It's a known fact that Rihanna is a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers, so it was natural for the Barbadian singer and songwriter to celebrate in a Kobe Bryant jersey after her team claimed its 17th NBA championship on Sunday night.

Much like many other Lakers fans around the globe, Rihanna took to social media to express her excitement following the big win, belting out “We are the Champions” by Queen near what appears to be an RV. It's not clear where this celebration took place, but the area was filled with purple and gold:

The Lakers had a shot at closing out the 2020 NBA Finals in five games. However, they were defeated in Game 5 — even while wearing their Black Mamba jerseys. Notably, it was the only loss the team took in these playoffs while wearing those kits.

Game 6 was a far different story, however, as Los Angeles cruised to a 106-93 victory behind a solid team effort. LeBron James, who took home his fourth Finals MVP award, led the Lakers with 28 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists. Anthony Davis posted a nice double-double, racking up 19 points and 15 rebounds. With the win, the Lake Show tied the Boston Celtics for the most championships in NBA history.

Speaking of LeBron… Rihanna has long been a fan of The Akron Hammer. As part of her caption, she wrote, “LeBron remains The King.” She also noted that Kobe Bryant, who passed away in a helicopter crash earlier this year, would be proud.
