*Two nights ago they couldn’t get the job done, but Sunday night at “The Bubble” in Orlando, in game 6 of the 2020 NBA Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers captured their 17th title.
 The Lakers dominated and rolled to a 106-93 win over the Miami Heat, ending on a high note, one of the most turbulent seasons in league history.
Part of that turbulance was of course caused by the coronavirus pandemic. But for the Lakers and the organization and basketball fans, it was 10 months ago that Kobe Bryant, his 12-year-old daughter Gianna, and seven others died in a helicopter crash along the California coast. And although most of the current Lakers never played alongside Bryant, the team’s championship run still served as a meaningful tribute to his legacy, which included the club’s previous five league crowns.
“Ever since the tragedy, all we wanted to do was do it for him,” said Lakers star Anthony Davis. “We didn’t want to let him down.”
“It’s a tough moment,” Davis continued. “He was a big brother to all of us.”
Meanwhile, to no one’s surprise, LeBron James was the NBA Finals MVP.
