For the last few years a lot of casualt basketball fans have overhyped the Lakers as an organization and it's players as individuals.
It's about time someone put them in their place- such as the DEFENDING champions San Antonio Spurs.
My problem with the Lakers? Hmmmm......
Shaq is a 30% playoff free throw shooter (so much for being a PROFESSIONAL basketball player).....The Mailman should have known when to quit - Stockton did. The Glove looks old, slow and worn down - Parker makes him look silly (D? what D? 30 points in game 2 for Parker). What most North American bball fans don't understand is this.....
Bball played in other places in the world emphasizes the basics. Team defense, perimeter shooting and the easiest points you'll get- free throws. When I watch Parker (who's technically French), Ginobili, Nesterovic and Turkoglu these guys have the basics down. When I watch the Lakers I see.....
A bunch of profiling, high flying, free throw missing, "gimme the rock" demanding, more worried about the bling in the off season prima donnas. Organizations like the Lakers is whats wrong with the game today. And don't even get me started on Kobe.lol.
Somewhere up there - if theres a kind and benevolent God...may the Lakers be swept (it'll make the OT loss of my beloved Leafs sting less).
