Finally!!!!!


23 long years of waiting. I was 2 yrs and 11 months old at the time what did I know then nothing, nada. But check Rajon Rondo was only 3 months old and here he is helping Boston to it's 17th win.
They deserves to celebrate, they played great basketball and they executed will. Kevin Garnett can rest better now that he have the most priceless hardware an NBA player can hope to possess and so do Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. Hey and Rajon Rondo how cool is that your first year in the NBA and you won a Champion....and not only was he on the team he helped them win. He must be ecstatic cuz I know I would. I am not a Celtics fan and that no secret but I am willing to give respect where it is due. Besides they were expected to win from the start of the season it would have been very disappointing if they did not. Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen have been Champions their whole career, now they have the hardware to prove it. Way to guys congratulations.

Now as for the Lakers they gave up without even fighting back....that's a shame. I think they fought for Game 5 cuz they did not want Boston to win in their home court and I think Boston wouldn't have it any other way. Why they lost? I don't know I thought they were playing great until somewhere along the line open shots where not going down and they did not execute down the stretch. Oh well, you win some and then you lose some. Do I think Lakers less of a ball club...no. They had a great season it's just wasn't their time that's all. Do I think less of Kobe.....hell to the no. Check this out. He is League's MVP, 10 times All-Star, 2 times All-Star MVP, 3 times All NBA First Team, 2 times All Defensive First Team, 3 times NBA Champion now how many players have accomplished this a lot and then again not a lot. Did we think less of Allen Iverson when he lossed in 2001, or did we think less of Tracy McGrady even though he fails to lead his team pass the first round, oh did we think less of Jason Kidd when his team got swept 2 years in a row at the Finals, no. Then maybe we thought less of Dirk Nowitzki when his made Miami came back from 2-0 to win the Championship, oh so you still love these guys and still they are considered to be some of the best and greatest that the League has produced. What I am getting at is that Kobe is still one of the greatest Basketball players of all times. So he lost, well best team for this season won and it's not like they weren't expected to win or that they were underdogs...they were suited for the win form the get go. But will they be back next season, now that's the million dollar question. Not many teams can be hot one year and come hot the next. Yeah Boston did 8 years in a row that was then this now, they don't have good old Red and the guys who played back then. Sure they have Keven Garnett, Paul Peirce and Ray Allen and yeah Rajon Rondo, but do they have what it takes to be back next year. That we will definitely have to wait to see. Until next season.

To Be Continued.............

Can They Win?


That's a tough question. Cuz they will be going to Boston and the fans there can be very boisterous. Yeah they can so Lakers will be needing a cool head and team work. They made a big come back in Game 5, but can they do the same in Game 6. Mmmm.....do you think they can...what was that Game 7 too. Oh no not yet we have to worry about Game 6 first....slow your roll one game at a time. It's not over until Game 6 over and we will just have to wait until then to see the outcome. Lakers are looking to make history...the first team to come from 3-1 to win. Do they have the talent, experience, confidence and endurance to win? Well as I said before we will just have to wait.....tick,tock. It is going to take a hugh effort to win, everyone will have to step up...no 2, 3 guys doing it big, everybody especially the bench. Team Work that's what it is going to take.

Kobe should no longer be compared to MJ

Stop comparing Kobe to MJ…why? Why stop now, just because he fail to produce the win in Game 4? MJ had Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippens, Luc Longley, Steve Kerr, Ron Harper and Toni Kukoc when he was winning his Championships. In Kobe’s previous titles he had Shaquille O’neal, Rick Fox, Derek Fisher, Robert Horry, Brian Shaw and Ron Harper (anything familiar about the list of names). Who does he have now who could be classed as experience and veteran only Derek Fisher. Boston on the other hand have Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Sam Cassell. I am not looking for an excuse as to why they lost Game 4 cause there is none. But the NBA has been based on history. When you watch the games the commentators compare players and talk about the history of the teams. So because L.A did not win game 4 Kobe should stop be compared to the Legendary MJ. If that’s the case then KG should not be compared to Bill Russell, Chris Paul should not be compared to Magic Johnson or Isiah Thomas, and neither should Lebron or Wade be compared to MJ. You know why they have not accomplish what Kobe has accomplished. Okay take a look at history….Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Reggie Miller, Karl Malone just to name a few. These players are Hall of Famers and will go down as some of the great players to ever play the game of basketball. Yet still they fell short every single time, they have never won a Championship but still they are the best. Young players are being compared to them and want to be like them. So why should Kobe stop being compared to MJ, I don’t see why.

