Although, the 2008-09 season has been over for months now as far as Timberwolves fans are concerned, the greater NBA season finally ended tonight as the Lakers captured another championship. The Lakers were the best team all year long and they got what they deserved. Of course, they may only have been that good because Memphis gave them Pau Gasol for $24 worth of beads a while back, but that's a different topic altogether.
As much as I don't like the Lakers, I am glad they won this year as it gave Phil Jackson his 10th championship. I've always been a fan of Jackson's coaching philosophy, and the fact that he is a fellow UND alumnus just adds to my appreciation. As a bonus to Jackson getting his 10th championship I no longer find any redeeming qualities in the Lakers. For the foreseeable future, there is no team in the NBA that I would actually like the Lakers to defeat.
Congratulations, Lakers, there is now yet another basketball fan who will blindly adopt the "Beat L.A." mantra.
