The Lakers! 2009 World Champions!

The Lakers are the NBA’s 2009 World Champions! An amazing fifteen NBA titles in thirty finals appearances! I’ve been a huge fan of L.A. for over 20 years now and after such a horrible ending (40 point blowout) against Boston during last season’s amazing playoff run, I can proudly say that the haters are silenced and the Lakers are on the top of the NBA pinnacle once again.

Kobe Bryant has finally earned a fourth ring (and first Finals MVP) without being in the shadow of Shaquille O’Neal and Phil Jackson now stands alone with ten NBA finals wins, one ahead of Bostons legendary Red Auerbach.

Many skeptics think this season is one and done for L.A., but Buss has always believed in paying the big bucks for winners even if it means paying the Luxury Tax. Kobe has already expressed that he has no intentions of leaving the Lakers, and I expect Ariza, Odom, and Shannon Brown to be back in uniform next season to defend and possibly win back to back titles. The competition has always been great, but Kobe and the Lakers live for it! Long live the LAKERS!

Hawks Lakers BasketballAre you a die hard fan like I am? Do you believe in the resurrection of Showtime? I sure do. I’ve had my back against the wall most of this season defending my Laker squad even when no one else would. Many friends, family, and associates went as far as saying that my Lakers wouldn’t make this post-season. I predicted they would.

As the season went on, the emergence of Andrew Bynum was brought to the attention of everyone I knew. I told them he would take them deep into the playoffs. This prediction changed many of the non-believers statements and they resorted to saying the Lakers wouldn’t get past the first round. My prediction still stands. The Lakers will triumph in the first. Now the non-believers after witnessing the Pau Gasol trade, again made revisions to their “Predictions”. They simply say that my Lakers wont make the finals. I believe they will.

Howard, sporting one of America’s most celebrated superhero costumes became the Man of Steel for the evening and took flight by performing some of the most athletic and unique dunks in the history of the competition.

“I really wanted to win it because everybody said I couldn’t do it, and I believe in myself and I believe I could do it,” Howard said. “That’s all I was saying in my head. ‘I’m going to win the dunk contest.’”

Congrats to Howard on a well deserved win! The Slam Dunk Competition had lost some of its luster over the years, but he definitely made it the highlight of this years events.
