Why do people praise the Nuggets 2023 playoffs but downplay the Lakers in 2020? (alien.top)

People say the Lakers had an easy run to the finals in 2020 yet they faced the top teams and stomped them convincingly while the Nuggets get a lot of praise as one of the GOAT teams and playoff runs of all time even though they faced 3 teams that were seeded 7 or below with the only team above that being a measly 4th seed. Does this have to do with Jokic being more likeable and relatable than LeBron or something?

Bro, do you understand play-offs ?

more wins team plays less wins team.

If a less wins team beats the more wins team, you should be especially afraid of such a team, as they managed to pull it off in a first to win 4 series, while playing more away than home games.

And it all happens after playing 82 games, for extra 16-28 games. Played in a spawn of 6 months.
