[quote=Fletch59 post_id=6394 time=1703010714 user_id=72] The Los Angeles Lakers helped legitimize the inaugural In-Season Tournament as they took each of their games seriously en route to winning the first-ever NBA Cup. The Lakers were the only team to finish the tournament with a perfect record, going 7-0 and beating the Indiana Pacers in the championship game in Las Vegas. It was a wonderful run for Los Angeles, who clearly looked like a different team given what was at stake for the players and their legacies. After winning the tournament, there was some debate as to [url=https://lakersnation.com/lakers-undecided-on-raising-banner-if-they-win-nba-in-season-tournament-championship/]whether or not the Lakers would hang a banner[/url] to commemorate the occasion.

Harper also won three titles as a member of the Chicago Bulls, so he knows exactly what it’s like to climb the NBA mountaintop. For older players like Harper, hanging a banner for the In-Season Tournament understandably doesn’t sit right with them given the significance of an NBA championship.

The team did not make a big spectacle over the banner unveiling as the ceremony only lasted a few minutes before they started the game against New York.
