Lakers Left Quinn Cook at the Arena After Winning NBA Championship

The Los Angeles Lakers won the 2020 NBA Finals on Sunday night after defeating the Miami Heat, 106-93, in Game 6, securing the franchises' 17th NBA Championship and LeBron James' fourth title.

The Lakers also wasted no time celebrating such an accomplishment, but they forgot one thing amid all of the joyous activity and jubilation after loading onto the bus: teammate Quinn Cook.

Cook played just 1 minute in Sunday's final, logging goose eggs across the board with one missed 3-point field goal attempt. Apparently his person, similar to his impact, simply slipped the rest of the team's minds amid all of the craziness.

Cook quickly turned to J.R. Smith's Instagram Live feed to alert his teammates to have the bus do a "U Turn" and hang back to the arena to get him.

While he may have played a negligible role in the NBA Finals themselves, Cook will surely be just as thrilled to slide that championship ring onto his finger the same as the rest of the teammates on that bus when the time comes.
