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

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.

Party's getting started.

Police report 2 arrests outside Staples Center

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.

Congrats Lakers! Way to go Kobe!!!

I'm glad we had a good compe ive 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

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]

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