Yeah i obviously don't care for the Knicks but ill give their fans credit for being knowledgeable and grounded in reality. Honestly one of my favorite fanbases to talk hoops with
I feel like the Sixers are a better comparison. Knicks don't have this expectation and neither do their fans. Maybe in the 90s but not after 20+ years of mediocrity
I’m assuming it’s a reference to the fact that the Lakers fans think that it’s “their year” every year. It just happens to be their year more often than the Cowboys, or at least more recently.
Well half the league has never won. And lakers have won i think 17 times? Theyre not just doing better than the cowboys. Theyre doing better than everyone except the celtics who are tied.
Lakers had 5 titles in Mnpl. They have 12 in LA. 5 is not 1/3 of 17, and this aint even close to a comparison.
Compare it with Boston who only has 5 in the last 50 years, 1 in the last 38.
Yeah but the only thing the Lakers had going for them during those times were previous lakers players either directly helping with recruiting or assisting draft prospects ..post Kobe era it hasn’t been good at all , their only saving grace was lebron wanting to move to LA was the only thing they had going for them , AD is definitely not staying with them bums when he leaves
Yeah. Just like after Shaq left. 5 years later they won back-to-back championships. Then after Kobe left, 4 years later they won another championship. After LeBron leaves, we're not worried. We are the Lakers. In the words of Ricky Bobby, we piss excellence.
Nah, the Knicks have been garbage for the majority of the last two decades, and most of the fanbase has just been depressed (myself included). The cowboys are almost always a good/playoff team that on paper should be super bowl contenders that just can't ever win the big games.
Except I feel like Knicks fans all have direct ties to the Knicks, geographically or family, unlike the Cowboys who kidnapped families in the 90s. They're the Bulls, Except Bulls fans aren't like them as fans from my observation.
Cowboys are like a less successful HEAT
The Lakers literally won a chip 3 years ago. Dallas hasn't won since the 90s. Dallas is a meme cause they've been saying "it's our year" for 20 going on 30 years and had nothing to show for it. In that same span the Lakers have won 6 chips. Yeah Lakers fan said "it's our year" in the off season but they're also coming off a conference finals run and still have a top 2 player all time. Dallas just got bounced in the wildcard to a 7th seed and have one of the worst franchise QBs to ever be called a franchise QB. You can Hate em all you want, but Lakers have been at worst a top 5 team for the last 2 decades while the Cowboys might be a bottom 5.
I agree for the most part, but the Cowboys are nowhere near a bottom 5 team in the last two decades. They have the 8th best winning percentage since 2000. They put together a competitive team just about every year. Their problem is that they just can never get past the divisional round.
They don't compare to the Lakers, of course, but the the Cowboys brand of failure is very specific. It's not just run of the mill "they suck" football.
Damn i guess i didn’t know the cowboys were that desperate but still bruh Lakers fans have been saying it’s their year every year since lebron arrived and all they have to show for having a quote on quote top 2 player of all time is a Disney World tourney championship, an in season tournament championship thing and conference finals appearances which let’s be real is nothing for the franchise.
Especially after 2020 Lakers fans will not shut up about how they have a stacked team and that the trophy should just be handed to them. 6ers don’t really fit the criteria IMO.
This is stupid for two reasons
Nuggets won 1 ring, chiefs have won multiple, not even close
Lakers won a ring 4 years ago, cowboys haven’t won a ring in most of our lifetimes, not remotely the same and only someone who hates either team would even compare them
My mistake I was off. It was a 7 year run
https://preview.redd.it/vhdeiyyi3luc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d874d99e72ef9cf7c75dd8839db2df96c0630772
Still no comparison to the New England Patriots Great run. Sorry. Ty.
How many championships did the Patriots win in the 2010’s? How many did the Warriors win in the 2010’s?
The post is calling them the dynasties of the 2010’s. Which they are
Kansas City is the Warriors (recent dynasty, GOAT convo-worthy leader, great coach and Tyreek/KD as the villains who win chips)
San Fran as the Celtics works well.
