Ron thanking his psychiatrist!!

[sribb43]

Ron Ron is fucking crazy :lmao

[DPG21920]

I cannot believe Artest is a winner. Thanking his hood and psychiatrist.

[phxspurfan]

Artest is mad cool tho. props

[VBM]

Won't lie...I'm happy for Ron too...he won me a fantasy basketball championship years ago

[Kamala]

Mental health shout out by Ron and pimping his new cd in the same breath- Nice

[TampaDude]

Gotta love 'Test... :lol

[baseline bum]

Congrats to Artest. He deserves this title big-time. Monster series keeping Pierce in check, despite what ignorant Laker fan thinks.

[jag]

:lmao that motherfucker belongs in an institution.

[TwAnKiEs]

I'm happy for Ron Artest. Fuck the rest of the Lakers Organization.

co-signed

[angelbelow]

good, finley doesnt get another ring.

[Bob Lanier]

Artest deserves the MVP.

[TampaDude]

Gasol better fucking get the Finals MVP! If they give it to Kobe, that will be a fucking travesty.

[Koolaid_Man]

ALL YOU HO"S CAN SUCK A FAT DICK AND DIE.....all you fucking bitches suck on our balls for eternity...well at least till we 3 peat

[TampaDude]

Artest deserves the MVP.

Anyone but the rapist...please...

[Tp9gospursgo]

Great game by Ron. He stepped up and hit that clutch 3. Props to the lakers. They played great in the 4th. No excuses.

[jag]

Mental health shout out by Ron and pimping his new cd in the same breath- Nice

He was hyping his new single.

[HankChinaski]

Artest playing likes its game 7 and carrying that lakers team and then hitting that clutch 3 at the end.

I wouldn't have guessed it.

[duncan228]

Party's getting started.

Police report 2 arrests outside Staples Center (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-lakers-policing)

Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck says “so far so good” outside Staples Center in the final moments of Game 7 of the NBA finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics.

Police spokesman John Romero says there have been two arrests—both misdemeanors for drinking in public.

Police officers stood watch as a crowd began to grow on a street corner near the arena.

Several nearby roads and freeway off-ramps have been closed.

Police massed around the arena before the game, aiming to prevent a repeat of the violence that accompanied the Lakers’ victory last year.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Congrats Lakers! Way to go Kobe!!!

I'm glad we had a good competitive series. Nothing like a game 7.

Boston was tougher and scrappier than I imagined they would be. Played great D the entire series. KG in particular played really well. Rondo and Pierce had their moments, too bad Ray choked the series away.

I love seeing Kobe get #5. I hope all his haters choke on it.

I don't really know how I feel about seeing Ron Artest as an NBA Champion :bang

The only negative for me in the game is having to witness the ignorant ass Laker posters (they're not all stinky piles of poo, but most of them are) get to celebrate.

[Tp9gospursgo]

I have to say those hats are gangsta.

[Chieflion]

Why is Bill Russell even smiling?

[timtonymanu]

Putting my Laker hate aside, the Lakers deserve this. I started to doubt them at the end of the season but they really stepped it up in the playoffs.

Oh well at least Finley doesnt get another free ring. And KG wont be doing his growling act next season. And Pierce wont proclaim he's the best player in the world.

[hitmanyr2k]

:lol @ Stern calling this shit a classic. This was the worst Game 7 in the history of the NBA.

[jag]

LA is gonna burn tonight. Rodney King style

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Ugliest-ass baseball caps i've seen in a long time lol

[hitmanyr2k]

OK Magic, stop hoggin the fuckin spotlight and let someone talk :lol

[baseline bum]

Shit, Kobe's there in position to receive the MVP. What a joke. Not as much of a joke as Buss saying LA has the best crowd in the league though. :lol

[BRHornet45]

LMAO free throws ...

Lakers - 37
Celtics - 17

[ffadicted]

lol "why are you so successful?"

Maybe because FAs will take massive paycuts and better opportunities elsewhere to come play there, let's not bullshit here

[jag]

Shit, Kobe's there in position to receive the MVP. What a joke. Not as much of a joke as Buss saying LA has the best crowd in the league though. :lol

Kobe's standing there acting all awkward and shit.

[JamStone]

Lol Bill Russell on stage with the Lakers

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Best crowd in the league this year=OKC, bar none (in my mind)

[Pistons < Spurs]

Kobe baby!!

[jdev82]

LMAO free throws ...

Lakers - 37
Celtics - 17

in a 4 pt game

[baseline bum]

What a fucking joke. Kobe Starks doesn't deserve that shit.

[Chieflion]

Bullshit!

[Kamala]

Phil Jackson is a damn good coach. This team was an absolute train wreck before he got there. Props on 11

[TampaDude]

Great game by Ron. He stepped up and hit that clutch 3. Props to the lakers. They played great in the 4th. No excuses.

