After losing to the Boston Celtics this year for the coveted NBA championship, the Los Angeles Lakers unveil their new jersey that will sport “Celtic Green and Hot Pink”.

According to team spokesperson John Black, "The new Lakers identity is our grand welcome to the Ronnie Turiaf era of Lakers basketball. We were inspired by the Boston Celtics green color as homage to all the luck they have been having, especially with the Kevin Garnett Trade. The Hot Pink was selected to accentuate Ronnie Turiaf's electric dance moves and cheering from the bench."

FYI: The 131-92 win by the Boston Celtics against the Los Angeles Lakers is the 2^nd largest margin in NBA Finals history. The 1^st was the 96-54 win by the Chicago Bulls against the Utah Jazz in 1998.
