I hate the Lakers and would love to discredit them but a chip is a chip.
Any other Laker fans wanna admit it?

1988 - Isiah Thomas sprained his ankle in a pivotal game of the Finals, which the Lakers went on to win
1989 - Magic was injured in the Finals, which the Pistons went on to win
1991 - James Worthy and Byron Scott were nursing injuries in the Finals, which the Bulls eventually won
1996 - Horace Grant suffered an injury against the Bulls in the ECF, which the Magic were eventually swept out of
1999 - Patrick Ewing was injured for the Finals and the Spurs captured their first championship
2000 - Tim Duncan was injured against the Suns in the first round, depriving them a chance to defend their title against eventual champion Lakers
2004 - Karl Malone was injured in the Finals, which the Pistons eventually one in five
2008 - Andrew Bynum and Trevor Ariza were injured for the playoffs and in the Finals against the Celtics, which the Celtics eventually won
2009 - KG was injured for the Celtics in the playoffs, resulting in a second-round exit
So do the 88 Lakers, 89 Pistons, 91 Bulls, 96 Bulls, 99 Spurs, 00 Lakers, 04 Pistons, 08 Celtics all deserve asterisks next to their titles?
No. Injuries are inevitable. Every year teams see injuries hurt their chances and other teams, including the eventual champions, see benefits.

everyone saying the lakers' championship deserves an asterisks deserves a stone face! all this talk about other teams having injured players being reasonto look down on what the lakers accomplished i feel is just hating on the lakers... in 08-09 kobe was injured (finger, back and ankle i think), gasol wasinjured( his ankle was bad), odom was injured (i think it was his back), ariza was injured and byum was injured. five of our main guys were either out or hadsome injury that was keeping them from being 100%

LOL at this fool. It don't matter you sound like Paul Pierce. Thing is the Celts were not gonna beat us last year, it would have played out like the yearbefore.
The rematch will happen this year believe that with LA taking another. Kobe shutting haters up, Bron walking off mad going home to lil Dez, and more excusesfrom Denver and Boston.

--FAIL.
In that case...
'06 Heat* - Dwhistle. Enough said.
'89 Pistons* - No Magic. No Byron Scott. That's TWO starters.
99 Spurs* - Short lock out season. No team could build momentum/chemistry.
Sarcasm^
--You catch my drift. Injuries are part of the game. No championship team deserves an asterisk next to their title.
--They won cuz they were the best thast given year. Injuries to adversaries or not.

You have 100 something posts.
Looks like his facts are right.
If you have another screen name with more posts, it doesn't matter. The screen name you posted with has 100 something posts. You put that screen name up,the one with 100 something posts, to be retired if the Lakers repeat.
Don't get mad that no one gave a damn.
