Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Los Angeles NBA franchise that Mom always liked best had gone a whole 10 years without winning a championship. Boo-freaking-hoo, right? Twenty-four of the league’s 30 teams have waited longer than that. It’s been 12 years for the Boston Celtics, whom the Lakers tied Sunday with 17 championships. It’s been 16 years for Detroit,...
