On Sunday, October 11, 2020, the Los Angeles Lakers won their 17th NBA championship by defeating the Miami Heat in the 6th game of the NBA Finals. Because (for some reason) the Lakers count 5 titles won while the team played in Minneapolis, their humble fan base can now say that the Lake Show is tied with the Boston Celtics for most NBA championships won.
Personally, I had mixed feelings about the Lakers’ most recent success. On the one hand, I lamented that, with this latest championship, my social media feeds would be filled with Laker braggadocios, most of whom have no actual connection with Los Angeles.