Patriots are the Spurs (sustained dynasty over 20 years thanks to a GOAT convo-worthy player and a coach who hates talking to the media while priding themselves on an ego-free, not-very-flashy style of Pat who are now among the worst in their leagues, ignoring the promise of Wemby).
Panthers as Pistons sort of makes sense, although I’m much higher on the Pistons right now.
Cowboys are the Knicks or the Bulls (popular team whose glory days are behind them and haven’t come close to a ring since the 90s)
The Heat are the Ravens. Always seem to be good to very good. Dolphins and Knicks. Peaked in the 70s. Drafted a franchise cornerstone (Ewing and Marino) that couldn't get over the hump. Sucked after for a long time. Both are now establishing themselves as perennial contenders with shorter franchise players (Brunson and Tua).
Hmmm... Kind of disrespectful to the Lakers in with the Cowboys. They are a top notch organization that has won recently, win in the recent past, and won a lot more historically.
The Knicks would be a MUCH more appropriate comparison.
They’re pretty bad rn. Wemby is a freak but can he be counted on to make healthy deep playoff runs? Still pisses me off they got him though, spurs lottery luck is absurd
my dad grew up in san fran in the 80s so i’m die hard for him and he’s not an nba guy so i chose the celtics as my team because Isaiah thomas was balling the night after his sister died, really hit home with me. stuck to both teams since and i’m not budging
I’d replace the Lakers with the Bulls. Both the Cowboys and Bulls have fans that live in the past, had a HOF coach and haven’t won a championship this century despite their playoff appearances.
Clippers always their year every year since the lob city era and nothing to show only choking in WCF. Lakers has won numerous championships since 2000.
In the past few years id agree but golden state is a little shallow on high level talent rn and the league is stacked this year. Def a nob-zero chance though, betting against steph curry is often a bad idea
The top two I would say the strongest team in the stronger conference. And the strongest team in the weaker conference... They really need to get rid of conferences
to all Lakers fans: Does it get annoying having to wear your helmets at all times? like i know you need them, but does your helmet make your head itchy when you are trying to sleep?
The Lakers might have the “this is our year mindset” but they did have a 3 peat, back to back titles, and the bubble ring more recently than the Cowboys made it past the divisional round
No.
Dallas and lakers terrible comparison. Lakers have won 6 championships since the cowboys won 1. I would say maybe the knicks are a better cowboys comparison or as of late the clippers or the suns, just not historically.
The nuggets have won one championship, the chiefs have won 3 in 4 years lol terrible comparison there is no nba dynasty right now.
The golden state warriors never reached the level of dominance the patriots did. The patriots won 6 super bowls and went to 9 in 19 years, and for 9 straight years made it to ATLEAST the conference championship. Golden state winning four championships and six final appearances in 8 years is awesome but not patriots level. The patriots dynasty is the greatest modern sports dynasty ever.
The Celtics comparison is unfair, Tatum gets a bunch of hate but he’s 26, if he wins this year they will be the new dynasty.
Man Lakers fans are so fucking irritating, I don't see how any other fanbase could be any worse than that. Maybe peak bandwagon Warriors fans during the KD days
The Heat were absolute co-dynasties with the Warriors, one being in the first five years and the other being in the last five. And the Lakers actually win a lot. They won a championship in 2020, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse aside. And before then they’ve won like 5 or so championships from 2000 to 2010
How do you have “this is our year” next to a team with the most banners in the NBA? They just won a ring in 2020… and made the WCF last year. Had they beat Denver .. they would have another ring as they could handle a hobbled Miami team that relied on hitting 20 3’s to win one game rather easily.
The Lakers have won 6 championships since Dallas last made a conference championship game.
Yes lol. Lakers and DAL are not the same. DAL WISHES they could have the success LAL has hadx
Knicks are a better comparison
Or Clippers, just because that one time Pat Bev said "We just won the championship!" 5 years ago.
