The 2009 champions The LA Lakers

They did it, I'm so proud of the team, i just knew this was they year. nobody really had faith in my team but i did, I'm really convince that the lakers could have won last year in the finals if the lakers would have had the same starting line up. I hate it when people say that Kobe Bryant only got the three rings because of "Shaq" which is partially true.i honestly seen this victory coming when the Orlando magics beat the clevlead cavilers, in my opinion that was the only team that could have stood again the team, but the cavs didn't have an aginst the lakers second unit, which is very good. i believe that they would have consistently outscore and outplay the opposing bench. I personally knew that Kobe Bryant didn't need shaq to win his forth ring. i know what he did need, leader ship, and determination. Do to those, he got what he was striving for. his forth ring and MVP for the finals. At the start of the game the lakers were trailing up in till the second half, the next the we knew the lakers kept scoring and eventually had the lead. Soon after the third, then i soon knew that is was over the magics had no chance of coming back from 15 points. finally Kobe got what he rightfully deserve is forth ring, hopefully the lakers can take it all the way again next season and win the lakers their 16 championship

trevor ariza

every body pay attention the main three people Kobe , pau, and Derek fisher. what about Trevor Ariza? they are a major part of the team. through out the in tire lakers season, the lakers second unit had a major contribution. They consistently outscore and outplay the opposing bench. many people might think that Lamar Odom took control and out the second unit, yet, I'd have to admit, Odom may be the denominator of the second unit, but Trevor Ariza is the group’s star. When I see Ariza, I see a younger Kobe Bryant in many ways. That is something special in my opinion. Ariza has found his place in Los Angeles’ system. Without him the lakers wouldn't be dominating like they are doing now. Trevor Ariza as been averaging nine points per game, 4.8 rebounds, two assists, and 1.7 steals. That is amazing over a 24 min stretch. Trevor is a very young player, and like has a lot to learn and developing to done. perhaps he can soon one day can the be the next Kobe Bryant and take control of the lakers

where would the lakers be with out there twin towers?

By now we all should know that i love the lakers, and that they are my favorite team. Could the lakers have made it all of this way with out there big men? i honestly don't think so. the truth of the matter is Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum has made the lakers as an whole a lot better. Others might believe me , while there are those people of would' t, its a fact thought. About 4 years ago Kobe Bryant wouldnt have made it this far, even thought he could get the ball and go for like a 50 point game, he didn't get as far by him self. in my opinion Gosal was the missing piece to the lakers puzzle. the season Pau Gosal came to the lakers , they went all the way to the finals. is it me or did pau gosol completed the packaged. i honestly think that the lakers could have beaten the celtics last year in the finals, but they didn't have the other tower, Andrew Bynum he couldn't play do to an injury.In my opinion that is why the laker lost last year, hopefully the lakers can win this year.

could the lakers take it all the way?

Its amazing how the lakers was able to beat the magics by 25 points the first game of the finals. the second game was much more of a struggle if i may say so. the magics seem to be able to pick up what the lakers are doing defensively. that's is the reason i think they are doing much better now compared to the first game. but do you honestly think the Lakers can win? i sure do, well i hope they can. they won the last three games, and they lost one game to them. the lakers are having difficulty with the magics shooter, Lewis, Turkoglu, and Pietrus. i think that they are doing a good job guarding Dwight Howard. He is not getting that many open looks like he was against Cleveland. the lakers have much more younger players that can keep up with Dwight and is able to contest him at the same time too. these are not the only reasons that i think the lakers are going to win. Kobe bryant. who can stop that man? they are doing the best they could defensively to try to slow him down, win Kobe get doubled team he kicks hit out to Derek Fisher, or Ariza who is doing very good on defense, and he is good at getting into passing lanes.cant wait till the next game to see if the kobe Bryant and the lakers will take it all the way, and to see if kobe get his forth ring. hopefully he will and the lakers will win it all.

who will win game four?

tonight is the night, who will win? kobe Bryant had to be upset the last game he played the magics. how can you be up by some much, then by the second half be losing? kobe had a off night that night. is it possible that the magics can turn everything around and win the series? i honestly don't think so. Orlando has a incredible team which i can say, look how far they got. i just don't think that they are to win a championship yet , its not there year.the next game comes on Thursday, taking place in Orlando. is it that the magics had the home court advantage is the reason they had the victory? hopefully the lakers will be able to come through and will play like they did the first two games where they didn't lose. the third game man, i just don't know what happened to them, they collapsed as a team.Kobe wasn't hitting any free throws, i mean it was horrible seeing my favorite team plying like that.i just don't see them in lose again in the finals like they did last year, how could you come come so far and lose at the very end, you don't have to be playing to see how they feel.maybe the lakers will play much better in game 4 on Thursday, in till then we will see.

is there comparison between jordan and lebron?

If you were to ask people, about 15 years ago what the number 23 meant, I bet they would say Micheal Jordan. If you were to ask people to day, they would say of course "King James". Honestly can you compare the two? I mean how could people believe that one is better than the other, if each of them never had the chance to face each other. Other people might even believe that Lebron is the best since Micheal Jordan. i really don't see the comparison between these two, if you were to ask me. they are completely different in many ways. i think people compare them because they have the same jersey number, and they both can jump really high. could he be the next Jordan? i know people went crazy when leborn James hit that buzzer beater in game 2 of the semi finals when they were facing the magics. i was amazed, i can't even lie i jump up for excitement when lebron hit that jump shot. its was unpredictable something that i would never seen coming, i was expecting lebron James to go for the lob, in stead of the three pointer. ON the other note, Micheal Jordan was know for making the game winning shot at the last minute cause his team to win. i wonder if there is anything that could make me change my mind about these two, i just don't see how you can compare men that played during to different time periods, and things have changed since mike was playing.

Race to victory

both the Lakers and the Magics are both every extraordinary teams that fought hard, long series to get where they are at. the teams had faced each other in the regular season, and the lakers didn't seem to do to well losing both games to them. In the first game of the finals,the lakers seem to be able to have out played the magics, keeping Dwight Howard under control with there outstanding defense. unfortunately for the magics they got blown out that game, and had to come back strong the next game. In game two, in my opinion the magics came back a lot stronger hitting more threes making wide open layups and trying to contest kobe, which obviously didn't seem to work.kobe Bryant is very hard to defend, is hard to stop him with his mid range jump shot and his ability to take it to the rack. with the score going back and forth the lakers seem to have out scored the magics in over time. i believe that this is going to be look at as one of the greatest series in time to come. in game three the shoe was on the other foot, even thought the magics were trialing through out the first half they came through and beat the lakers.my predictions for the next game is that the lakers will definitely win, along with the series becoming the 2009 champions. hopefully my predictions come true, lets see what will happen as the race to victory continues on.
