Congratulations to the Lakers! I really was pulling for the Pacers. For the last 10 years, they have been trying to get to this spot. It was a long road, but they finally got to the finals. All I can say is, maybe next year! They have improved as a team over the years, I am sure they will eventually be able to get a ring!
On the other hand, the Lakers did an outstanding job. I am very proud of Shaq. I am from south Louisiana, and I remember watching Shaq at LSU, he was not able to get a championship there, but finally, he has been able to get a NBA Championship. But, I don't think the Lakers would have gotten there if it were not for my man, Phil Jackson. Phil brought that team TOGETHER! He was their saviour! I love Phil, but I had to go for the Pacers, because that TEAM has been together for a long time and they deserved their chance. But I can't stand Larry Bird!
Wasn't it nice to see Shaq's mother on the floor with him at the end of the game... instead of like some of his teammates with their.... I'm not going there, but I think you may get what I am talking about!
