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?

Lakers is the most famous franchise, naturally, they have the most haters. Just like Man Utd in football.

Except Man Utd isn't the most famous team. It's Real Madrid and it's not close