Kobe did not asked to be compared to MJ, he state he wants to be the best. Every player in the NBA wants to be the best, they wants to be the go to guys. But not every players accomplish that. We are the ones who said Kobe is like Mike. We did not hear him say he wants to be like Mike. So leave the guy alone. Most players can only wish they could play as good as Kobe. Hey...no matter what we say there are kids out there who wants to be Kobe and who wants to be better than Kobe. His career is not over because he lost Game 4 in the 2008 Finals, he can win ring #4 another season. Kevin Garnett is yet to win a ring. You know what's ironic we all say Kobe had to have Shaq to win. But guess what Kevin Garnett have been trying to win and if he did not team with Pierce and Allen he would still be in Minnesota watching Kobe trying to gain his 4th ring. One player don't make a team if that was the case Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller, Patrick Ewing and Karl Malone would all have several rings. More so guys in the league today would also have rings...guys like Steve Nash, Allen Iverson, Jason Kidd, even Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. This is just my opinion from a realistic point of view.

On the other hand, I was disappointed cause I was cheering for the Lakers to win....who wouldn't be. But it's all apart of the game some have to lose in order for some to win. Hey I bet if Lakers had won and went on to win the Championship we would then be asking the same questions of the Boston Celtics. LOL , it's the way of life...funny ain't it, yeah I know we have to disagree to agree. Remember how we (yes we cause I have said it) use to say that Kobe was selfish, yeah...you remember don't you. Well he changed all that starting with his Jersey #, and he is the League's MVP. The current Kobe passes the ball and look to make his teammates better., while the previous Kobe would look for his shot everytime the ball touches his hands. The result of the new and improve Kobe is that his is less aggressive, more into passing, and he is not trying to be the player who touches the ball last on his team. That my friends I think slows him down. You know what I would love to see #8 in game 5. Kobe has accomplished so much when he was selfish. So what he did not stand a chance for the League's MVP then, a lot guys didn't and they are Hall of Famers.

Long Time Wi No Chat

It's been a long time since my last post. I was too busy I guess. Where is my manners, hey everyone. How are you? Fine....me too. So what's up, nothing out of the ordinary. I don't even know what to write about....ha-ha. Let's see oh yes let me give an update on my source of happiness, my world and my everything. Stop it! Your mind is too smotty I was talking about my son what was in your mind....nasty. Anyways, he is getting big and I can hardly manage him, he is like a source for energy. I think that if the current is off I can use him for a generator if you get the picture. Too bad I don't have such energy cause he is driving me crazy. But on the real he is keeping me on my toes at all times. One day I was inside and all of a sudden the house was quiet and I was like okay where did all the noise go. So I called Antoine and he did not answer so I went to look for him. I had locked the grill and the kitchen door to keep him from going outside. However I forgot to lock the bathroom door seeing that he hardly go in there anyways. Apparently I wrong, he wanted to go outside so bad that he found a way out by all means. I got so afraid cause I didn't know where he was. Then I heard my grandmother said "see him here". He was outside heading to the gate when I went after him he started to run 'an yu wan see him likkle foot dem'. I was mad but the way he ran I had to laugh. Sometimes he does stuff that gets me upset and I can't get angry cause he knows how to get on my good side. And to think he is only 1 year old. He is so smart sometimes I am in awe at how he reacts to things. One day I was pretending to cry he was so upset he tried to dry my eyes with his shirt and when I didn't stop he placed his hands on my cheek and looked in my eye and said "mama" and some other baby talk and was about to start crying, so I had to stop. Sometimes I wonder how did I get a son so smart for his tender age, and I love him so much. If you knew him you would too. That's it for now and by the way his Dad and I are back together...well sort of....no I am not going to tell you about it. Not now anyways that's another story for another time. Sometimes unno too fast and nosy......hahaha....later.
