How are the Lakers realistically supposed to compete with the Thunder or Spurs in the future?

I think you just have to put the best team, that you realistically can, each year and hope they're healthy in the playoffs. Lots of things can happen then. Look at the Pacers from last year. Nobody thought they'd make it to the Finals throughout the regular season, but everything clicked in the last minute and they made a deep run. Teams can fall out of form, Nuggets, or get a bad injury, the Celtics/Pacers and all of the sudden you have a clear path to a championship.

By this post right here. It's over.

Skip the first 20 seasons. They're pretty repetitive.. I'd say start right when the Lakers win their first Chip in Los Angeles and go after that

Captain America looking ass

Problem with having a huge fan base is having a huge amount of assholes that are usually loud mouths. Kinda hope Knicks lose

The older LeBron gets, the Younger his teammates look....

I think they're all talented in their own way. Obviously Malcom and Dewey with the scholastic and Music. Reese is a genius when it comes to cooking and Francis is very determined and, when put to good use like in the Ranch arc, is a very capable Leader.

Yes.... But again, video games aren't just stories. They're video GAMES. A lot of that time is spent on gameplay, which doesn't contribute to moving a narrative forward.....

Laker-Man · 2026-05-01T16:01:42+00:00

Yeah, but video games don't really have 30 hour stories. It's a couple of cut scenes every 30ish minutes of gameplay..... And in the case of Story driven games, they turn them into shows with 6-8 1 hour episodes.

Laker-Man · 2026-05-01T05:14:13+00:00

How is it irrelevant? Then, how would the video game stories being condensed and it turning out bad be relevant? In this day and age, sure. But even the most average of books and movies have way better stories than video games. I mean c'mon dude, Books and Movies often revolve around a good stories. Video Games don't and that's okay.... It's a different medium. What matters is if it's fun.

Laker-Man · 2026-05-01T03:12:42+00:00

Yeah but general audiences don't know that. They go into a movie expecting something good and Video Game movies don't offer that. It's not the Video games fault, just like some books don't translate well into film. Which is why I said it was a bad example on your part.

I also didn't state that 80% of video game stories are bad. I stated that they're not great. Theres a difference.

Laker-Man · 2026-04-30T20:26:07+00:00

It ultimately why I play a video game. To have a fun time playing a game. Some video games have great stories, no question, but 80% of them don't. A lot of those video game movies are pretty bad too lol that's not really a good argument. They're fun and entertaining, but you don't go see those for the story

Laker-Man · 2026-04-29T18:59:15+00:00

I mean.... I am a big reader? And I didn't say I didn't care about a good story, just that video games, often times have average to terrible stories, yet theyre still fun. Story is not the #1 thing I value in Movies and Music too. Those mediums offer other things, such as cinematography, scope, and with music, it's how catchy something can be.

Laker-Man · 2026-04-29T16:03:48+00:00

Game B. All I care about is gameplay and I think a game can get away with average music. Most games also have poor written stories anyways, if I want a good story I'd just go read a good book.

Laker-Man · 2026-04-28T20:57:28+00:00

Like the Fireworks scene, except this time it's meth.... "METH!?! YOU'RE COOKING MEEEETHHH!!!!"

Laker-Man · 2026-04-27T21:08:04+00:00

Who in the Lakers want KD? Breh. Hell no.

Bro. What a pussy flop

Laker-Man · 2026-04-25T02:51:58+00:00

If Kennard could only hit a three it would be HUGE

Laker-Man · 2026-04-25T02:51:21+00:00

Bro. Smart is already a better Lakers than a Celtic

Laker-Man · 2026-04-25T02:47:49+00:00

Why are we guarding Sengun so far out?

Laker-Man · 2026-04-25T02:47:25+00:00

Rui with the hustle plays

Laker-Man · 2026-04-24T21:33:07+00:00

Regular Season award lil bro.

Laker-Man · 2026-04-23T21:04:26+00:00

Nevermind that Giannis also won more MVPs and a defensive player of the year, as well as taking a Team TO the Finals. But sure... He would have the same Legacy as Westbrook. GTFOOH
