2020 is not a title many people (outside a hardcore fanbase bubble) consider meaningful. The conditions where irregular, and the opposition was extremely weak (even though some guys still had the audacity to hype it up to the "toughest title road in history" :lol:

). I felt the Nuggets were the toughest. I think this years' grizzlies might already have been too much for the 2020 Lakers.

For the Lakers and their fans that 2020 title is the most meaningful ring in their rich history outside of 1972 and 1985.

As winning the title in the year that their franchise goat and his daughter died in is very special.

Plus they finally tied the Celtics in titles.

Lakers would have the two best players in this series. Don't think a team like that loses too often. And the ways the Warriors defense flustered the Celtics wouldn't be possible against the Lakers, and they've never had an answer for AD or LeBron individually, let alone together.

Lakers in 6 max, likely 5.

I don't think there is a single team in history to which this Warriors team would lose in 5. Too much experience and resilience on and off the court. Lakers in 6 or 7? That's of course possible. I suppose a lot depends on what you think of AD's run and his ability to replicate it under different circumstances.
