Incorrect number of championships[edit]

The lakers have 16 titles not 17 as the fraudulent ring given to Lebron James by Mickey Mouse at disneyland in 2020 was not a real ring and does not count 2600:100F:B1BF:6176:7C13:FDE8:6F1D:D3BB (talk) 20:16, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are wrong.Spanneraol (talk) 20:27, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So mad your team didn’t win the Disney ring 2600:100C:B0AC:B3D5:914D:A170:AC0E:5A3C (talk) 00:42, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Laker don't have 18 championships.[edit]

This info is incorrect. The 17th shouldn't count either, but they are have 17 titles. Crawfordkp (talk) 21:52, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you cite reliable sources that support this? —Bagumba (talk) 23:14, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article is correct.. the Lakers won 17 NBA championships and one from the predecessor NBL league. Why wouldn't any of them count? Spanneraol (talk) 02:33, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2020 Championship[edit]

Covid in a dome many games canceled. Delete or asterisk it! 75.71.122.140 (talk) 23:54, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The NBA played almost a full season... the playoffs were played in their entirety. It was a fair season so it definitely counts. Leave it. Spanneraol (talk) 00:00, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's no WP:WEIGHT in reliable sources to downplay this. —Bagumba (talk) 09:23, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Lakers have 18 Championships[edit]

The Lakers have 1 NBL championship and 17 NBA championships. This is a total of 18 championships. On the Detroit Pistons' Wikipedia page, both NBL and NBA championships are listed and totaled. Likewise, to present the Lakers' complete history, their NBL championship must be listed and totaled with their NBA championships, as well. Mlmanous (talk) 12:03, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes.. and it was until someone erased it yesterday. That vandalism has been reversed. Spanneraol (talk) 13:04, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
