2020 was a year that no Lakers fan would ever forget in their lifetime. The shock, the comeback, the criticism, the win, and now a new team; fans saw it all. With the ring ceremony to conclude it, there was no better way to end the year. 

The ceremony was unlike anything fans had ever witnessed. Rather than 20,000 fans roaring from the stands, there were potentially 20 million+ fans rooting for the organization from their home, and the Lakers management ensured that the ceremony remained memorable. 

The ceremony simply mesmerized Magic Johnson

Former Lakers great and 5-time NBA Champion, Magic Johnson took to Twitter to share his happiness. He loved the fact that the celebration virtually included the family members of every ring owner. This gave out a message that it is their loved ones sitting back home that gave power to these players and staff to perform and bring laurels for their city.

The 61-YO legend noted the fact that Lakers’ President Jeanie Buss included former Lakers in her speech. Jeanie named JaVale McGee, Rajon Rondo, Dwight Howard, Danny Green, Avery Bradley, Troy Daniels, Dion Waiters, JR Smith, and DeMarcus Cousins. She mentioned how they’re an intrinsic part of the Lakers’ legacy, no matter where they are today.

LeBron’s mother, Gloria Marie James, and his kids, Zhuri, Bryce, and Bronny also showered their love and respect on Bron for his hard work.
