It's been a long year for the Lakers but they proved Sunday exactly why they deserved to win this years NBA championship beating the Magic 4-1. The competition they faced in the playoffs was definitely more competitive compared to last years but once they beat Denver a team everyone was hopping on the bandwagon to beat the Lakers I knew the Magic didn't have a chance. This Championship ranks #2 for me after they beat the 2000 Pacers in the finals. This championship was important for a lot of reasons. Phil finally got his 10th ring, kobe got the monkey off his back shutting up critics about not getting a title without Shaq, and I have this feeling this team has what it takes to have a 3peat if everyone stays healthy. It's been a great year and I couldn't be any more happier as a sports fan
