Let us all smile like we won American Idol 2008, because the San Antonio Spurs will not be playing basketball in June.
No flopping. No whining. No Vaginobli.
The NBA now has 1/2 of it's dream Finals. The Boston Celtics, intent on playing all 7 games of every 7 game series are all that remains until David Stern has his best coup d'etat since freezing the envelope for the 1985 Draft Lottery.
You have to wonder if Stern had anything to do with February's Pau Gasol heist. Seriously, I couldn't have come up with a more lopsided trade on NBA Live 2008. The computer would have vetoed it every time. Unfortunately the Memphis Grizzlies aren't that smart. They actually have less sense than MJ the GM for taking Kwame Brown in the first place, or the Lakers for deciding to give up Caron Butler for Kwame. The only person willing to acquire Kwame now would undoubtedly be Mariners GM Bill Bavasi. Kwame would be a great DH.
Regardless, the Lake Show is for real. Not only are they the best team in the world, but they also have the best player in the world and the best coach.
If Roger Clemens ever pulls his head out his attorney's ass, he should look at Kobe for inspiration on image rehab. Kobe raped a girl, threw Shaq under an 18-wheeler, talked shit about his GM and Andrew Bynum to two high school kids in a parking lot, then demanded a trade, rescinded the demand, rescinded the rescind, and continued this pattern up until this season began.
But everybody is loving Kobe now. Rape? Kobe? Never. Didn't happen. He did jump over a car though.
What's great about this Laker team is that everybody knows exactly what their role is and they fit perfectly into those roles. Kobe's been a star since he air balled those shots in Utah back in the 97. Pau Gasol was a sub par number one option in Memphis. In L.A., he's about as good as a number two option can be. Same goes for Lamar Odom - a terrible number two. Nasty as a third option.
The Lakers play as a team. They play the right way. They are scary good. And the best part is they're young. Kobe's in his 28th season, but won't turn 30 until August.
Write it down - this Lakers team has three titles in it.

say what you will about Kobe being a rapist, demanding a trade, and jumping over cars... bottom line is the guy is sick, and the LA fans can forget the rest because of it. Can't wait to see the Lakeshow square off against the Celtics!
Kobe has definitely gone a total rejuventation and is the toast of the NBA right now. Good stuff BMoney!
