Purple and Gold

It was a seven-year wait but it was worth it. The Larry O’Brien trophy has finally returned to LA. For the past weeks, my mornings, every other day, were spent hanging on to every play by play update in Yahoo Sports or the faster ESPN Gamecast.

Much has been said about the anticipated LeBron and Kobe match-up in the finals, and to the dismay of the swoosh company, that dream or nightmare face-off did not materialize. Instead a Disney Series took place. It was LA versus Orlando. And the Grumpy-led Lakers won in 5. They say that this is one of the closest finals with two games going to overtime. It was really close with crucial Game 4 decided on the last few seconds.

The recently concluded NBA finals may not have been up in the ratings chart but I have never been this glued to ESPN since Luke was a rookie.

Finally, a parade in LA.

Oh, Obama just called Phil.

I miss the playoffs already.
