Think about the moment Kawhi and PG were announced to the Clippers - and how they dragged that decision out to try and prevent the Lakers from getting meaningful free agents. By that time - most of the prime free agents were gone - and the Lakers scrambled (brilliantly) to piece together the team on the fly.

But in the end it didn't matter - Bron was just too great - AD proved to be the greatest teammate Bron ever played with -- and this is already a duo worthy of all-time consideration.

From Kawhi claiming he's the new king to L.A. almost everyone picking the clippers to win the 'chip - to Lakers getting 17 in year 17.

With Kobe, Covid, and the historic legacy of this championship - it's right up there with '16 Cleveland in terms of history and one-of-a-kind novelty.
