I mean, who didn't expect the Lakers to win after the Gasol collusion and the Fisher fiasco?
Everyone knew they were the league's most stacked team. Weren't they the favorites as they steamrolled to the 2008 Finals before they got roflstomped by the Celtics?
We all knew it was coming. Kobe has his ring thanks to a stacked team.
I didn't see anything special out of him. In fact, he shot 43% FG%, jacked up tons of shots, got blocked by Hedo on a game winning attempt, got stripped by Pietrus in another, got saved by Derek Fisher, etc.
I wasn't surprised at all. The Lakers are stacked.
This was gonna happen. I knew it back in 2008 after the trades.
Did you?
