Lakers = 2009 NBA Champions!

After 7 long years, the Lakers are once again the NBA Champions!

Beating the Orlando Magic in just 5 games, the Lakers secured its 15th trophy in 30 Finals Appearance. This championship is very special. It also means Phil Jackson (the Lakers head coach) surpassed Red Auerbach as the coach with most championship rings Phil 10, Red 9).

Of course, for Kobe Bryant, even though he doesn't say it, the pressure of NOT winning without Shaquille O'neal has been lifted off. This is Kobe's 4th ring, tying Shaq and Tim Duncan as the active players with most rings.

Congratulations Lakers! I hope the Front Office keeps the team intact or makes some improvement for the team to repeat and build a dynasty for the next decade.
