The 2009-10 Los Angeles Lakers earned their 16th NBA title after winning their second consecutive championship. Coached by Phil Jackson and led once again by Kobe Bryant, the team posted a 57- 25 regular season record, which placed them first in the Western Conference on their road to repeat. In the post-season, the Lakers stepped it up a gear and proceeded to beat, in succession, the Oklahoma City Thunder, Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns before knocking off their arch-rival Boston Celtics in a hard-fought, seven-game NBA Finals.
