The Los Angeles Lakers have won 16 championships in their history, most of which I couldn’t watch because I wasn’t alive yet. However, when they started winning in the early 2000’s, that’s when my attention to Kobe Bryant and the Purple and Gold started reaching its peak.
I’ve seen so many games, wins and losses, but none will ever be as important to me as when the Lakers won the championship over the Boston Celtics six years ago. And in honor of Kobe Bryant Day, I’d like to reminisce on where I was when Bryant won his fifth NBA title, in turn beating the rival that pummeled them just two years prior.
