A few moments after the Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA championship last October inside the NBA bubble at Disney's ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, one of the cameramen who'd been allowed in to record the celebration happened upon LeBron James and Anthony Davis walking together in a hallway exiting the arena.
They were both drenched in sweat and champagne. And for the first time in the longest season in NBA history, they'd found a moment to rest. The exhaustion of everything they'd been through in the past 11 months was as overwhelming as their joy in winning the title.
