It is the 17th NBA Championship win for the Lakers. They are now tied with the Boston Celtics for the most titles.

The last time the Lakers won a title was in 2010, when the team was led by Kobe Bryant who died earlier this year in a helicopter crash.

It is Lebron’s forth title overall, having previously won with Miami and Cleveland.

The Finals’ most valuable player (MVP) LeBron James stepped up to lead his team, recording a ‘triple double’. That meant he scored 28 points, recorded 14 rebounds and helped his team mates with 10 assists.

He was helped out by his team mates Anthony Davis and Rajon Rondo, who both also picked up 19 points.