Yup...when it came down to crunch time, the Celtics folded and the Lakers did not.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

:lol @ Stern calling this shit a classic. This was the worst Game 7 in the history of the NBA.

The lamest game 7 I've ever heard of. No action or excitement in the entire second half. Everyone knew what was going to happen once the whistles started blowing.

[The Franchise]

Kobe doesn't desreve the MVP.

[jag]

Did i hear booing when they gave him the trophy?

[baseline bum]

Artest got fucking robbed. Katelyn didn't get screwed that badly by him.

[BRHornet45]

ROTFLMAO!!!! sons seriously ...

[florige]

What a fucking joke. Kobe Starks doesn't deserve that shit.




Why are you surprised??

[carina_gino20]

I just died a little. :lol

[Capt Bringdown]

What a shame, I was pretty sure the Lakers would prevail coming in to this game, but the Celtics gave me some hope the way they played in the 1st half.

Perhaps the biggest difference in this series was home court in game 7, as the Lakers were delivered 20 more FT attempts.

Ray Allen should hang up his sneakers, one could make a case that he lost the series for the Celts.

As Spurs fans, we this phenomenon all too well. 30+ players are hard to count on by and large...

[TampaDude]

Lakers +20 from the stripe in a 4-point game...rig much??? :lol

[jdev82]

lol shooting under 40 percent in a finals and getting MVP. ron ron shut down pierce and doesnt get no props. kome shot 6/24 in a game 7.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I hope Kobe gets AIDS

[florige]

Phil Jackson is a damn good coach. This team was an absolute train wreck before he got there. Props on 11


No they were a trainwreck until that illegal trade. They sucked up to that point.

[sribb43]

Give the MVP trophy to a choker :lol

Stern should have given it to the biggest choker and the Lakers best player, Ray Allen

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Not the first time they've given the MVP to the wrong guy............

[kromediablo]

them refs cooked this game up towards the end....the calls are just wack!!!

[jag]

Ray Allen is going to have an interesting offseason

[VBM]

Cashin' in on vbookie tonight...chea!

[TampaDude]

:lol @ Stern calling this shit a classic. This was the worst Game 7 in the history of the NBA.

+1 That was some world-class ugliness at the Staples Center tonight... :bang

[kromediablo]

ron artest will be traded next year!

[sribb43]

Ray Allen is going to have an interesting offseason

he should have just stopped playing after game 2....he lost millions with his brick laying after that

[hitmanyr2k]

Ray Allen is going to have an interesting offseason

I felt a little bad for Ray. Dude was ice cold but the Celtics kept giving him the damn ball. KG had fuckin Derek Fisher on him on a switch and he still played hot potato and gave it back to Ray. Paul Pierce. Where the fuck was he? So many veterans on this team and NO ONE wanted the ball. Ray is gonna get the hate but he really got no help in the end.

[TampaDude]

Tonight, the Celtics outshot the Lakers from the field and from 3. They even hit 88.2% of their FTs to 67.6% for the Lakers. The extra 20 FTs for the Lakers were the difference. Congrats to the refs! :lol

[hitmanyr2k]

Mark Jackson still suckin Kobe's dick. Does he ever come up for air?

[ffadicted]

LMFAO Mark Jackson thinking Kobe > Magic

[duncan228]

Did i hear booing when they gave him the trophy?

I think they were booing Russell.

[carina_gino20]

Celtics' only fault was having Finley on the team.

[ffadicted]

I think they were booing Russell.

Classy California, no surprises here

As much as I hate to admit it, Artest pretty much shut him down all but game 5. Other than that he pretty much bottled him up.

[alchemist]

This isn't good for Tim's legacy unfortunately.

[Capt Bringdown]

Mark Jackson still suckin Kobe's dick. Does he ever come up for air?

LOL, good one.

He wants to be Kobe's Ahmad Rashad, but he still got quite a way to go - with MJ, Ahmad set the standard for hearty cock-gobbling and fierce rimming.

[Banzai]

I'll admit..I wish Pau had received the MVP.

To us of course but historically this fifth ring from Kobe pushes Tim to the curb. Somehow someway the Spurs need to get Tim that fifth ring :ihit

[Pistons < Spurs]

johnhollinger

Bombshell from Doc: "I don't know if Rasheed will ever play again."

[Jacob1983]

33% for the Lakers from the field? Is that the worst shooting percentage of a team to shoot in a Finals series clinching game? The Spurs had some ugly games in their Finals but they were never that shitty from the field. I know that a win is a win but I wouldn't be proud of my team shooting 33% from the field. Lakers are very lucky that they had help from the refs tonight. A sad thing about the FT totals is that the Celtics almost made 90 percent of their FTs while the Lakers only shot 68 percent.

What was up with Fisher having his hand on Stern's shoulder? Something going on between those two?

[Capt Bringdown]

This isn't good for Tim's legacy unfortunately.

