Mark Cuban: "... the Lakers may never be the Lakers again..."

[ImKobe]

how do you figure....do you understand how many teams haven't even come close to making the finals.

The things people say on ish

0 titles = loser franchise

[BlackVVaves]

Bottom line is that I called this first and now Mark Cuban is. It's the truth. The LA Lakers will now be the new Milwaukee Bucks.

I'm sure many were saying the same about the Lakers from 1993 til 2000.

[Levity]

For those who didnt click on the link, Cuban basically said jerry buss was the smartest owner in NBA history, and doesnt know where they stand now with current ownership. pretty much the same thing a lot of people have been saying (magic, kobe, every writer in so cal)

that would be one annoying ass fetus.

0 titles = loser franchise

agreed in a sense, minus the relatively newer teams. Only teams to not win(aba excluded)

Charlotte - Bobcats (0 appearances)
Charlotte/New Orleans - Hornets (0 appearances)
Indiana - Pacers (1 appearance in NBA: 2000)
Brooklyn - Nets (2 appearances: 2002-2003)
New Orleans/Utah - Jazz (2 appearances: 1997-1998)
Toronto - Raptors (0 appearances)
Minnesota - Timberwolves (0 appearances)
Cleveland- Cavaliers (1 appearance: 2007)
Vancouver/Memphis - Grizzlies (0 appearances)
Denver - Nuggets (0 appearances)
Orlando - Magic (2 appearances: 1995, 2009)
Phoenix - Suns (2 appearances: 1976, 1993)
San Diego/Los Angeles - Clippers (0 appearances)

Lakers = the GOAT

[All Net]

cuban talking crap on L.A again..nothing new here.

[mattvNJ]

Lakers = the GOAT

agreed with the addition of the Celtics and as of the last Decade+~ Spurs. All phenomenal franchises known for a winning culture.

[coin24]

Standard jealous losers, Cuban and Jameer.

Stay f@ggoty OP

[Nevaeh]

True that....but that's the difference between us Laker fans and mavs fans.....A bad season for the Lakers is NOT winning a championship...while other teams just hope to make the playoffs and go on from there.....The Lakers have set such a high standard for them that they expect to WIN all the time.....it doesnt matter if they have the best record or win the West Conference...if they dont win a championship...its a waste....MAVS fans celebrate just making the playoffs while the Lakers have done that over and over again in their sleep

Oh please, spare me that tired cliche about the Lakers being "only about championships", like they're racking em up every other year or something.



They haven't won one in 4 years already (counting this year), and prior to their last 2 championships, there was a 6 year waiting period. Prior to the 3-peat, there was an 11 year waiting period.

Seriously, some of you guys honestly need to do some research on your teams, before you hop on the bandwagons. This type of rose colored revisionist history could potentially have you looking like an idiot.

To me, the city matters more than the "franchise." The Oklahoma City Thunder have 0 championships. The Seattle SuperSonics have 1.

If some rich as fvck Saudi oil baron bought the Lakers, moved the franchise from LA to Mecca, and changed the colors and logo...then it wouldn't be the Los Angeles Lakers anymore- and it'd be ridiculous to claim that "Mecca won all those championships with Magic, Kareem, Shaq and Kobe!!!!"

Bandwagon? You sir are a dumbass...I've been a laker fan since I was a child son basically born to be a laker fan since my whole family is laker fans except my brother which he is a bulls fan.....so you sir calm your ***** lips thats shits too wet right now

The fact that mark cuban brought up the LAKERS even with this bad season....shows that the LAKERS are relevant whether or not they are winning....lol

[Cold soul]

The Lakers will eventually be top of the NBA mountain again. It will happen as a Lakers fan we just have to wait and see how it plays out. Hopefully it doesn't take decades with Jim Buss running the show.

Stop acting like your such an authority on everything, you were so much better before you decided to become and online 'personality' here.

I honestly have no idea what you are talking about.
