The city of Los Angeles has always had a strong sports culture. However, they had to endure some tough times before watching the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Dodgers win their respective championships.

Los Angeles lost arguably its biggest icon in Kobe Bryant in January. Then, the Los Angeles Lakers won their first NBA Championship in 10 years, and the Los Angeles Dodgers put an end to a 32-year World Series drought.

Obviously, the emotions are high in Los Angeles right now. The people have gone through a lot, and they couldn’t even be present in their team’s titles because of the Covid-19 pandemic, which only makes things worse.
