One by one, Lakers players and coaches walked toward center court Tuesday night to receive their 2008-09 championship keepsake from David Stern and Lakers executive vice president Jeanie Buss.
Not the Larry O'Brien trophy that stays with the owner Jerry Buss and the team. Not the franchise's 15th championship banner that was unveiled (ever so slowly) in the rafters for the fans. And not even a free Jack in the Box coupon those also went home with the hungry Lakers' faithful.
No, for the players, there was something even more coveted than a sloppy 99-cent taco the bling, baby.
