Can't stop him!
LA Lakers beat the Orlando Magic in fashion with a final score of 99 - 86 in 5 games (4-1) to become the 2009 NBA Champions.
The Lakers celebrate as the clock expires to 0.
Winning their 15th Championship, this meant a lot to Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher, Phil Jackson, and the rest of the Lakers squad that was re-built after the 2004 season (and after Shaq...no matter what Kobe says).

"And he wanted us to believe that he didn't want to win one without Shaq? He never jumped that high when they won the last three times."
