  Ms. ROYBAL-ALLARD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Los 
Angeles Lakers on winning the National Basketball Association 
Championship. As a native of Los Angeles, I could not be more proud of 
our team's achievement. The Los Angeles Lakers have a history of 
phenomenal success and great basketball. Yesterday's win was their 
sixth championship in two decades. The Lakers are stars, and they have 
dominated the game of basketball. They have made us proud.
