The Los Angeles Lakers won a record-equalling 17th NBA championship when LeBron James led them to victory against his former Miami Heat team. It was an incredible end to a pandemic-struck season, and the Laker faithful are on cloud nine. But what about the LA Clippers fans? 

In a rivalry, it is but obvious that when one team wins, fans of that team will make sure to mock their adversaries. This was the case with the Clippers and the Lakers who were the mighty favorites when the season began. However, the Clippers fell short in the conference semi-finals. 

On the other hand, the Lakers ended their campaign successfully by restoring every bit of the faith that fans had in them. As LeBron James masterfully played his way to a Finals triple-double, things never really looked bright for Miami.
