La-La Land

Congratulations to the Los Angeles Lakers for their 15th NBA Title. For those of you counting at home, the Lakers have more titles than do the Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, and Chicago Bulls combined. They have fifteen titles; their cross-town rivals (or "rivals," as they are rivals in the sense that Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote are rivals) the L.A. Clippers have none.

This just goes to show. All you need to win a title is heart. And determination. And pluck. And grit. And one of the two best players in basketball. And a pair of All-Star forwards. And some talented role players. And a deep bench. And an enormous payroll. And perhaps the greatest coach in basketball history. Yes, any team really can win it all, provided that team is the Lakers.
