Congratulations to the L.A. Lakers for taking home the trophy!

They deserved it considering all the hard work they've put in the past few years. The team came up short last year, but this year they proved how much they really wanted to win the championship.

I lost a little respect for Kobe after all the drama that happened with the alleged rape, but regardless, I have to give him props for overcoming that obstacle and staying focused on his work.

There's no doubt that Kobe is one of the greatest players of all time. He's grown and matured a great deal and I love to watch him in action - whethere he's on the floor throwing down jumpers or when he's on the sidelines coaching him teammates.

Because after all is said and done, basketball is a team sport. The Lakers played as a cohesive team and that's why they are the champions. Everyone on their team played their role and they played the game with passion and intensity.

You can't ask for anything more!

Special kudos to Phil Jackson for winning his 10th championship. We don't call him "The Wizard" for nothin'!

I'll leave you with a video clip of the Lakers parade that took place today...



~Peace, Love, and Hoops!
