LAKERS CELEBRATING GREATNESS!


For a moment can we congratulate the Lakers and enjoy a victory for them. No more needless banter wondering if Kobe can win one without Shaq?
Like it or not, as reporters we are SUPPOSE to give you, the readers facts and "our take" as to what happens in sports. Something that you, the fan, might not know because we have access behind the scenes.

Done, unfortunately I read more negative blogs, articles, opinions, and "facts". Being objective seems to become more one sided than ever. So let me give you the facts here from my perspective.

Kobe Bryant has been on a mission since the Celtics lifted up the Championship Trophy last season. Kobe said that loosing, drove him all year to win.
During the playoffs we saw Fisher, Odom, Gasol and Ariza all step up. We are constantly reminded by Phil Jackson that basketball is a team game, not an individual sport. We are constantly reminded how great Le Bron James is. How great Dwight Howard is.
How great Kobe is.

I agree, that Kobe is a great player because he has put in the time and he has had great players out there with him. As far as Dwight Howard and Le Bron James go, I think they will be great players someday, when they too, put it more time. And if they have great players around them. But not yet.

For now, Phil Jackson stands alone with the most wins as a head coach with ten championships, Kobe and Fisher have four and the Lakers have fifteen.


Now if the Laker fans could just enjoy this Championship and not set cars on fire during the victory parade, that would be GREAT!
