Last night's ring ceremony and unveiling of the banner for the 2010 NBA Chapions gave me chills. It was nice being able to watch the team receive their rings for their 16th championship title. The ceremony also reminded me of last years' basketball season and how i wasn't too fond of Artest to how i grew to like that guy. I was also reminded of all the Laker BBQs i went to and all the fun i had last season. Watching the unveiling of the banner was real cool too. Last nights events and the win they took is setting up the Lakers season to be just right.
If you missed the ring ceremony and the unveiling of the banner, here it is:
"To start the season, you wanna start on a positive note."
Good way to put it Blake. To see the rest of what Steve Blake had to say after the game click here.
The first game against the Houston Rockets was a fckin' nail-biter, to say the least! For the most part the Rockets were in the lead, as much as 15 points during the game. Pau Gasol held the most points in last night's game with 29 points. Brown flooded the court with threes in the 4th quarter and Blake is making me eat my words saying he's "aiiight" haha Blake shot the last three oh-so-cleeeannn! Giving the Lakers a two point lead that gave us our Win for last night's game. Lakers starting it off right, 1-0! Thank you God for basketball season! :)
It's only fitting for Artest to drop his single "Champions" today. He's been talking about this for a while now, and now we get to hear the final cut of it. I wasn't a fan of him in the beginning, but after being a big factor in game 7 and seeing how happy and sincere he was after winning, I gave in. Download the song right now while you watch the parade ;) LAKERS!!!
Bonus: Here's footage of Artest performing the song at Power House 2010 (which I'll blog about sooner or later).
UPDATE: Artest came out with an official video to his single. I have no comment about the video. lol. Watch it for yourself.
Where do I begin!?! ohh yeah, LAKERS BAYYBEE!!! ;D Game 7 was definitely a difficult game to watch. The first half was complete sh*t! Where were the Lakers that were playing in game six. No defense, sloppy plays, and bad shots by Bryant. Simple free throws weren't being made, which pissed off me and everyone at the house that was watching. I was also disappointed in how my sister's beast, Gasol, was playing in the first half... like where the eff are you!?! The Celtics were up for the most of the first half. Halftime came along and i seriously set some time off to pray just a little bit. Asked God to help the Lakers actually sink the shots lol The second half started... i was still scared to watch. The major players, Gasol, Bryant, and Fisher were back in the game, playing like they meant it. I don't know where their minds were at during the first half, but as long as it came back, I was happy about it! It was a slow come up, BUT we did it. The Lakers FINALLY lead the Celtics with a big enough lead to make the hearts of L.A. calm down just a lil bit. When Ray Allen was at the line sometime during the 2nd half i was SHOCKED to see him miss his first free throw. From that missed shot, I think the rest of L.A. knew this title was gonna be ours. My favorite player of the night was DEFINITELY, Mr. QUEENSBRIDGE himself, Ron Artest! He stepped up major! With 5 steals and that magical 3 pointer when Kobe passed him the ball, showed me "hey, maybe i should actually like this guy" cuz truth be told, i hated Artest from the start. But after watching last night's game, seeing how HE was the one on the team that stepped up, and watching his after game interview, i'm growing to like this cat lol btw, his single is coming out soon! LMFAO! With all that said, i'd lie to say big ups to the Celtics for keeping up with the Lakers. This series was a great one to witness. Celtics put up a great fight, but in the end the true champs shined through!
Lakers straight SMASHED the Celts last night. Why didn't they do what they did in this game in game 5 and 4!?!? As of now, who the fu*k cares as long as they play the way they did last night in game 7! They picked up their defense, which they didn't have in game 5 and cleaned up their game remarkably compared to game 5. The Celtics had won the past game due to simple layups, but unfortunately for them they seemed to not be making any last night :) Last night's game was fun to watch... like seeing UGLY ASS Perkins get hurt. Call me mean, but yeah, i was glad to see him walk off into the locker room and not come back. As for Rondo, i DID feel bad when he landed straight into Artest's elbow =X poor kid. With all the Celtics' drama aside... the LAKERS will repeat. One more game with home court advantage, we WILL win!