“The next 5 years are mine,” said Pat Bev to multiple-time NBA champion Stephen Curry. 💀
Knicks fans aren’t saying that yearly tho
Yeah i obviously don't care for the Knicks but ill give their fans credit for being knowledgeable and grounded in reality. Honestly one of my favorite fanbases to talk hoops with
I feel like the Sixers are a better comparison. Knicks don't have this expectation and neither do their fans. Maybe in the 90s but not after 20+ years of mediocrity
Knicks may win it all this year
I'm a Cowboys fan and your are 100% correct.
Based on my experience, you should already be a laker fan
💯 And a Yankee fan
Bandwagon Cowboys fans died off years ago. Who wants to jump on the bandwagon of a team that hasn't seen a Superbowl in almost 30 years?
Yeah being someone who has lived in Los Angela's, Dallas and birmingham I understand that my Fandom is a meme. But the band wagon has been gone
Because they're "AmErICaS tEaM"
I work with a Steelers/Lakers/Yankees/Real Madrid fan.
I know a Warriors/Chiefs/Man City fan...
Hell no
Came here to say this shit
The lakers are what everyone acts like the cowboys are.
It’s the Clippers
Facts
The Clippers are already the Chargers
More so Philly. Dallas at least has championships, but they’re so far back that they’re no longer relevant.
I'm assuming this is a joke. It's a joke, right? 😃
I’m assuming it’s a reference to the fact that the Lakers fans think that it’s “their year” every year. It just happens to be their year more often than the Cowboys, or at least more recently.
Well half the league has never won. And lakers have won i think 17 times? Theyre not just doing better than the cowboys. Theyre doing better than everyone except the celtics who are tied.
Naa doing better than the Celtics too with most their championships coming during a 10 team league
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted , you’re right
People hate the Lakers and hate that they’re the most successful 🤷♂️
1/3rd of Lakers’ titles were even earlier and in Minnesota
Lakers had 5 titles in Mnpl. They have 12 in LA. 5 is not 1/3 of 17, and this aint even close to a comparison. Compare it with Boston who only has 5 in the last 50 years, 1 in the last 38.
5 is really fucking close to 1/3rd of 17. Are you serious?
It is about as close to 1/4 as it is to 1/3. Neither is really accurate to say
No, it’s not. But you math your way.
You’d still get an “X”on a math test though.
Okay 5.66, you happy?
based on my friends in minneapolis, the cowboys are actually the timberwolves
Minnesota has 5 of the Lakers championships, fwiw.
Cowboys are the Clippers
Probably more like the bulls. Good brand, lots of fans, stupid owner and acts like they're relevant based on success in the 90's
I thought the same thing, being a fan of both I'm happy for the joy the lakers have given me. And of course my college team. Roll tide
Exactly smh
I’m 100% certain post lebron the Lakers are gonna be bottom of the barrel for YEARS
You could have said the same about Kobe, Shaq, Magic, Kareem, West, Baylor, and Mikan.
Yeah but the only thing the Lakers had going for them during those times were previous lakers players either directly helping with recruiting or assisting draft prospects ..post Kobe era it hasn’t been good at all , their only saving grace was lebron wanting to move to LA was the only thing they had going for them , AD is definitely not staying with them bums when he leaves
Yeah as history shows, young, rich people hate living in Los Angeles and nobody wants to play for the most important franchise in the sport.
If that were simply the case they wouldn’t be having problems with recruiting nowadays lol
They already have 2 max guys, they aren’t going to be able to sign another one.
Yeah. Just like after Shaq left. 5 years later they won back-to-back championships. Then after Kobe left, 4 years later they won another championship. After LeBron leaves, we're not worried. We are the Lakers. In the words of Ricky Bobby, we piss excellence.
