Sit Back, Relax and Welcome to the LAKERS Show!!

its been a roller coaster ride this year for the LOS ANGELES LAKERS.. before the season even started.. their best player kobe bryant demanded for a trade (maybe he's just jokin!).. they got FISH back!..then up to a good start.. andrew bynum played good and man really good! until january when he got that knee injury.. all of a sudden a spaniard name pau gasol entered LAKERLAND.. everyone got excited.. injuries came.. kobe's playing injured almost half of the season.. pau gasol missed 9 games.. another acquisition got injured in the name of Trevor Ariza.. but then still the Lakers got the no. 1 seed in the one of the Toughest Conference ever in NBA History.. Western Conference 2007-2008.. wheeww..

along came the playoffs... they swept the Nuggets.... shocked by the 2-2 tied series against Deron Williams and the Utah Jazz which eventually they won .. and here comes the defending champs along their way.. cruised them to two straight victories, got busted wide open in game 3.. had a controversial win on game 4.. and a hometown celebration for the Western Conference title at staples center!! yeah!!!..

as a laker fan it was a very nice thing to see the lakers are once again back in the NBA finals.. since 2004 the post Shaq-Kobe era has been.. lets say not so good.. missin the playoffs on 2005.. blew a 3-1 lead to phoenix at the first round of 2006.. losing again to phoenix last year in the first round.. and now all of those bad memories are set aside.. ghosts from the past has been left behind.. the only thing that came back.. is the memory of a long rivalry between two of the most celebrated franchise in NBA history.. way back in the 80's where the Showtime made up Lakers made up Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy battled a Boston's "then Big 3" of Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish for some NBA Finals moments.. For the record this will be the 11 meeting for the championship between the Lakers and the Celtics..

though the celtics have been regarded as the best team turnaround in nba history and very well expected to reach the Finals.. they have been shocked in the playoffs where they had to finish the first two series in 7 seven games.. led by their so called "BIG 3" of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce.. well the lakers has their whole team ready for you Boston!!!

well all i can say is Sit Back, Relax and Welcome to the LAKERS SHOW!!!

heres a video i found reminiscin the old and welcoming the new Lakers-Celtics rivalry

IT HAS LONG BEEN DUE...

this post has really been long been due.. and the reason behind this post.. has also long been due.. this post should be written few weeks back..

Finally NBA has awarded Kobe Bryant as the leagues MVP!

well if u follow his career lately (sorry but i followed it from the start i mean 1996-1997)... i believe that he's the MVP for the last 2-3 years.. well bitterness out now since he finally got to bag it home.. and boy he really deserved it this year.. no contest! he's the man..

2-3 years long the chant of MVP at staples center in LA has never died.. although they booed him at the start of the season because of his trade demands,etc.. i feel for you people of LA but i think he just added some spice for people to make some moves.. and well they did.. along came PAU... at the end of this year you even hear the MVP chants at their opposing homecourts wheww..

i was so happy watching the awarding ceremonies of the MVP trophy... it all payed off now.. one of the completely fulfilled players in history.. it really is his year...

next thing is the championship this year.. that will be the icing on the cake..

well just like what i tell.. Sit Back, Relax and enjoy the LAKERS show.. also just like what kobe said.. "Were gonna play til June and let this party started!!..

Congratulations Kobe Bryant.. NBA MVP 2007-2008...

if you missed out on the awarding ceremonies.. here it is... LETS GO LAKERS!!!

Los Angeles... meet spains very own Pau Gasol!

shocking but good!!! thats all i can say bout this morning when i browsed news on sports (particularly teams i like most).. well the lakers may have miss out the opportunity on acquiring KG(kevin garnett) last summer.. but now they got PG(Pau Gasol) and it really made them better.. the lakers traded Kwame Brown(at last), Javaris Critenton, 2008 & 2010 first round draft picks, Aaron Mckie(signed by Lakers for salary cap purposes later to be released again) and the draft rights to Marc Gasol (Pau's brother who was drafted by the lakers this year but is still playing in Spain).. it was a bunch of players for Gasol plus a second-round draft pick for 2010.. but i think this was a good one for the lakers since gasol's play will fit the triangle offense need for a good passing big man (remember luc longley from the Chicago Bulls Michael Jordan era hmm)..

he might still play at the center since Andrew Bynum is still injured (LA can wait dude dont push! get well soon) but thats a relief as compared to Kwame's relief appearances.. sorry but its true! so when Bynum comes back.. this will be the lakers starting line up now... Fisher(PG), KOBE!(SG), Odom(SF), Gasol(PF) and Bynum(C).. wow.. contenders now? yes they are! Gasol maybe not much of a defender but his presence , passing, offensive skills is a great difference.. averaging 18+ points this season, 8+ rebounds makes sense?

good job on mitch kupchak doing this trade.. wait for the team chemistry and player returns and well see whats next.... GO Lakers!!

Kobe's reaction on this trade says it all..

Los Angeles Lakers defines what shorts are!!

every morning i try to open sports news from nba, mlb, pba etc.. i usually check out my favorite teams standings, transactions and news.. i got a smile from a Los Angeles Lakers game news and photos.. against the boston celtics both teams used retro jerseys/uniforms in the game and not only they used old designs but the Laker players actually have their short lenghts as same sa old lakers players like jerry west, abdul-jabbar and others.. as ive seen in the photos no one had their shorts reach even the knee length.. their undershorts(mostly known as cycling shorts) are even longer than their uniform shorts ahahaha.. although my Lakers lost waaaaaaa it still was a very nice thing they did.. we will get back with you BOSTON!! maybe the shorts arent long enough to get lucky...
