The previous record was held by the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers, which featured LeBron James leading his hometown team to the first title in franchise history. The Lakers now have 17 titles, but the fans were hungry after going nine years between championships and six years between playoff appearances.

Adding the star power of LeBron to an enormous fanbase already in Los Angeles made this one of the most popular NBA teams in history.

After a unique season that featured the entire postseason played in a bubble, this title run will surely be remembered for years.