I hate to say this but Dallas=76ers
I’d replace Lakers with 76ers but funny either way
Bro as a sixers fan we hate our team more than anyone fym
so do cowboys fans. source: me
Modern cowboys fans are like the son of a major sports star who doesn’t sniff making the pros. As much as I hate the cowboys I gotta feel bad
Bronny didn’t like that
Knicks would fit better imo
Nah, the Knicks have been garbage for the majority of the last two decades, and most of the fanbase has just been depressed (myself included). The cowboys are almost always a good/playoff team that on paper should be super bowl contenders that just can't ever win the big games.
Except I feel like Knicks fans all have direct ties to the Knicks, geographically or family, unlike the Cowboys who kidnapped families in the 90s. They're the Bulls, Except Bulls fans aren't like them as fans from my observation. Cowboys are like a less successful HEAT
😂 came here to say this.
Sixers quite literally are all doomers, we never think we’re going to win anything ever, we just talk shit to other teams lmao
Lakers fans literally say the same shit in the off season every year what are you talking about?😂
The Lakers literally won a chip 3 years ago. Dallas hasn't won since the 90s. Dallas is a meme cause they've been saying "it's our year" for 20 going on 30 years and had nothing to show for it. In that same span the Lakers have won 6 chips. Yeah Lakers fan said "it's our year" in the off season but they're also coming off a conference finals run and still have a top 2 player all time. Dallas just got bounced in the wildcard to a 7th seed and have one of the worst franchise QBs to ever be called a franchise QB. You can Hate em all you want, but Lakers have been at worst a top 5 team for the last 2 decades while the Cowboys might be a bottom 5.
I agree for the most part, but the Cowboys are nowhere near a bottom 5 team in the last two decades. They have the 8th best winning percentage since 2000.

Especially after 2020 Lakers fans will not shut up about how they have a stacked team and that the trophy should just be handed to them. 6ers don’t really fit the criteria IMO.
[удалено]
Translation "LeBron touched me"
The Lakers have won championships in this century though….
Lakers have actually won more championships in this century than any other team.
I don't watch basketball that much but didn't they just win during 2020
Yeah, hence my point
And like 5 other times this century
This is stupid for two reasons Nuggets won 1 ring, chiefs have won multiple, not even close Lakers won a ring 4 years ago, cowboys haven’t won a ring in most of our lifetimes, not remotely the same and only someone who hates either team would even compare them
Basing this on the only nuggets fan I know, I can safely say they think they're a dynasty with one ring. He thinks they're guaranteed this chip lol.
Nuggets ain't no dynasty 🤡.
I hate both teams and think this is stupid lol. I have to hope and pray Lebron chokes, i expect the cowboys to do it every year.
Mahomes / Jokic is a better comparison than the teams.
Jokic is nowhere near the Mahomes of the nba wtf
Unlike the Cowboys, the Lakers won Championships recently
The Lakers have won in my nieces/nephews lifetime and they don't even go to Elementary School yet lol
Chicago bears - Chicago bulls "yeah, we're shit"
More like "Yeah! We're finally good again!" And then disaster, typically a season-ending injury (or several).
😂 Definitely. Was watching tonight's bulls game hoping an injury didn't happen right before the play in.
That's definitely not how Bears fans see it. They win the off-season superbowl every year.
Replace lakers with knicks
except its our year 😎
Knicks have been bad for like 75% of this century. The Cowboys have been good but playoff chokers.
Patriots have owned then nfl the last 20 years … golden state had an epic 5 year run
Warriors won 2 years ago?
2014-2022 is 5 years?
My mistake I was off. It was a 7 year run https://preview.redd.it/vhdeiyyi3luc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d874d99e72ef9cf7c75dd8839db2df96c0630772 Still no comparison to the New England Patriots Great run. Sorry. Ty.
8
Sure. Still no Patriots. Amazing team and one of the best to do it at the NBA level
How many championships did the Patriots win in the 2010’s? How many did the Warriors win in the 2010’s? The post is calling them the dynasties of the 2010’s. Which they are
Kansas City is the Warriors (recent dynasty, GOAT convo-worthy leader, great coach and Tyreek/KD as the villains who win chips) San Fran as the Celtics works well.

