Lakers' 2020 Bubble Championship 'Marked by an Asterisk' by People Around NBA, Says 76ers Exec Daryl Morey

On October 11, 2020, the NBA Finals concluded at Disney World’s bubble with the Miami Heat falling to the Los Angeles Lakers in six games, securing the Lakers’ 17th championship title.
The NBA suspended the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic but resumed in a controlled bubble environment to complete the 2019-20 season.
LeBron James and others described the bubble as the purest form of basketball due to no distractions, while debates arose about the championship’s legitimacy.
Philadelphia 76ers executive Daryl Morey stated privately that many agree the bubble title doesn’t fully hold up as genuine, though he recognized the players’ effort and resilience.
This controversy suggests the Lakers’ 2020 title will carry an asterisk in NBA history, reflecting mixed views on championships during the pandemic-affected season.
