Lakers

I Love The Lakers Our Project was to find Blogs of Interest then write about. I sat for a while and thought, HMMM, what do i love. Well i love My God, My Family, My fiance, and the Lakers. It is kinda sad how intense i get when the NBA season rolls around. Last season when the Lakers made it back to the NBA finals in a classic rivalry against the Boston Celtics i was almost in tears of Joy in Jubilation's. But then those happy tears quickly turned into sad one's, and so much anger when they lost. I couldn't watch T.V. for about a week, or read the news paper because i didn't want to see any news on how the Lakers had failed. It was nice to find other bloggers who share my same passion. One blog i found was interesting and made some very key points about the Lakers past and present. Where they have been and how many never saw them going back to the finals after the Shaq and Kobe spilt. I agree when the author said how it is hard to compare the old school lakers will Magic, Kareem, and all of the other superstars from the decade when they were ridiculous but i think this new era with Kobe can do big things as well. Especially considering that they have a great coach in Phil Jackson.
Another Blog i read about the Lakers was about how Bynom is an intrical part in the Lakers future and that is why he just recieved a new million dollar, 5 year contract. I would have to say i might disagree with him a lilttle. Bynum is young, yes and has very much potential but the writter of the Blog said the Lakers organization will be built around him in the years to come when Kobe is gone. Don't get me wrong i feel that he is a great player but someone who is going to have a professional organization built around him should have all of the qualities. A leader who everyone respects, have great court awareness, and i think he does but it is hard to be a great leader on the court when you are a post player, and last i think you need to have some age on you, well except if you are Lebron!
Lebron is the topic of the next blog, and it was actually a thing Kobe vs. Lebron. The thing i like about Lebron is he understands his role. Yes he is going to be the best when Kobe is done but right now he can't finish games and does not have all the experience yet, although his appearance makes him a little older. But i completely agree with the author who said that Kobe is the best right now. He has the total package especially from winning the Gold with the USA team in China because he became a better defensive player and rebounder which will only help the Lakers even more this year. I love the lakers and will argue with anyone who thinks otherwise because i will bled purple and Gold till I die!
