and it was in profound sadness with the loss of kobe bryant his daughter and those seven others but tonight the laker fans can unite enjoy as they celebrate a title this championship season as you see davis and james it's all coming out you know one of to me one of the great pleasures of this job every year is watching they become little kids again when that title is realized when it's finally over and all the work all the sweat all the practices all the travel and in this case all this time in the bubble ends up with what they all set out for as their number one and only goal you know what each guy invested and lebron is thinking i promised this guy this i told him that things would be different and to finish it off they all should be extremely proud i'm sure they are back in los angeles again that's why howard knocks down a three-pointer there's the exclamation point he will just bring it up the lakers will win game six and now cook can just dribble it out and j.r smith already shirtless [Laughter] final seconds here in this nba season the respect from those two and that's it it's over this historic 2020 nba championship belongs to the los angeles lakers the lakers conquer the bubble and banner number 17 will soon hang in the raptors such an emotional time for these la lakers and also emotional for jimmy butler and the miami heat as we said a painful way for a great season to come to an end always so inspiring when an individual or a team over achieves or accomplishes the unexpected that's what the heat did but they ran up against a laker team that defensively just steamrolled him here tonight so much more ahead in the celebration the trophy presentation the naming of the finals mvp it's all ahead as the lakers win the 2020 championship giannis has it to
