2013 Heat vs 2020 Lakers who wins in a best of 7 playoff series against each other.

Who wins a best of 7 between those two teams in your eyes?



Size and rebounding would be a huge problem for the 2013 Heat as shown in real life with Davis on the Lakers but I also feel that 2013 Lebron's is so much better than his 2020 self he is great now and an MVP caliber player but he pales in comparison to that timeframe of his younger self.




Therefore Heat in 6 for me

Wade was a shell of himself in the playoffs, and after seeing Hibbert and old man Duncan dominate I shudder to think what AD & Dwight would do to the Heat's frontcourt. I got the Lakers in 6

Was he dealing with a knee bruise or something else relating to his knees that playoff run as I swear his overall play declined massively from where it was in the heat's 27 game win steak where he looked amazing.




Then in the playoffs, he seemed very inconsistent with his play overall besides a couple of games where he went off such as in game 4 of the 2013 finals where he looked like his old self again.

Wade's shell = typical Pippen


Wade 2013 Finals..... 19.6 on 47%

Pippen 6 Finals.......'.. 19.0 on 42%


The Heat had a big 3, so Wade wasn't needed in the weak Eastern Playoffs, but averaged 20/5/5 on 47% in the Finals, while outscoring the opposing #1 option - that would rank as arguably Pippen's best Finals.

Who the hell is talking about pippen dumbass?

The obsession of the Bulls is ridiculous, you've got some serious issues.

comparing 13' Wade to Pippen is a good way to show that Wade was still good...

but Wade's expectation during his prime was simply a lot higher than Pippen's, so people were disappointed when he fell to Pippen level from 13-16'.

Facts gonna facts.. don't kill the messenger.. Wade had a 26 PER in 2012 (top 5 in league), but fell to a 21 PER from 13-16' (Pippen level)

It's your problem if you can't handle the facts and want to believe your own truth

2020 Lakers.

2013 was dinosaur basketball.

Imagine 90s basketball vs 2020 Lakers. 2020 LeBron with the 2009 cast would sweep every team in the 90s.
