I& #39;m making a deal with the devil to get the NBL& #39;s legacy and accomplishments acknowledged by the @NBA / @NBAHistory...

Hey @Lakers!

Did y& #39;all know you& #39;re actually tied with the Boston Celtics for most championships?

That& #39;s right! You both have 17.

The Minneapolis Lakers won the 1948 NBL title by defeating the Rochester Royals.

But the @NBA / @NBAHistory shamefully don& #39;t acknowledge it.

I suggest to you, @lakers, that y& #39;all update your twitter bio and call yourselves 17x champions.

If the @warriors count their 1947 BAA title in their championship tally, y& #39;all can count your 1948 NBL title.

And if you win tonight, you surpass Boston for total titles.
