This is what the LA Lakers In-Season Tournament championship banner looks like
The Los Angeles Lakers unveiled their latest banner at Crypto.com Arena on Monday night after winning convincingly in the inaugural NBA competition.
On Monday night, the Los Angeles Lakers held a special ceremony at their downtown Los Angeles arena to celebrate their recent triumph over the Indiana Pacers in the in-season tournament and to unveil their latest addition to the illustrious collection of championship banners adorning the rafters. The event was attended by hundreds of Lakers fans and basketball enthusiasts from around the city.
The ceremony began with a highlight package that chronicled the team’s journey to clinching the in-season tournament title. The package included some of the tournament’s most memorable moments, showcasing the team’s incredible resilience, skill, and teamwork in tough competition.
After the highlight package, the Lakers unveiled their latest championship banner, distinct in size and appearance from the other 12 banners hanging in the rafters. The banner took center stage in a brief ceremony, shrouded in a black curtain ceremoniously pulled away to reveal the Lakers’ latest achievement.
Despite the team’s 114-109 defeat against the New York Knicks on the same night, the moment’s significance was not lost on the Lakers. The team’s players, coaches, and management were all present at the ceremony, along with several former Lakers players and other special guests.
While Lakers owner Jeanie Buss opted not to address the crowd, the event was still memorable for everyone in attendance. The ceremony was a monument to the team’s hard work, dedication, and determination to succeed, and it provided Lakers fans with a glimpse of what’s to come in the future.
