Morey: LeBron's Bubble Championship "Illegitimate" (?!?) | HARD PASS Ep. 24

LeBron James’ 2020 Bubble championship is under fire from 76ers GM Daryl Morey, who calls it "illegitimate" and says "many in the league see it with a giant asterisk." 🤔 But was it really a fluke, or did the Lakers earn every bit of it? Doug breaks down the context, the backstory, and why the “asterisk” debate refuses to die. Plus: Luka’s surprise Foot Locker appearance, Angel Reese catching strays from John Kruk, a bizarre LeBron AI rumor, and Kuminga trending.
