This is a truly eventful day for basketball

Finally the bad, arrogant, selfish brand of basketball has died in a way that honors its demeanor

We can at last hear no more bitching to officials, no more calling for stupid advantages

The big one-eyed cyclops has been struck down and we can still hear the noise of its amorphous shape hitting the ground

A fitting end for their coach - a person who has won more rings than any other coach in the history of basketball but who has been always surrounded by great players. In his final years in the game, he grew accustomed to others bending to his will and to complain at anything that didn't conform to what he thought to be right. He became a man who would complain relentlessly to officials inside and out the court whenever something wasn't going his way

Last but not least, its demise comes spearheaded by the continued and stubborn unwillingness its franchise player has shown in leading its team across real adversity. If something is clear now, that player is not a real team player and have opted at times to fault his teammates when trying times were upon them. Always the sidekick of a better player, he swam the waves of glory multiple times disguised as a formidable player and took credit that wasn't his. In years to come, he will be remembered as a great scorer, probably the greatest, and a hall of famer... but most of all, as a hollywood icon who thought about himself too much rather than being one of the greatest. Some could say he had it all to become the greatest.. and I would agree

Finally, I'd like to say, we won't remember too much about their basketball - it was a bad nightmare that has come to its rightful end.

PS. to laker fans - bitch all you want. it does not matter anymore

great post

first Osama Bin Laden and now the crooked ass NBA couldn't control the destiny of their longtime, favorite team ... the only thing that could have made today better would have been a career ending injury to Kobe.

Son God bless these Unites States of America. The Lakers at the end definitely channeled their inner terrorist, sacrifising themselves to try and take out their betters. But good always prevails

Who are the tired old shit bags now?

[picc84]

Enjoy yourselves. Its all well earned.

Don't feel as bad as I thought I would. 2 titles and 3 finals in 3 years gives you a bit of house money to play with. But its still bad. Oh, its bad. And all of you will squeeze every ounce out of it. And I wouldn't expect or ask any different.

It'll be a fun summer. If you fuckers are anything you're a creative bunch.
