A former Laker now champion, the fans are unleashed against him!

The Nuggets are now NBA champions, after another victory against the Heat. Mike Malone’s men can relish, including those who haven’t played in the playoffs at all. This is the case of a former Laker, which did not fail to react.

With the Nuggets now NBA champions, a lot of players won their first ring. This is obviously the case of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, just like Thomas Bryant, who was still at the Lakers before the deadline. Except that the pivot asked to leave, not satisfied with his playing time in the City of Angels and his treatment by the coaches.

Number 13 has “won” his bet, since he has just won the title. The problem ? He did not play in the playoffs, completely snubbed by coach Mike Malone. In 18 regular season games, he finished with 11 minutes on average, for 4.6 points and 3.3 rebounds. Suffice to say that Lakers fans were quick to poke fun at the player.

I forgot he was at the Nuggets, they never played him 💀

And yet, Bryant will now be able to retire in the future knowing that he has won at least one ring. We do not know if the pivot finally regrets his trade, especially since he never got playing time. A situation that amuses his former team in any case.

Thomas Bryant did not leave a good memory with the Lakers, especially by asking for his trade for playing time. The pivot did not have any, but still finished NBA champion. We imagine that he should not regret this controversial decision…
