NBA Finals

NBA Finals starts earlier this morning with the celtics taking game 1 lead series 1-0.

Kobe Bryant will try to redeem himself to lead the Los Angeles Lakers for another possible championship, taking a look back from the Detroit Series in 2004 why the HECK they loss in that series? Detroit didn’t even win another championship after that!

Anyway, Finals starts earlier, sports and basketball fans will witness another classic match-up, rematch of Celtics-Lakers rivalry as their legacy continues, the most Winn ingest basketball clubs in history of the NBA. Who do you think will win the series? I’m a Laker fan; I can answer that at my sleep. L.A.K.E.R.S ! ! ! Of course, do not under estimate the Celtics, they have the best record at the regular season and they were favored to win the championship as early as the start of the season because of their so called big three in Garnett, Pierce and Allen. Maybe the lack of experience will be their weakness? Bryant and Fisher are the only members left of the 3peat in ‘00, ‘01 and ‘02 so basically they lack of experience too.

So where do we go with this?

It’s easy to focus on the Celtics, with their fabulous trio and homecourt advantage.

But Bryant is the MVP. With three rings already in his pocket from 2000-02 with Fisher, Jackson and Shaquille O’Neal on the Lakers, Bryant is on a mission to carve out his own dynasty as a leader. The Lakers are 12-3 in the playoffs, with Bryant averaging 31.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.3 steals. The presence of Fisher, the addition of Gasol and the growth of Odom have helped him grow from not taking any shots or taking all the shots, to feeling his way through games while incorporating everyone else.

At 29, he’s in his prime and with Bynum’s surgery a success, this will the first of what is likely to be several more titles as he has finally established himself as one of the NBA’s all-time greats.