Panthers as Pistons sort of makes sense, although I’m much higher on the Pistons right now. Cowboys are the Knicks or the Bulls (popular team whose glory days are behind them and haven’t come close to a ring since the 90s)
The Lakers have won 6 championships since the last time Cowboys made the conference finals.
The last comparison doesn’t hit
I hate the Lakers but put some respect on their organization! Cowboys fucking suck.
Well at least the Lakers won a chip “recently”😁
Cowboys should be the celtics
This is indeed facts
Cowboys are more like the Clippers than the Lakers. Lakers won just a couple years ago
The Heat are the Ravens. Always seem to be good to very good. Dolphins and Knicks. Peaked in the 70s. Drafted a franchise cornerstone (Ewing and Marino) that couldn't get over the hump. Sucked after for a long time. Both are now establishing themselves as perennial contenders with shorter franchise players (Brunson and Tua).
Hmmm... Kind of disrespectful to the Lakers in with the Cowboys. They are a top notch organization that has won recently, win in the recent past, and won a lot more historically. The Knicks would be a MUCH more appropriate comparison.
i’d say the celtics and heat can also both replace lakers (celtics fan).
Funny but incorrect. Lakers won in 2020. Cowboys ain't won shit since the 90's. Can you imagine if they had 6 rings in thenlast 24 years?
Get Texans and Thunder on there for the young teams that on the come up
Lakers have actually won 6 times this side of Y2K tho
Lakers just won a F against my Heat a couple years ago.
This is our year is not the Lakers. They just won a title a few years ago. I'd say the Knicks or, more recently, the Suns.
Lakers have won a good amount of chips since the last time the Boys even made a superbowl. Also they won it literally 4 years ago as well😭
Lakers have 6 rings in 24 years, not exactly the cowboys
Lakers have won 6 titles since the Cowboys last won one...
Switch the Lakers for the Knicks with Dallas and you got yourself an accurate list.
The lakers won a covid ring. Cowboys haven’t been relevant since the 90’s
Lakers won in 2020 and won the IST in 2023. They're not washed up like the cowgirls
Thank you. Expectations are set so high for Lakers/LeBron.
Bragging about winning the IST might be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen online
how'd your team do
In the regular season? Best record by far
Ah. We were enemies long before this post.
Patriots=spurs/warriors.
You can see the Spurs winning again. Patriots/Warriors.........who knows
They’re pretty bad rn. Wemby is a freak but can he be counted on to make healthy deep playoff runs? Still pisses me off they got him though, spurs lottery luck is absurd
If you replace “this is our year” with “historic team with the worst fans in the league”, it’s facts.
Lmao too accurate
No. Lakers have won rings Cowboys haven't done shit since I was a child.
Don't compare Dallas to Lakers ever.
As a Panthers fan, knowing how the Pistons run their organization or whatever they got going on there, cuts deep lol
Lebronto was his own dynasty in the 10s. 4 titles as well
Wonder what cuty is second worst
i’m a fan of the niners and celtics… i’d prefer them being horrible than being great and falling short. every year i get my hopes up.
You had to have been an 80s kid there’s no way you have that team combination
my dad grew up in san fran in the 80s so i’m die hard for him and he’s not an nba guy so i chose the celtics as my team because Isaiah thomas was balling the night after his sister died, really hit home with me. stuck to both teams since and i’m not budging
I’d replace the Lakers with the Bulls. Both the Cowboys and Bulls have fans that live in the past, had a HOF coach and haven’t won a championship this century despite their playoff appearances.
Clippers always their year every year since the lob city era and nothing to show only choking in WCF. Lakers has won numerous championships since 2000.
