Us Laker fans (I have always been a fan, no band wagon here thank you very much!) have had a few rough past couple of years. After 3 championships and after Shaq and Kobe couldn’t get along anymore, Shaq split for Miami. That’s when things started going downhill in L.A. The team looked to be at its worst last summer when Kobe publicly demanded a trade.
Thanks to the addition of Pau Gasol, Kobe had another big man that could move and really excel in the triangle offense. Odom stepped up his game as the third option and D-Fish continued having big names night after night.
We wrapped up the reguar season as the number one seed in the West. 12 post season wins later, we win the West. I hope I don’t jinx our chance of a ring but I came across this video from a past championship parade. You gotta love Mark ‘Mad Dog’ Madsen!!!
GO LAKERS!!!
Mad-dog is hilarious. My favorite part was Chick at the end.
Go Lakers! I loved seeing them beat the Spurs after the past 4 years.
Hey Allison, yeah this video cracks me up! Go LAKERS!!!
Sorry, looks like you jinxed them. Too bad for you, but I loved it. I’ve been a Laker-hater since childhood, no band-wagon for me. I remember cheering for Bird and the Celtics in those great 80’s rivalries. It was a very enjoyable finals.
