L.A. Lakers fans rejoice, Sports Illustrated are releasing a commemorative issue celebrating the Los Angeles Lakers’ NBA championship victory over the Miami Heat.
The Lakers won their 17th NBA title on Sunday — tying them with the Boston Celtics for the most championships among NBA franchises. The magazine will hit newsstands in Los Angeles on Oct. 22 and is available now for purchase online.
The commemorative Lakers issue is a 96-page celebration of the team, players, and history, all culminating in the franchise’s 17th championship win in the strangest and most challenging season in NBA history. Features include playoff coverage of each round, a celebration of the history of the team, and features on LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Kyle Kuzma, Dwight Howard, and Frank Vogel.
Earlier this year, SI celebrated the life and career of Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant with a 100-page commemorative print edition which is available online and can be purchased here.
