I certainly don't have to tell you how awesome a healthy Kawhi is. If he gets them a title, he's going to have the weirdest legacy of all time.
I wouldn't mind if Kawhi won another title but part of me hopes he doesn't out of spite because I think they would have won at least one more if he stayed in Toronto and kept the core together. Especially with Pascal arriving at that time. But it did not occur so the Lakers can enjoy their bubble title. Fits nicely with their in-season tournament title and the Dodgers fake WS victory the covid season too. Add in the Rams mortgaging their future to win a SB at Sofi and you pretty much get the entire essence of LA.

I didn't realize you were a bubble asterisk guy. I usually root for the Lakers to lose (and I was during the bubble finals), but I think keeping the team focused in the bubble was really impressive. There's a reason Miami beat everyone in the East and LeBron beat everyone in the West under those conditions.

A Jimmy vs Kawhi ECF showdown would have been incredible. They were probably my two favorite players at the time.
