A Course in Championships from Phil Jackson
[picappgallerysingle id=”9038844″] Growing up, I always remember my grandfather would make a point of trying to make a “life lesson” out of every little situation. He would sit back in his easy chair, flip the remote to whatever featured game was on TNT that night and share his words of wisdom about life and basketball. […]
The Championship Parade In Photos
Yesterday I was able to make the trek from Bakersfield to Los Angeles for the parade. I brought my D5000 and picked up my sister along the way and set out to celebrate with the 2010 NBA World Champion Lakers. Unfortunately, unlike past years, the parade didn’t end with a rally, but we had a […]
Talkin’ Finances
I have to confess something: I’ve been on such a high since the Lakers won that epic Game 7 last Thursday that I’ve been scouring the net for any Lakers coverage I can find. To this end, I even watched the parade on the Fox11 stream online. After forcing myself to listen to statements like […]
Bynum Shows Heart of a Champion
His post-season stats won’t show it, but it was blatantly obvious in Game 7 – a game in which he primarily rode the bench – that Andrew Bynum has evolved as a player and as a man. Limited by a knee injury that has bothered him for months, the Lakers’ Big Enigma showed a sense […]
Celebrate Good Times, Come On!
A history of celebrations… 1972: “I don’t yell much, and I’m not much of a drinker,” West said. “Really, I can’t figure out much that I’ll be able to do except maybe smile a lot.” When they did win, the Lakers were subdued. They drank their victory champagne out of wine glasses, while West smiled […]
Around the World (Wide Web): Today, The Lakers Parade Down Figueroa
THE BLOGS From Robert Baptista, Silver Screen and Roll: Ahhh. Back to back. It feels so good. Especially since it was revenge on the Celtics. I think I can speak for every Lakers fan in saying we’ve wanted our vengeance on them since 2008. These Lakers have etched their names in history, and will […]
Sunday Special: In Case You Missed It
First of all, Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there – especially mine. I know for many fans, their love of the Lakers is something that has been passed down from father to son (or daughter) and with the Lakers now celebrating another championship these are special times. And I know on Father’s […]
Seven Moments that Defined Game 7
Game 7 was an historic defensive war that will be remembered for generations to come not for a single defining play, but instead for its series of grueling mini-battles that made a monumental difference in deciding the outcome of the game. While devoid of an “MJ over Russell” type of moment, it was still very […]
Lakers/Celtics Rivalry: A Win For Us Youngsters
With my 48th birthday rapidly approaching (June 29th for those of you who want to send presents), I wonder if I’m finally mellowing out with my advancing age. If I had to witness the way the Boston Celtics hammered the Los Angeles Lakers back when I actually had excess physical and mental energy to burn, […]
