who were supposed to win the crown - thus the Lakers have just won a legitimate lineal "the team who beat the team" title.
(1) Nuggets beat the Clippers - who were supposed to be the "dogs" of the league and title favorites. Lakers stomped out the Nuggets in 5 - thus beating the "man who beat the man" - and in this instance, the alleged king of the court (Kawhi).
(2) Heat dispatched the #1 (league-wide) seed Bucks, thus becoming the "man who beat the man." Lakers ousted them in 6.
By proxy - the Lakers beat the teams who beat the teams (favorites).
Unprecedented. Historic. Novel.
GOAT.
