Congratulations to the Milwaukee Bucks for defeating the Phoenix Suns tonight and winning their first NBA championship in 50 years! I was actually rooting for the Suns (since they beat the L.A. Clippers, who I despise as a Lakers fan), but the Bucks' latest title should resonate with folks who still miss Kobe Bryant one-and-a-half years after he passed away. In 2017, Kobe challenged the Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo to win the NBA's Most Valuable Player award...which he did in 2019 and last year, respectively. Making Kobe's challenge all the more significant is the fact that Antetokounmpo now has a Finals MVP trophy in his collection. The Mamba's legacy continues to live on—even with those who don't play for the Lakers.

On a related note, will the Lakers join the Bucks during their eventual visit to the White House? The L.A. Dodgers celebrated their 2020 World Series title with President Biden and Vice President Harris about three weeks ago, while the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers dropped by the White House earlier today. COVID-19 protocols stopped LeBron James, Anthony Davis and company from meeting Biden and Harris after they took office... It would be great if the Lake Show was given a second opportunity to hand customized jerseys to the two most powerful people in the world as well. We'll see.
