Their historic championship win called for a romantic night out. The players were quarantined away from their families for three months in a bubble system coordinated by the NBA to prevent the spread of COVID-19 as the basketball season continued. The 2020 Laker championship also comes with bittersweet glee as the team takes home the ring in the same year as star player Kobe Bryant’s tragic death.

As the theGrio reported, his widow Vanessa Bryant wished the current team congratulations and said she wished her husband was alive to enjoy the victory.

“Wish Kobe and Gianna were here to see this,”  she wrote. Gianna Bryant, 13, and seven others died in the helicopter accident alongside her father.
