YEAH BABY!!! 
Finally, finally, finally, the championship is back in LA where it belongs. Who would've thought we would have won it in 5? Amazing. I really celebrated my ass off tonight. Topped it off with a fine cigar and yeah, I savored the feeling. Can't wait for the parade baby. I'll be there.

Its too bad we also blew 15 championships. We could have had 30 right now. Atleast 20.
Well atleast we won half of our Finals appearances.

Odom,Butler,Grant and 1st for Shaq.
Lamar makes it sound like he was traded straight up for Shap.  |

Well to be fair. He was the centerpiece of that trade. Butler was just peaking from an unknown and Grant was on his final legs.
This is the main reason the Laker fanbase has always been harsh and critical on Lamar's performance year to year. Everything he did was put under a microscope.
Pau was put into a low pressure situation where fans were happy to see him come in and Kwame out. As opposed to the Lamar's situation where you got a huge fan based guy in Shaq leaving... |

You might be able to catch a replay of all the interviews on NBA TV. I finally got sick of ABC cutting off interviews to switch back to all those jackasses lighting fires at the Staples Ctr.
Can't believe ABC cut away from Phil mid-interview just as we was giving an anecdote about how Kobe has matured into a leader.
Overall, I thought all the Lakers gave great interviews to the press that were very honest and poignant without doing all that crying the media loves so much.

| thankfully we won last night becasue i went to game 3, couldnt go to game 4. there were plenty of laker fans in the building and gave the team a nice "let's go lakers!" chant. always nice to win on your home court and the LA laker fans and jack did deserve to see them win in LA but we represented very nicely in orLAndo. GO LAKERS!!!!!! one more thing, what's up with that buss kid? hope he ain't the future. |

LOL!
I love Orlando, they are considered the title contender force. They are class player.
Skills: you can learn really fast. It is Act and Habit that matter.
However, it is still thank them to give us Ariza 
And for Cook, if I remember correctly, they trade Cook for some really good player (Tudo or Lewis if I remember correctly) so screw them |

Thank you for being classy opponents (save from Pietrus' lovetap in Game 4).
I can't really hate on that team. Lots of class, right up to their coach.

| Thank you for disposing those (bleep) Celtics and Cavs and not even giving them a chance to be on the same court as the Lakers in the final round. |

|

Anyone notice the silence after Mark Jackson mentioned that Kobe was in the game at the beggining of the 4th quarter. Jackson said that PJ wanted to close out the series by having Kobe in.... Then JVG said that the Lakers should sit Kobe cuz it will look better winning without Kobe in the 4th....then silence for for a good 10 seconds. lol
A desperate attempt for wanting his team to get back in the game. LOL |
