He’s pretty much already done ever video possible for the 2010s decade. I’m happy to see he’s finally starting to work his way back further in NBA history
I agree they were really well rounded that year and that finals was closer than people remember a bunch of close games and then the Magic just quit in game 5 which made the series feel like a runaway
So underrated, kobe dominated the regular season and playoffs. First all defense and first all nba, while being second for the MVP and personally beloved that Kobe deserved the MVP that year, kobe had one less win than lebron by far a harder conference. And although had the better team there not tier apart Infact if take pau you can argue that the cavs were better. And lebron's stats were better but only because Kobe clearly sacrificed his stats for the team was forcing on the ring. And the fact that he still nearly avarged 27 6 and 6 while having 49 efficiency. I will pick Kobe. Yet with everything I listed nobody talks about it
If Lebron didn't choke in 2011, Wade would be remembered more because he would've gotten FMVP. People are legit saying Harden is better than Wade when the nigga has no rings, and if he does, it's because he joined KD's and Kyrie's bitchass to form another superteam
@@homotopf9461 They try to discredit Wade by bringing Harden's "advanced stats" and "always in the MVP race." Niggas care too much about irrelevant personal achievements and not rings. And Harden's ring will mean as much as Kevin Durant's Warrior rings: absolutely nothing.
? He literally is brought up always as the positive protagonist of the myth that Lebron needed to be taught how to win, hyped up again because of the Lebron dynamics, sanctified in the 2011 Finals (everything like the holding to the first option conflicting role, the not positive 3pt spacing, the bad fit etc slways get glossed over), and, aside the rigging comments/part, the majority always praises and talks about his 2006, even trampling over 2006 SHAQUILLE O'NEAL, Pat Riley coaching and the value and clutch of both GP and Alonzo. The 2009 season and the constant "Jordanesque" phrase about the 2006 Finals (that btw I only hear used for him, literally nobody else, and with all time Final performances or something lol).
As a Spurs fan maybe swap 05 and 07 around.. I remember 05 more clearly than I do the 07 season.. 05 was more of a challenge throughout the playoffs and finals IMO. Especially the finals that was pure grit and grind. Other than that great video
Love your videos and would love to see you do a top 10 big 3 from the 2010s or top 10 duos, Top 10 organizations from 2010s, and a 2020/2021 mvp race video because so many player are doing well
One thing overlooked about that 2001 Lakers squad is Derek Fisher. He had been hurt ALL season, but when he came back, he played like an all star and I swear the Lakers only lost like 1 game the rest of the season and playoffs. Also they had a lot of veterans in Horace Grant, Robert Horry, Rick Fox, Ron Harper, and Brian Shaw.
A cool video ideas would be the best finals runner ups in the 2010’s or 2000’s. The runner ups often aren’t remembered just how good they were in the regular season or playoffs compared to the team they lost to in the finals
@@Abbad1579 I've been in Dallas my whole life. Everyone I've met here feels that 06 was rigged with bs officiating. Being older I can see it a bit more maturely but im still bitter lol
“2005 Spurs were by far and away the best team in the league that year” The Pistons literally took them to 7 games and were the defending champions. I’d agree the Spurs were the best but definitely not WAY better than the Pistons
Major disrespect to the pistons. They literally beat shaq and kobe's lakers (heavy favorites in 2004) and proved their worth with a return finals appearance (7 games, would have won if not for Robert Horry) and 6 straight eastern conference finals
Personally I have the 04 Pistons 1. From a talent standpoint they were outmatched, and the Lakers were coming off the 3 peat. This is also my bias for small market teams winning it all. Due to them not being able to sign top talents.
@@이진용-d1j 2 All NBA 1st team. players, makes sense though considering nobody knows about Mo Cheeks and their best player is one of the most underrated players of all time on his own.
For me, it's tough to have the Celtics at the second spot when they had TWO series go to 7 games, not to even mention they were in the first and second round. Don't think any other team had more than one. 7 game series.
Same dude. They literally went to 7 games with the 38 win 8 seed Hawks!!! A 66 win team! And game 7 was close up until the 4th quarter. Cant seriously have you as the 2nd best team of the decade when you have 3 superstars and go to 7 with a 38 win team.
The 08 Celtics big three just got together that season and they could’ve been still trying to develop their chemistry like other super teams. The Celtics are at the number 2 spot because they were a legit super team. Eventually injuries happened and they were getting older and it ruined their chances of a three peat
i feel like the 2002 lakers should be their worst team story wise, since we saw active tampering from the refs to get them in the finals. I can understand they have a better supporting cast but cheating leading to them winning should make them the worst lakers team if not the worst team period
Just like another of these lists I've seen, the '04 Pistons are too low. Remember, the clearly worse '05 Pistons came within a quarter of beating the '05 Spurs, so I have no idea how the '04 Pistons aren't at least above that team. Whatever, they'll always be underrated. And if you want to look at regular season stats for them, you have to remember that they became a different team after the Sheed trade.
Dom’s ranking criteria has changed a little bit. Does this mean we could get a updated version or is there a slightly changed opinion on the 2010 nba champs?
I got into a big argument with someone the other day about the Lakers 3peat. Does Shaq get more credit for that run or should they (him and Kobe) be credited equally? 🤔
The only year you could say Shaq carried Kobe was in 2000, and even then Kobe helped the Lakers avoid a tied series in Game 4 (and possibly a 2-3 deficit as Indiana would end up winning the next game) once Shaq fouled out
@@andreingramakadjscrewrip7372 oh I would never say Shaq carried Kobe. I’m just begging the question, does Kobe deserve an equal amount of credit for that 3peat as Shaq?
@@pzooka He should. At the very worst he should be considered 1b to Shaq's 1a. The same people that try to discredit Kobe's value fail to explain why Shaq didn't win A title with Penny Hardaway

The 2009 Lakers were definitely underrated.
I’ve always said that it’s because it was the Magic. If it was the Cavs, they would get more of their deserved respect.
I agree they were really well rounded that year and that finals was closer than people remember a bunch of close games and then the Magic just quit in game 5 which made the series feel like a runaway
@@imhotepnixon well they didn’t ‘quit’ but it started to show that the lakers were the better team
So underrated, kobe dominated the regular season and playoffs.

And lebron's stats were better but only because Kobe clearly sacrificed his stats for the team was forcing on the ring.
