6 seasons removed from their last which included two miserable finals appearances, a trade demand and a complete overhaul of their roster, the Los Angeles Lakers won their 15th title as a franchise last night beating the Orlando Magic, 99-86. The championship also represents head coach Phil Jackson’s 10th title pushing him ahead of the Boston Celtic’s Red Auerbach who had 9 for the all-time lead among NBA coaches.
From the likes of Smush Parker, Luke Walton and Kwame Brown to Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom and Derick Fisher as his band mates, Kobe finally gets his.
But who are we kidding? This is all just a sorry excuse to rebroadcast perhaps the most excellent moment in the history of championship parades. From 2001 championship…
Congratulations to the Los Angeles Lakers who in addition to being the team of the 80s, cement their status, with 4 titles and 6 finals appearances in this decade, as the team of the aughts.

My gosh, that 3-peat was back in the stone ages.
I ain't for certain... But I reckon that back then that BwD didn't exist, that The Creator didn't even have a computer, and that The Creator didn't even (gasp!) have a cell phone!
That Mongo was gainfully employed with a (gasp!) 40 hour a week job (Pfft! What was he thinking with that!).
That the Sacramento Kings were a real thorn in the side -- what with White Chocolate and all...
That European basketball players -- especially the big men -- were not described by the announcers as being "A dominant force"...
That USC was losing to lowly MWC Conference teams like Utah in bowl games. That Utah was beating lowly BCS teams like USC -- and now Utah, well, beats lowly BCS teams like Alabama.
There were things called newspapers with results, facts, and figures that I could feel beneath my fingers.
Ah, yes, I remember it Well...
