No ice, Rudy Giuliani, Dion Waiters and other Lakers championship moments

The Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA Championship on Sunday night and led to a couple of great moments online.

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers finished off the Miami Heat in Sunday night’s Game 6 to win the 2020 NBA Championship, unleashing over a year of emotions and accomplishments in the celebration. The Lakers were in celebration mode as soon as the game ended on Sunday night and as they were for the whole season, LeBron and Anthony Davis were attached at the hip. As both were leaving the arena to get on the bus and get back to the hotel, LeBron gave Anthony Davis a little bit of a heads up that he’s about to be sorer than he’s ever been this season, because the game after you win a championship is the only game after which you don’t ice.

The Lakers were also a team filled with great redemption story arcs. Perhaps none more complete with twists and turns than that of Dwight Howard, who left the Lakers after the 2012-13 season, but returned in 2019-20 as an instrumental part of their championship run. On Instagram Live, he told his followers to “never give up on your dreams,” while fighting back tears.

Dion Waiters, who came to the Lakers from Miami by way of a trade to Memphis, was suspended multiple times by the Heat earlier this season. Waiters said on Instagram Live during the celebration that he was targeted by the Heat organization, but he had the last laugh.

Then in the hater category, we had perhaps the most hilarious tweet of that genre coming from former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, who said the Lakers parade should be in China.

The Lakers are champions again, muscles are sore and emotions are high. But the celebration is only beginning.
