Led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Los Angeles Lakers were crowned the 2020 champions after defeating the Miami Heat in six games in the NBA Finals.
James silenced critics and further cemented his legacy after being unanimously voted the 2020 NBA Finals MVP, becoming the first player league history to win the honor for three different franchise. Meanwhile, Jeanie Buss made history as well as she became the first female NBA owner to win a title.
The Lakers’ success was hard-earned and a testament to the organization devoting themselves to working together. It is a sharp contrast to how they operated a year ago when Magic Johnson was still serving as president of basketball operations before abruptly re-signing prior to the end of the 2018-19 season.
