This is serious now—in a good way. For a franchise that has always been about championships, this is the time you win a series and play for the championship … or you don’t.

The Lakers’ historical dominance of the NBA is reflected foremost in their 31 NBA Finals appearances, 50 percent more than even the Boston Celtics’ 21.

The Lakers play for championships.

And they’re one series away from doing it again, but doing it for the first time in 10 years. So, the feeling is uniquely refreshing, even if the franchise is accustomed to being here.
