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.............
