For a fleeting moment, it looked like Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat might just steal the victory right out from under the Lakers, but in the end, the King proved victorious.
The Los Angeles Lakers won this year’s NBA Championship in six games, and LeBron James got to capture his fourth career NBA title and fourth Finals MVP.
Not bad, huh?!
The win is unique for more reasons than just that, though, and we’re not just talking about the bubble!
LeBron, who also won with the Cavs and twice with the Heat, won a Championship with a third different NBA team, but he wasn’t the only current Laker who completed the feat tonight. Danny Green has also won three titles with three teams, which included the San Antonio Spurs and the Toronto Raptors before this win with LA.
Green and James are only the third and fourth people to accomplish this, and join Robert Horry and John Salley in the elite group.
This is definitely a unique and incredible accomplishment, and we love to see the joy it’s bringing on such a tough year.
