As Kobe said, right now, being in the finals feels like a dream come true.
I mean, who predicted that we would actually be in the NBA Finals!? Most people believed the Lakers wouldn't even make the playoffs, and others said wewould easily be eliminated in the first round, if we even got there. Heck, we weren't even sure if the best player in the league was even going to play forour own team. This past year, we had a turmoil summer, a good start to the season, along with a trade for ariza, a disastrous injury to our star center, AndrewBynum, and then on Feb. 1, the blockbuster trade for Pau Gasol. From that point on, everything went uphill for us. Also, the young players on the teamdeveloped (Sasha, Jordan, Bynum) and had great seasons, we got Derek back instead of Smush, and Kobe become more of a leader and a better teammate, and thuswinning MVP.
And now, we are four wins away from the NBA championship.
LET'S GO LAKERS!
