Laker Nation Celebrate!

Kobe Celebrates!

I’ve gotten some flack for not writing about the Lakers amazing run to the 2009 championship. But really what is there to say, I knew they would do it all year! (honestly there were moments I had my doubts. Just ask BSlim.)

The Lakers were tested in the second and third round against Houston and Denver. Laker fans must give those two teams credit for kicking the Lakers into high gear and preparing them for the finals matchup against the Magic. Many of us were surprised that the Lakers weren’t facing the Cavs or Celtics in the final round but the Magic had a terrific run in the eastern round but couldn’t hang against the depth of the Lakers.

There are a lot of questions to be answered for next year. Can the Lakers repeat? Is Phil Jackson going to come back for the final year of his coaching contract? Can the Lakers resign Lamar Odom and Trevor Ariza? Should the Lakers consider upgrading the point guard position?

So many questions to be answered but nobody needs to worry about that for a couple of weeks. Let the Lakers Nation enjoy what is and will always be the greatest team in the NBA!
