Amidst the COVID-19, many fans are still wondering how the Los Angeles Lakers will celebrate the championship to ensure safety?
After a decade of waiting, the LA Lakers are finally very close to the 17th championship in the team’s history. LeBron James and his teammates are only 1 game away from the trophy, and they are holding a lot of mental and force advantages to do so.
In the City of Angels, Lakers fans started thinking about the celebration, but this year things were very different because of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. So the gathering of people is always limited to the maximum.
On the Staples Center home page, the Los Angeles Lakers home ground recently released a statement answering this question: “The Staples Center and the L.A LIVE platform will not broadcast the 5 NBA Finals game tomorrow.”
All the digital signs or big screen TVs in the city of Los Angeles will not show any of the Finals. All are encouraged to watch the game and celebrate responsibly at home!
Currently, California tops the list of states infected with COVID-19 in the US, with a total of 847,000 cases being positive for this strain. Therefore, the decisions of the Staples Center as well as the LA Lakers received the consent of the city officials and residents.
Some conscious fans are calling for everyone to stay at home, after the pandemic has been controlled the most epic celebration will still be held. However, the City Police Department said: they have considered the case of small groups of fanatical fans still gather to celebrate, even parade in the street. Depending on the case, they may be warned or even detained if they do not cooperate.
The LA Lakers last appeared at the NBA Finals in 2010, when Kobe Bryant brought back his fifth ring, which was also the last of his career. A decade ago, the yellow shirt army returned to the final match and are doing their best to pay tribute to the late legendary Lakers!
