    Whereas, during the 2020 NBA playoffs, the Lakers defeated the Portland Trailblazers, the Houston Rockets, the Denver Nuggets, and the Miami Heat on the way to a 16–5 overall record;

    Whereas the victory by the Lakers marks the record-tying 17th NBA Championship of the franchise;

    Whereas every member of the 2019–2020 Lakers team played a key role in the record-tying championship, including—

    (1) Kostas Antetokounmpo;

    Whereas the entire Lakers organization, including owner Jeanie Buss, general manager Rob Pelinka, and head coach Frank Vogel, deserves congratulations for continuing the excellence of the franchise;

    Whereas the Lakers overcame an unprecedented season stemming from the coronavirus pandemic, including a shutdown that lasted more than 3 months and 95 days inside the NBA “bubble”;

    Whereas the entire Lakers team and organization honored the legacy of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant by winning the 2020 NBA Championship, showing “Mamba Mentality” throughout the playoffs; and

    Whereas, although fans of the Lakers could not be in the arena to cheer on their team, Lakers Nation was vital in showing unmatched support for the team on the way to an NBA Championship: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved,

That the Senate—
