What’s good?
NBA Championship, that’s what’s good! Los Angeles Lakers did their thing and took home the trophy beating Celtics 79-83. Much respect to Celtics for putting up one hell of a fight, but in the end there can be only one champion! This year it’s LA Lakers who won their first back to back championship since their last run in 2002.

It was not an easy game with both teams struggling on the offensive end. What won the game was defense. Both teams played amazing game defensively. The game was definitely not pretty, very physical match-up with players on both ends struggling on the line and on the court. Kobe Bryant had a difficult game shooting but this is when the other Lakers came in. Ron Artest had an awesome game and his crucial 3 pointer came at a right time. The other Lakers that stood out was Derek Fisher whose absence on the 3rd quarter was felt directly. Celtics had a huge lead going to the half time, but Lakers fought their way back up.
The MVP’s title rightfully went to Kobe Bryant but this last one was definitely won as a team. Phil Jackson, Derek Fisher and Kobe Bryant now have 5 Championship rings together.
It’s a good day to be a Lakers fan. Big thanks to both teams for one hell of a run. Another NBA Finals battle fought by these two teams that goes down in history books. I’m off! Be easy everyone!
