AI GeneratedThe Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Miami Heat to win the 2020 NBA Championship within the Disney World bubble. Led by the dominant duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Lakers utilized their superior size, athleticism, and defensive efficiency to secure the franchise's 17th title, ending a ten-year drought.
Almost three months ago, 22 teams gathered here in Orlando for the restart of this unprecedented season.
LeBron James and the Lakers for James, his 10th NBA Finals as he looks for his fourth championship.
Prior to that, he had been their best three-point shooter earlier in the playoffs.
I love the decision by Miami to double Davis and now James in isolation.
And Anthony Davis connects on that.

Good defense there again from Solomon Hill.
Made it a tough shot, but then they turn it over.

Thank you, Eric.
Back to you, Mike.
All right, Rachel.
She knocks it down the other end.

And you can make the case, as crazy as it sounds,
that we have taken LeBron James and his greatness for granted.
Making up a word.
That was my junior college coach.
He had an offense called hully gully.
But it's that sort of thing.
Hully gully, you know?
James gets inside, goes reverse left-handed.
And it's back up 91-63.
He's got 17 points, nine boards.

but we did just watch LeBron walk down the hallway here.

Excuse me, as many as 32.

Three-pointer.
Knocks it down.
That's his first three.

The only flaw that you can point to in his game is he's got to improve
defensively.

beating our switch attacks, doing a good job of slipping out.

Terrific.
And he does a good job going up in the air as they lob to Howard.
Well, he's missed a couple of free throws,
shooting just 73% from the line in the playoffs to go along with all those.
Not to have one of those turned ankle.
Meanwhile, James is now one for four from the free throw line.
First.

And a chance to cut it to one in the opening minute here in the fourth.

James drives, goes inside and throws it down.
First points by LeBron.
Been more of a facilitated triple-double.
But the standard he has set, it was not a good game for him.
The eight turnovers included four in the first quarter.
I don't like that shot by Crowder.
James drives, gets inside, draws the foul.
Count it and one.
And a chance for a three-point play.
That's got to be his mindset.
Because I see you move on the offensive end.
You move exceptionally well on the offensive end.
I need that type of effort defensively also.
His vision, his passing, it's just exceptional.
Came in as a terrific defender.
His offensive game has improved leaps and bounds
as James throws it down.
With his left hand.
Second block of the game for Anthony Davis.
James, a long three-pointer, nails it.
That's his first three-point attempt,
and it puts the Lakers back up by one.
Until he starts taking and making.
And I think if you're Miami, you don't overreact.
You've got to give that shot up, and good defense by the Lakers.

Jimmy Butler, corner three.
In and out.
Rebound James.
Pushes up the floor.
Caldwell-Polk.
Bang!

Pretty much sealing the ball game.
I mean, that's going to power forward some otherworldly talent.
No, this one has been a.
And that will do it.
The Lakers bounce back after that disappointing loss in game three.
And are back in control.
Trying to get every extra possession.
You know, execute offensively.
Try not to make mistakes defensively.
And that's what it's all about.
Lost game three to Denver.
Won four in a row.
And now, after losing game three to Miami,
they bounce back with a win and have a chance.
As we welcome you once again to the NBA Bubble.
The two teams still standing arrived here three months ago.

He's 3-0 in the first three.
Which is making it a little bit harder.

Standing in the back.
Still hasn't retreated all the way to locker room.

And James tips it up and in.
And without Davis.
Being aggressive on the floor and playing with confidence.

Finished second in rookie.

Welcome once again to the NBA Bubble in a season like no other.
This year's NBA Finals have suddenly become great theater.
LeBron James' sparkling play brought the Lakers to oh-so-close to a title
in the regular season, but first time in the postseason.
Caruso's a gutsy caller.
If it was me, quite honestly, I wouldn't have made the change to Caruso.
I would have stayed big and probably went with JaVale McGee.
The welcome sight for the Lakers starting off with Anthony Davis.
Versus get our best player involved in as many plays as possible, LeBron James.

And over and over again, when they have numbers in transition, they convert.
Coast to coast.
Both teams have struggled shooting here in the opening minutes.
Proud around LeBron James.
Nice feed inside to Rondo.
Beautiful pass from James.
That's his second assist.
Go ahead, coach.
You don't enjoy the fact that he's back healthy and whole?
Well, first of all, I don't think he's healthy and whole,
but I think it's a harder decision than what you say
as James attacks the rim without any help and one.
Already doing a little bit of everything.
So could they have gone back and reviewed that, though?
After that, that it's not a hostile act, review it for an offensive foul
because, to me, he clearly put brief rest.
Got a bio guarding LeBron James.
James goes to the rim once again, lays it up and in, and he's in double figures.

And they've got to get Davis somehow out of the lane.

A precise bounce pass from LeBron James,
and the Lakers have blown it open here in the second quarter.
And then a defensive rebound.

This is a clinic.
They need more skill in shooting on the floor.
Caruso with the steal. Caruso got the start.
Doesn't have big numbers.
As James drives, gets inside, layup, banks it home, and a foul.
Tyler Hero, the floater, in and out.
Rebound goes to Danny Green.

James drives. James finishes.
And the Lakers just keep pouring it on.
It's likely that they will.
He did the job.
But coaching LeBron James and coaching greatness, you win in this league with talent.
It put him in position.
I don't think those two guys are exceptionally talented.
I mean, like you always say, like top five.
But it's not like everybody else is overwhelmingly talented on their roster.
LeBron James, Anthony Davis, defense, and then timely performances by others.
You make a great point because as great as Anthony Davis has been in this ballgame,
as Ronald knocks down another jumper.
And he responded with his usual great spirit and defense.
Back to James. James goes inside.
The flush and the foul.
And going back to Caruso, my gap to that.
This is a heat team that is a very good offensive team.
Rondo again. Rajon Rondo.
We're both familiar with it. You have to go through the process.
You have to lose and have frustrating nights in order to develop
and understand the adjustments that you have to make individually and collectively.
Danny Green knocks down a three. It's so good to see.
From the start of the bubble to the end, he's improved defensively.
He's improved as a passer, as he draws more attention.
LeBron James putting on the finishing touches in their very first season together.
As we hit the four-minute mark, LeBron James throws it down.
Again, they had a six-year drought of not making the playoffs.
Haven't won a title in ten years.
For a lot of teams, they've embraced their role and great leadership
and the job done by Frank Vogel and the rest of the Cavs.
They're going to finish the playoffs 16-5.
They beat Portland, Houston, and Denver all in five games
in an NBA championship clincher.
28 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists.
The Lakers 127 away from the title.
Playoff performance from Butler.
Two legendary NBA finals games.
James wants to finish off with a three instead of go inside.
Lay it up and in.
Understanding the impact. Thank you.
Ends up with what they all set out for as their number one and only goal.
You know what? Each guy invested.
Final seconds here in this NBA season.
The respect from those two.
And that's it. It's over.
This historic 2020 NBA championship belongs to the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Lakers conquer the bubble,
and batter number 17 will soon hang in the rafters.
Decades of ups and downs.
The finals MVP is LeBron James.
It means a lot.
It means a lot to represent this franchise.
Jeannie, I told Jeannie when I came here
that I was going to put this franchise back in a position where it belongs.
Years and years from now,
people will still be talking about that championship in 2020.
The team that then won it in the bubble and all that went through.