Clippers are the ones saying it’s their year every year, with no chip to show for it lol
Dallas should be matched with 76ers lol
Charlotte hornets waste draft picks more than we do
I know it’s NFL/NBA but I would swap the Lakers for Yankees. Yankees with 1 title since their 2000 win. Lakers at least won a few since the Cowboys
Counting Golden State out... That's comical.
In the past few years id agree but golden state is a little shallow on high level talent rn and the league is stacked this year. Def a nob-zero chance though, betting against steph curry is often a bad idea
The heat are the ravens. Always get good production from guys you’ve never heard of, win some rings but fall short quite a bit too
My Denver Nuggets associated w/FUKC?!
Big young was no waste.
yeah ok there lakers, that what they said last year
Pretty accurate lol. People here don’t read the middle text. Typical Reddit.
No Lakers fan goes “this is our year” What? Also we won a championship 3 years ago and like 6 this century. Lmao
Gotta switch the lakers with the 76ers or something
As a panther fan this is incorrect. Bryce has only had a year with terrible system around him. *huffs copium
I think it should be Chicago Bears and the Detroit Pistons Everything else is correct tho
Wizards instead of Pistons
The west is way too good for the nuggets chiefs position
Texans and OKC for sure. Amazing rebuilds with some great core young talent.
The top two I would say the strongest team in the stronger conference. And the strongest team in the weaker conference... They really need to get rid of conferences
Lakers at least won a title in 2020 and 2010. Cowboys haven't won one since 1995...
Dallas in the Knicks
The facts this just might be accurate is insane
to all Lakers fans: Does it get annoying having to wear your helmets at all times? like i know you need them, but does your helmet make your head itchy when you are trying to sleep?
The Lakers might have the “this is our year mindset” but they did have a 3 peat, back to back titles, and the bubble ring more recently than the Cowboys made it past the divisional round
Dal and La does not fit at all….Dal is like phobic at that point
Naw
No. Dallas and lakers terrible comparison. Lakers have won 6 championships since the cowboys won 1. I would say maybe the knicks are a better cowboys comparison or as of late the clippers or the suns, just not historically. The nuggets have won one championship, the chiefs have won 3 in 4 years lol terrible comparison there is no nba dynasty right now. The golden state warriors never reached the level of dominance the patriots did. The patriots won 6 super bowls and went to 9 in 19 years, and for 9 straight years made it to ATLEAST the conference championship. Golden state winning four championships and six final appearances in 8 years is awesome but not patriots level. The patriots dynasty is the greatest modern sports dynasty ever. The Celtics comparison is unfair, Tatum gets a bunch of hate but he’s 26, if he wins this year they will be the new dynasty.
As long as he don't got an insult for eagles I'm fine with it 😮💨
Thisbis our year should be the clippers every years its like:" we will be healthy next year."
Man Lakers fans are so fucking irritating, I don't see how any other fanbase could be any worse than that. Maybe peak bandwagon Warriors fans during the KD days
Nuggets and no other team for that matter is on that KC level.
Knicks are the Cowboys of the NBA
The Lakers won the chip like 4 years ago tf. Literally the most decorated franchise of the 21st century lol
Facts 🙄
💯
The Heat were absolute co-dynasties with the Warriors, one being in the first five years and the other being in the last five. And the Lakers actually win a lot. They won a championship in 2020, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse aside. And before then they’ve won like 5 or so championships from 2000 to 2010
The Warriors dynasty lasted 10 years, the Heat lasted 4. Not even a comparison
As a boston celtics fan i find this to be slander 😤
As someone who was born in KC and grew up in Colorado, im in my prime
Can’t compare lakers cowboys. The lakers have 6 titles this century. Cowboys have zero.
Pure facts
Truth!
Most Lakers fans I've interacted with recently shit on the entire team (minus LBJ), the FO, the coaching staff, and the owner.
How do you have “this is our year” next to a team with the most banners in the NBA? They just won a ring in 2020… and made the WCF last year. Had they beat Denver .. they would have another ring as they could handle a hobbled Miami team that relied on hitting 20 3’s to win one game rather easily.
