NBA Season 2 Part IV

So the Lakers win the finals and it is nice. I guess I should be happier but, I am getting older and these things mean a little less to me each passing year. I am going to be a grumpy old guy I can feel it! I almost take more joy my previous posts being grumpy critical than celebrating the team that I follow winning a championship. Although it will be nice if the Dodgers can win this year and my follow teams will have dominated the calendar year. But, I digress...LOL

I enjoyed the games but yesterday was anti-climactic. We had friends over at the house for dinner and the game was on but I didn't really watch. I just felt they were going to win and they didn't really have a big problem doing so. I know I missed some good plays (saw them later on SC) but didn't really care too much. Also, at the end of the game to see the celebration I feel wierd watching Kobe celebrate...feel like it's contrived and scripted, not genuine. But I am not sure what I expected but, it's nice that the Lakers won. Just nice. If the series was a little longer I think it would be more satisfying. The games were close for the most part and Kobe's performance was amazing. Not really sure where this is going (nowhere :-))?

Just wanted to comment I guess - - - I am happier when I finish a new book...LOL

NBA Second Season part III

So just to give a little more fuel to the fire of my issues with LeBron just reference his actions after his "team" lost to the Magic 4games to 2games. He walked off the court without shaking hands and then is quoted a couple of days later saying that he just couldn't shake the hands of those that just beat him because he is such a competitor. Hmmmmm, I guess the global icon doesn't have any sportsmanship. When things are good it's good but if not, then the sportsmanship goes. I don't care about him ditching the press but, lack of sportsmanship is just another chink in his armour, as far as I am concerned. But as is obvious, I am the only one who cares...LOL.

Maybe someday you'll see my blog on the blog follow segment on the 4 letter network - THE WORST SEGMENT EVER!! Well except maybe that 64 athlete "tournament" they had where they asked who is more NOW...LOL. npse stinks.
