Los Angeles Lakers 1980 NBA Championship Ring | Employee Version

Sotheby’s is proud to offer this gold Los Angeles Lakers 1980 NBA Championship Ring. 

Led by the dynamic duo of Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Lakers overcame challenges and showcased their dominance with a 60-22 regular-season record. The playoff journey, marked by memorable victories over formidable opponents, culminated in a thrilling NBA Finals against the Philadelphia 76ers. Magic Johnson's iconic performance in Game 6, filling in admirably for the injured Abdul-Jabbar, sealed the championship with a 4-2 series win. 

The 1980 title not only solidified the Lakers as a basketball powerhouse but also marked the beginning of Magic Johnson's legendary career, leaving an enduring legacy in the NBA's storied history.
