An extremely lucky bounce by Celtic Don Nelson stole the title from this team in game 7 in 1969. The following year, West himself made a miraculous 64-foot buzzer beater that would have won the title in the "3-point era", but the shot was only worth 2 points, forcing overtime, which the Lakers lost.

To be fair nobody saw this team coming in 2014. However our core players like Mike Moustakas,Eric Hosmer, Alceides Escobar,Salvador Perez,Lorenzo Cain, and Alex Gordon had the talents to win multiple titles.

And now that's why we're going back to the dark age.
