I urinate on the idea that the Lakers are a team and that this championship has any legitimacy.
Yes, I'm a bitter man.

It will hurt for awhile, but hey, the Sox are only a game back after a horrid injury-ridden start.
Believe it or not, I understand. 2008 left a real bad taste in my mouth. However, the Celtics were, without question, the best team. The presence of Bynum would not have made any difference because the Lakers were just not good enough. This year they were.

I'm a Sacramento fan so I will NEVER EVER EVER give the Lakers credit for anything. However, the game was Boston's to lose and they did that handily. Not only did Kobe shoot below 30%, LA collectively bricked a RIDICULOUS number of freethrows. That crippled the Kings in 2002 and I was convinced it would kill LA, but the Celtics couldn't mount ANY offense and settled for perimeter shots rather than trying to drive hard to the cup. On the other hand, LA driving for the bucket in the 4th is how they drew all those fouls. Some were questionable and Pau did commit the up & down, but the Celtics weren't going to win that game anyways, they just didn't have it.
Whether you give them credit or not, the Lakers are 2009 and 2010 NBA Champions!

Ah! Lakers v Kings...now that was a feud! I still remember the pre-season brawl where Fox chased Christie (or was it Bibby?) then got schooled
Good times. Does Sacramento still have a team?
In my book the championship has an asterisk*
* - assist from the league.
You can sit and fester with your asterick, while I sit a relax with my victory beer.

That was Christie that punched him in the face.
despite my general support of the notion that kobe is a dramatic flopper, that one right there seems like bell hooked him on the chin and is actually being pulled down legitimately.
