Philadelphia 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey is a well-respected executive around the league. He's won everywhere he's been, though he's still looking for that first NBA championship.

Well, those fans who won't give the Lakers credit could be backed up by an NBA executive. Philadelphia 76ers president of basketball operations, Daryl Morey, told the Athletic that people around the league privately agree the championship isn't genuine.

At least one NBA executive believes the L.A. Lakers’ NBA championship in the bubble in 2020 should carry an asterisk. Daryl Morey, the President of the Philadelphia 76ers, told The Athletic it should. “Had the Rockets won the title, I absolutely would have celebrated it as legitimate, knowing the immense effort and resilience required,” he said.
