It took him one groin injury, one pandemic, one bubble at Disney, and five games in the NBA Finals but LeBron James lived up to his word and now the Lakers are tied with the Boston Celtics as the team with most rings in the history of the NBA.

“Believe Me. #LakerNation the spell won’t last much longer! I swear. The marathon continues,” James commented on an Instagram post when the Lakers were knocked off from playoff contention in 2019.

Not only did the King live by his word to lead the Lakers back to the postseason for the first time in 7 years but he also took them back to the ultimate stage for the first time in a decade, and capped it off by getting the Finals MVP honors.
