At the end of the most unique and unbelievable season in the history of the sport, it was the Los Angeles Lakers who found themselves at the top of the mountain after defeating the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals.
The Lakers dominated throughout the regular season, effectively locking up the top seed in the Western Conference before the league was shut down for five months. Then, led by the outstanding play of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, they would run through the Western Conference before holding off the tough Heat to bring the franchise its 17th title and first since 2010.
