The Los Angeles Lakers won their 15th NBA championship on Sunday night, beating the Orlando Magic in game 5 of the NBA Finals 99-86.

“It’s so tough to win championships,” Kobe Bryant said. “We started over from scratch. Here we are again. This really feels like a dream.”

It took Kobe 7-years but he finally proved he can win an NBA title without Shaquille O’Neal.

“Congratulations kobe, u deserve it,” O’Neal wrote on his Twitter page. “You played great. Enjoy it my man enjoy it.”

Los Angeles coach Phil Jackson now has a championship ring for each finger after winning a record 10th titles and breaking his tie with Red Auerbach as the winningest coach in NBA finals history.

“I’ll smoke the cigar tonight in memory of Red,” Jackson said. “He was a great guy.”

Congratulations to Phil Jackson, Kobe Bryant and the rest of the Los Angeles Lakers!
