This championship comes at a special time for the Laker Nation. After LA Lakers legend Kobe Bryant's sad demise earlier this year, many felt this was the perfect way to pay tribute to the late superstar.

It was only right for the Lakers to win the championship this year!!! That was for Kobe 💛💜

Coach Frank Vogel came up with a tactical masterpiece in Game 6 when he decided to put Alex Caruso in the starting lineup instead of Dwight Howard.

LA Lakers going small against the Miami Heat made a huge impact immediately as Anthony Davis was able to shut down Jimmy Butler in the paint.

LeBron has been the GOAT since June 19th, 2016, everything since then has just widened the gap.

BUT... with this ring, and LeBron still the best player in the league somehow, and with AD playing like this...

Six rings is in play.

With this victory, the LA Lakers are tied with the Boston Celtics with 17 championships in franchise history. LeBron James and Anthony Davis have shown no signs of slowing down, and the Los Angeles team will certainly be the favorites to overtake Celtics in the title-tally in the upcoming season.
