A wise man once said that friends come and go, but banners hang forever.
Although recent actions from Celtics star Jayson Tatum would lead you to believe otherwise, that man did not play for Boston. His name was Kobe Bryant, and while he maintained a close relationship with Tatum, he played for the rival Lakers.
The Celtics and the Lakers are currently tied for the most championships in league history, as each has won seventeen titles. However, if Boston defeats the Warriors and wins the title this year, it would maintain the sole ability to call itself the winningest franchise in basketball.
