The Los Angeles Lakers: Professional Basketball's Casting Couch

...and now LeBron is the highest scorer in regular seasons of NBA history, damn

EDIT: And now might retire too

Their 2020 title is honestly the most forgettable sports title ever.

It's driving me bonkers that I cannot remember the name of the song in the last like 30 seconds of the video, anyone know?

What a interesting aging video.

Especially now that Lebron achieved the scoring record for himself..though one can argue is that really an achievement for the team overall?

This video aged terribly in 2020 be made somewhat relevant 2021 was relevant in 2022 and aged greatly for one half of this year and then aged fucking horrendously the other half of this year

Now the Lakers are in the verge of reaching the 2023 Western Conference Final

Dood this aged horribly because that's what happens in literally every pro sports league, teams suck then get good 😆 sorry just mocking the thousands of comments that make you have to add specific time periods to your titles

This aged horribly, then aged well, then aged horribly again.

Now the Lakers are down 3-0 to the Nuggets in the WCF

So.

Who is here after the Lakers got swept 4-0 by the Nuggets who have finally made it to the finals for the first time in history.

We get to laugh at the Lakers again

Who is here after The Lakers lost The Western Conference Finals

Now Frank Vogel is the head coach of the Phoenix Suns

You know, the sad irony is that drafting young players and developing them into superstars — the thing the Lakers are NOT doing — is what made the Lakers an NBA title-winning dynasty. I mean, look at the list of players the Lakers did draft and develop into Hall-of-Famers: Elgin Baylor. Jerry West. Magic Johnson. James Worthy. Kobe Bryant. (Yes, the Charlotte Hornets drafted Kobe, but the Lakers wisely traded Vlade Divac to Charlotte on Draft Night to get Kobe. This also enabled the Lakers to sign Shaquille O’Neal in free agency.) What I’m saying is the Lakers, of all sports teams, should know that it can be done this way. Drafting elite players equals more success on the court. That’s the way it should be done.

I still miss Kobe, man.

This video has a high level of Sanic 3 and Kunckles.

Watching this now, I still can't wrap my mind around the fact that Kobe's dead...

Damn image you get fired by you sibling at the job yall got equal power at

The lakers haven’t won a championship legitimately since at least 1987 you did get ripped off in 1991 I’ll give you that.

Your gonna be flamed by Lebron James fanboys for this video

Anyone here after the Lakers lost to the Sixers by 44? I absolutely just can’t stand Darvin Ham.

This is still accurate today even when we’re contenders were a shitshow but I love my shitshow team😂

No matter what happens, this video somehow manages to age like fine wine every few months.

The only reason, and I mean the ONLY reason the Lakers even won that championship, was because of COVID and half the league was sick and couldn't put up a proper challenge. The bubble was a fluke, as a year later, the Lakers were right back to where they were before COVID, and everything in this video still applies to this day. Personally, I don't even really count the bubble championship because it was so unorthodox and so weird that I think had COVID not happened, the Lakers wouldn't have even made it past the 2nd round. Winning that championship was the worst thing to happen to them. Now, the organization can say that what they're doing is fine, and they don't need to change because it leads to rings when that is anything but the truth.

Nothing aged badly, y'all consider a mickey mouse bubble AAU ring proving this wrong???😂😂

I’m here after they were eliminated by the Denver Nuggets for the second straight season

This video has aged like the finest of wines

This video aged well even with that 2020 championship.

2024: this video has aged perfectly

LeBron's a scumbag who doesn't deserve to live in the US

Here when they may hire JJ Reddick and this video will continue to age wonderfully

Who's here after The Celtics got their 18th Banner.....

Who’s here after the lakers drafted brons kid?
Buss is rolling in his grave with how his team has been managed without him.
How can one guy have this much power and not be a GM

Here after the Lakers drafted Bronny lmao

Hmmmm, let’s see….can’t seem to land any high end coaching talent because no one wants the job, hiring a guy who has no coaching experience (as much as I respect him as a player, despite him coming from Duke), drafting a guy who only averaged just under 5 points and 2 assists per game, and now resigning his father to a two year deal. The script writes itself. Jerry Buss and Kobe are spinning in their graves.

im convinced lebron won the 2020 championship and just cruised by hoping hell convince the lakers theyre still contenders. 5 years later and we just signed this clown for 2 years and drafted his kid lmao

a bullllllllllllllllllllllllllshit from that lakers organization

They had Lonzo, Randle, AND Kuzma? Damn... ...

I live in SoCal, as bad as it was 5 years ago it's a million times worse now. lefraud is an insufferable goof whom our local media feels the insatiable need to constantly kiss his ass. it's horrible.

Now they've traded for Luka Doncic

And now the Lakers traded Anthony Davis for Luka Doncic 😳

This video seems to age poorly to age well to age poorly again especially with the Luka-AD trade.

Rip Kobe

Who's here after Lakers (went home) in 5?

Anybody else here after they lost in the first round to the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2025?

LeBron and the Lakers lost in in the first round again. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

keep clinging on to that mickey mouse bubble ring lakers fans, it’s going so well for you
