This is a tad late since the season has been over for about a month, but the Los Angeles Lakers are the world champions. Despite the unique circumstances and conditions this Laker team endure some obstacles and came out on top beating a very tough and competitive Miami Heat led by Jimmy Butler that simply ran out of gas and had key injuries that made them inadequate to challenge the Lakers led by LeBron James and his young counterpart Anthony Davis making his first finals appearance.
The series may not have been exciting as far as bringing in the casual crowd, but for the die hard basketball fans it was probably one of the more competitive, fun atmosphere series in awhile because the bubble setting having that AAU tournament feel all throughout the restart. This title adds to LeBron’s already supreme legacy with 4 championships, 4 finals MVPs, but is the first player to lead three different teams to championships depending on how you view that as an accomplishment or detriment but naturally it spark the age old question where does his legacy rank against Michael Jordan’s?
The answer is very simple and underwhelming for starters it doesn’t because technically it’s not done, it is also not the same careers as far as paths and directions and yes what we judge legacies on (Titles, wins, overall success in the Finals) may lean towards Michael, LeBron is on pace to have a 20 year career and could catch MJ’s ring total so my answer is hold on this argument until LeBron is retired and then we all can crunch the numbers, revisit the moments and finally have a real answer or something close to it.
But back to the purple and gold who normally are not the most beloved team in the association but this season was an exception because of what happen to Laker great Kobe Bryant and his tragic death earlier this year only made it right for a storybook ending with the Lakers winning the Larry O’Brien trophy in honor of the Black Mamba fulfilling the destiny which they did. Along doing they also made some history making owner Jeanie Buss the first female governor to win a championship following the footsteps of her father the great Dr. Jerry Buss, as well validating GM Rob Polinka’s risky decisions in the beginning paid off in the result of a title.
This may have been a set back of season for the NBA in many views but for the feeling fun or love of playing basketball it exceeded or revived that feeling beginning and hopefully leads to using some of the new play in concepts for the playoffs for the lower seeds to make things competitive but the happy story book ending the NBA needed with the Lakers winning the title bringing it back to Hollywood.
