The Gauntlet Run of 2010 🐍

The 2010 Western Conference was an absolute battlefield every playoff team had 50+ wins.

The Lakers’ path to the title:
They went through the 50-win Thunder, Jazz, Suns, and then the 50-win Celtics Big X in a gritty X games in the Finals.

Kobe Bryant hit X game-winners that season — if he missed those, the Lakers might’ve dropped to the 8th seed. He did it all while battling through a sprained ankle, knee swelling, and an avulsion fracture on the index finger of his shooting hand. 😤

This wasn’t just a championship run — it was a war.
And the Black Mamba came out on top. 🐍🏆
