June 17, 2010, was a night Los Angles Lakers fans will never forget as Kobe Bryant and the team beat the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of the NBA Finals to clinch the 16th championship in franchise history.
This was the second of back-to-back championships for the Lakers, giving Bryant a total of five in his illustrious career.

5. Derek Fisher hits a classic late-game 3-pointer
