Doc Rivers slaps LeBron James with harsh reality about how Laker fans truly feel about his COVID title

The LeBron James era with the Los Angeles Lakers was, at best, interesting. In 2020, the Lakers won the NBA championship , but the COVID-19 pandemic kept them confined to the Orlando bubble. As a result, Los Angeles couldn’t celebrate the way they would under normal circumstances. James wished there was a parade . Among those who recognized the halloweness of the moment was former coach Doc Rivers, per Bill Simmons Podcast. The lack of a parade and fans made it look like people didn’t recognize the greatness. “It was almost like people denied the title,” Rivers said.