Well, I continue to be flabbergasted that the Spurs managed to win 4 titles against all the breaks that were provided to the Lakers over the years.

Truly an amazing accomplishment over the NBA powers that be.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

No doubt about it. We could have five-peated if the NBA gave us calls like this.

[Capt Bringdown]

No doubt about it. We could have five-peated if the NBA gave us calls like this.

Not the league's best moment, considering Stern's "joke" about his dream final being the Lakers vs the Lakers.

Tonight is another example of why I think Kobe will retire with more rings than Jordan -simply because the league really, really really wants that to happen. They got a narrative they're trying to sell.

[Jacob1983]

Fuck the rapist. That piece of shit will never be Jordan. Jordan was 6 for 6 in the Finals. 6 Finals MVPs and 5 NBA MVPs. Kobe is 5 for 7 in the Finals and only has 2 Finals MVPs and 1 NBA MVP.

Kobe was Shaq's bitch. Jordan was never anyone's bitch.

[Killakobe81]

LOL I cant wait to get in on the hate ...still celebrating #16!

suck it bitches!!!!

Kobe5>Duncan4>Shaq4>Pierce1>Wade1>Lebron0>Dirk0 LMAO

[Jacob1983]

I hate the Spurs and wish them nothing but bad luck but I can admit that they would have won between 8 to 10 titles if they had gotten the calls that the Lakers get.

[SomeCallMeTim]

Well, I continue to be flabbergasted that the Spurs managed to win 4 titles against all the breaks that were provided to the Lakers over the years.

:lol

Considering the Spurs were "provided"* the entire careers of two inner-circle HOFers in the span of 8 years, do you really want to point out the luck of the Lakers?

*Provided in the sense of the root of the word, which is the same as the root of "providential," as in divinely granted.

[SomeCallMeTim]

I hate the Spurs and wish them nothing but bad luck but I can admit that they would have won between 8 to 10 titles if they had gotten the calls that the Lakers get.

Really? Pray tell which seasons those would be? The injured Duncan year in '00? The utterly destroyed by LA year in '01? How about the 4-1 series losses in '02, '08, and '09? This year's sweep?

Near as I can tell, the first one they'd "deserve" with more fortunate calls would be the '06 season. So you really want to invalidate the absolute high water mark of Mavs franchise history? You do realize that's what your whiny line of reasoning leads to, don't you?

[Jacob1983]

If I recall, I stated the that the Spurs would have won between 8 to 10 titles if they had gotten the calls that the Lakers got. In order for that to happen, the Spurs would have to get help from the refs like the Lakers have in the past. Why can't Laker fans just admit that Stern and his zebras help their team?

Did I stutter?

I asked you which of those extra seasons they'd have won titles. You are reckoning an extra 4-6 titles. So, which seasons?

First on the list would obviously be 2006. Sorry Mavs, your modest franchise high-water mark just dipped even lower.

[DJ Mbenga]

spurs never repeated but tim duncans legacy is fine. look at larry bird.

[Capt Bringdown]

Who said anything about luck regarding the Lakers? Winning the lottery is luck, collusion is not.

[Killakobe81]

Collusion, conspiracy and ref bitching ...

Yall ni$$as have no heart or it must pump that project kool-aid ...

Lakers win again deal with it ...

[freedom&justice]

:toast Congrats LA. I must say I'm quite happy for them, seeing as my favorite team's out in the dumps atm. Didn't really care much for the Celtics, even though they had Sheed.

[Killakobe81]

So where are the Laker fans talking all that trash earlier?

Problems with erectile dysfunction such as premature ejaculation? LOL

What a glorious nite. There was nothing like waking in the middle of nights and it would hit ya. Just rolled over and went back to sleep with those visions dancing in my gourd.

That loose ball up the left side late that went our way. That's the kinda shit that would never happen to Boston. It would always bounce their way. Not that nite.

That girl turning loose a scream as it got down to it.

Vuj, canning those two, then coming to the sideline and dedicating them to Kobe.

Artest, confessing his sins, in front of his wife and children. None of that BS "If I offended anybody, I'm sorry." OR "I just have to look forward instead of back." No. He took full responsibility for his cowardice. He didn't clear it with a mouthpiece. It came from his soul.

Ron Artest

The Deuce

[Thebesteva]

I wish I was here to see this thread...sadly I was on LG and Lakersnation

[Thebesteva]

Anyways, here was my initial prediction before the series started for game 7, and it still sticks.

Classic, spirited game between both teams, constantly going back and forth, although the Lakers will have a slight lead for most of the game. Pierce and Kobe will put on one of the best shows we have ever seen, but in the end, the Celitcs will make a couple more defensive stops, and Pierce will out-clutch Kobe and the Celtics will pull the victory out in the final 5-6 minutes of the game.

That's exactly what happens too

[Arnold Toht]

Never forget :toast

[Ashy Larry]

Nerve racking game. Had me musty squatting in front of the tv and doing push ups.
