In the 2004 Finals, after the Lakers were beaten by the Pistons, the F4 group disintegrated. The Lakers have entered a rebuilding period.
I was in high school at that time, and NBA was the passion of many men. One morning we left school to have breakfast, and the news of Kobe Bryant scoring 81 points against the Raptors was playing on TV. (At that time, the media was not yet developed, and schools did not allow students to access the Internet. Watching the Basketball Pioneer newspaper and news on street TV were the few basketball entertainment times we had.) Many classmates around me were encouraging fans while watching TV [face covering]. That day, Kobe was the most handsome boy in the world. Although he often did this, it was especially obvious that day. [laughing]
Kobe Bryant scored 81 points in a single game

2010 NBA Championship Los Angeles Lakers
In the years since, the Lakers' record has been good and bad. At the beginning of each season, everyone felt that the Los Angeles people were ready to make a big splash, but at the end of the season, they were empty-handed. (This scene is like Hughes Dunmosaic, winning the championship every year, and studying with the prince every year [slap in the face].)
After the 2015-2016 season, Kobe retired. Since then, Los Angeles has begun to rebuild again.
The end of the 2016 season, Kobe Bryant retired.
In the 2018-2019 season, the league's first man moved west to Los Angeles. James joined the Lakers in his first season, and the Lakers missed the playoffs.
In the summer of 2019, Anthony Davis joined the Lakers, and the league was trembling. Everyone understood that this time LeBron was going to cause trouble.
The 2019-2020 season is destined to be remembered by history. Superstar Kobe Bryant crashed in a helicopter crash. He is the most influential star in the post- Jordan era. He is the top ten star in the history of the league. He is the youth of countless people. .

Countless people know that the Lakers' goal this season is to win the championship and then say "KB, this is for you." But everyone knows it won't be easy, especially when the opponent is the Miami Heat. This Eastern Conference team has reached the Finals again after many years. The last time they stood on this stage, the guy opposite was still the Heat's number one star. Jimmy Butler In the finals, people all over the world saw how the toughest man in the NBA plays. He led the civilian Heat to fight the Lakers in 6 games and finally lost.In Game 6, Butler was obviously not as strong as in Game 5, but LeBron on the opposite side still scored 28 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists as usual to win the game. This can only make everyone understand that LeBron is still the same LeBron. Although Butler is already very good, he met LeBron. The Lakers got their wish and won the 17th championship in team history. Celtics in the East, Lakers in the West. In the course of the development of the times, these old rivals have always moved forward in a tacit understanding of each other, even winning the same number of championships.
2000-2002, the Lakers started their century journey with three consecutive championships. This is the league's latest three-peat. Even the subsequent Cosmos Yong could not complete it. We can write a separate article to discuss the story here.
2009-2010, the Los Angeles people handed over a ten-year answer sheet with two consecutive championships. Five championships in ten years, this record can only be described in cowhide.
2011-2020, at the end of another decade, the Purple and Gold Army won the championship again. This time, LeBron leads the Lakers back to the top.
James also won his fourth championship trophy and his fourth FMVP. Many people think that LeBron already has enough capital to chase the second person in history, but in my opinion, he is already the first person in history. He had a longer career than the old gangster.
He has never been famous for scoring, but his scoring can surpass Jordan and rank third in history. And this number is still increasing, and there is a high probability that it will rank second in NBA history.
He has never been known for his rebounds, let alone an inside player, but his rebounds have ranked 48th in NBA history. The only active players ahead of him are DeAndre Jordan , and Howard . (Chandler has not retired yet, but there is a high probability that he will retire next season).
He has never been known for assists, he is not a point guard. But the number of assists ranks eighth in history. Among active players, only Chris Paul is slightly higher than him. You must know that all the players ahead of him are point guards.
His total points in the playoffs rank first in history, far ahead of the old gangster.
His finals score ranks second in history, only less than logo man Jerry West .
He is the first player in history to lead three teams to championships and win FMVP.
After James, many talented players were once dubbed LeBron's successors, but none of them could reach the peak as long as James. There are some things in that have nothing to do with talent, such as self-discipline, leadership, and a championship heart.
