oh, you mean the former GM of the Lakers who went to Memphis and turned around and made that trade to the Lakers? Yeah, sounds legit to me.

If you mean Jerry West, he retired in the summer of 2007, and the trade was made in early 2008.

Jerry West was smart enough to grab Kobe in the draft after about 10 teams had passed on him when he came out of high school.

Thank you, I wanted to say something but as I am a Lakers fan I didn't want to sound like a total homer.

LeBron = MVP two years in a row.

Kobe = Finals MVP two years in a row,

I like the way this is working out, wonder if LeBron wins the MVP again next year :)

10 teams passed on him because he told those 10 teams if they picked him he would go play in Europe. Fuck him, but fuck the cocksucker collection they have going on in Boston even harder.....including their cocksucker coach.

It's a sad day when I check ESPN to see who won the NBA Title and I'm happy when I see that it was the LA fucking Lakers.

Ron Artest thanked his psychiatrist in the post-game interview.

Baller.

His legit insanity makes it harder to hate him like I used to do. For a long time, I just thought it was an act.

Great result to the title. When can we start talking about this Celtics' team in the same sentence as the Pistons of the 90s? One title. Collection of good players. Terrific team concept. Two differences, of course. The media continues to pretend that Garnett, Pierce and Allen are all-timers while no one on the Pistons ever received that kind of recognition. And.... And... Boston is full of shittalking assholes.

Bingo. Only a team like Boston with guys like Pierce, Garnett, Nate Robinson, Rondo, their crybaby fans, etc. could make me happy that the Lakers and Kobe won the title.

Quite possibly the ugliest first three quarters of an NBA Finals game. I will say that it heightened the suspense for me quite a bit. Irritated the hell outta me that there were so many points left at the charity stripe. Great team defense and passion by the Lakers. Sweet Sixteen!!!

It's as if you read my mind and typed exactly what I was thinking.
