like even Google is celebrating the Lakers' victory this season. I wonder if some of the Google search engineers are Lakers fans. Too bad spectators couldn't attend the final game, it would've been glorious to see in person.
Looks like not all (who knows?) but I guess they'll do the same if the Miami Heat was the one that won the NBA Finals. 2021 will not be the same, no more bubbles.

"Lakers Rumors: Anthony Davis Declined $146M Max Contract; Will Become Free Agent"

Then it's good!

That was an old article, Dated January 2020 and that was right before the Bubble or before the pandemic happened, so after this Championship which you can see he was very happy, that rumor might not be close to reality anymore as we saw how dominant they are playing together and probably Lebron will just retire in the Lakers uniform and Davis will takeover as the leader of the team.

Anthony Davis actually can't decide yet if he still wants to be a free agent. He is the main reason for the Lakers winning the title. But he also just signed on to the Lakers this year and it's doubtful that Lebron would suddenly retire.

Los Angeles Lakers' Anthony Davis on pending free agency: 'I have no idea'

And at least Dragic was able to play this game, even if he couldn't save his team. Kudos to him  Smiley

A superb performance of Lebron James, got a triple double and deserve to be name as the NBA Finals MVP, Kodus also to Davis and Rondo for their all around performance, Lakers came to end the series and does not give the heat a chance to breath, the first half was really huge, Heat did not recover anymore.

Rondo and KCP also come up big as well, it's was a complete blow out by Miami can held their heads high, he really gave everything but they just came up short, but so much respect for them in this playoff. They win against the odds with the Bucks series and they go to Finals and extend the game to 6 when everyone thought that it will be an easy series of the Lakers.

Miami has learned from this NBA Finals, they will make sure to improve themselves next playoffs.
Lakers was just too much, and actually their plan to play small was really effective, I haven't seen Howard played and JaVale McGee in this game as Lakers were matching the quickness of the Heat. Also, What I don't understand is why they still allow Dragic to play, he seems to be messing around in this game.

Dragic only shoot 2-8 and probably due to his minutes, the production of Robinson was affected as he only made 8 attempts, 7 from 3 point line.

Butler also was very limited with 12 points only after an impressive performance in  game 5.

Lebron made it all-in in this game and it was enough to beat Miami, congrats to both teams, could not say that i did not expected more from Miami in this match, but looking at their season, they were really great and above expectation
nevertheless, Lakers win was widely expected, it was a bit of doubt after Davis injury in fifth match, but obviously all that was not that bad, and he recovered quickly to play a good game last night

now we are in the line for next season, which should start on Christmas, if everything stays as it is

More than enough, Lebron gave everything he has, he is so aggressive from the start and until he sits down.

Yes, he takes care of business right from the first quarter and that lead was enough for them.

Congratulations to all Lakers fan out there, It was great season and it's been coming all along, also the best to honor Kobe Bryant's memory.

Another milestone for Lebron, you've just gotta admit he's one of the greatest players of all time, you don't need to be a fan to admit that  Cool
Kudos to the Miami Heat teams as well for putting up a decent fight, even when the circumstances weren't in the favour...

See you all in next season, and hopefully the atmosphere will be a lot better by then.

Congratulations to the Lakers, they played phenomenally from the start. Deserving this victory and title, LeBron continues to break records and raise this sport to a higher level. The man was amazing almost every game while the other "stars" played well every second or third, I'm glad the Lakers are champions, I wish them luck.
Lebron will definitely break more record as he is still healthy, he can still play the same level of intensity next season and we can expect that Lakers will remain the heavy favorites to win the championship, however, I'm hoping that during that time, it will not be a bubble anymore as NBA is more fun with fans watching in the arena.

Lebron was unstoppable in this series, his teammates struggled sometimes but we never saw he had some struggle. The journey of the Lakers this season was very easy, now that Davis had already achieved his first championship, I hope he will think of transferring to other team and be a main man not only living in the shadow of Lebron James.

Still some months to look forward, lets allowed the players and teams to enjoy. Not just Lebron but the whole Lakers really show up and produce whatever help that they can bring to the team.

This win is already been expected as Lakers are very dominant just nice to see that Miami really gives them a good  series not to allow that they'll be winning the finals without a sweat. Great job Miami! and grats to Lakers nation.

Congratulations still to Miami.
And of course, to this season's champion, Lakers! Cheers to that!

Congratulations to LA Lakers for winning the Finals!

That is just amazing and a bit of expected, we all know that the Lakers would close the series. I also want to congratulate Miami Heat, I feel down about Butler though. He did so well in the previous matches then this game, Lakers showed why they are said to be the most defensive team in the league breaking another history as the 2nd most deficit point in the halftime.
Still have respect for Miami and they did their best on at least bringing the series to game 6 on where everybody do speculate that this would only finish on game 4 or on a sweep.
You can really see on how Lakers do dominate the first quarter and able to held up until the last quarter.They do even had the lead of staggering 30+ but still Miami do able to
lessen the lead but not really enough.Im wondering on where those people do discriminate Danny Green? He made 11 points this time. lol

Yeah.

They made the entire finals to show an unexpected outcome. Great players and would love to see them again playing in the next season's final if there will be no changes with their roster. I think offers will come in to their players.

Congratulations to Lakers. Now, everyone will start to forget about Morris' airball.  Tongue
So, Miami just win in Game 3 and Game 5 with luck? I do not think so when they played this games I had observed that lakers defense is not that high or good during this time and they just let Butler score. This made Butler good to Miami fans but the actual plays of Lakers had made this clear that Lakers has a very good players and are way too strong compared to Miami.

Well, not bad for coach spoelstra in leading Miami to finals. This is a great achievement already having new players that are competetive. Miami team could go far after this season. Well hopefully their next plays will make more effective in the basket and also to improve their 3 point shooting game.
You are the one speculating that they've won with luck. As I have said, they showed an unexpected outcome which most fans have been expecting.

They really played well.

Any news about whether AD will play in Game 6?

Anthony Davis will play on Game 6.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony Davis (heel) will play in Game 6

He has an injury but the superstar said he can manage.
I think he has already discussed this to their team and already has preparations because for sure when their match the enemies will focus on the great players to keep them or if the worst is to hold them until they get injured like what happened to Anthony Davis.

AD played well defensively, he really shows how versatile he is playing 5 with he's great teammates, Lakers overpower the heat in the first half making it very tough for the Miami to comeback because there's no enough time.

Aside from Bam everyone really being defended well by the Lakers, Butler got a quite final game he's not being felt that much, not getting the ball aggressively.

Lakers basketball clinic as how the announcer states that words works really well stopping every
attempts of Miami. Congrats Lakers fans time to  celebrate now!
My bet was on Miami even though Lakers was the dominant team from the start of the finals. But I'm not sad they didn't win. I'm still proud of them and made the finals game reach Game 6. All of them did a great job.

Congratulations still to Miami.
And of course, to this season's champion, Lakers! Cheers to that!
