One year ago today, the Lakers celebrated a league-leading 17th NBA title in front of the Laker faithful. While it may not have been a packed house, this marked the first time fans were allowed in the building following the strict Covid-19 health and safety protocols that prevented any capacity of live attendance.
The 2020 NBA Championship run was nothing short of spectacular and unique. From a pause in play during the regular season in mid-March to contending for the Larry O’Brien Trophy inside the Orlando Bubble, the Purple and Gold posted a 16-5 record with series wins over Portland, Houston, Denver, and Miami.
