Laker Domination

Kobe beef is the finest grade of beef you can get. It costs more, but it is worth the price. Oddly enough, the finest grade player in the NBA is aptly named Kobe Bryant. The Lakers put away the Suns in Game 6 on the road, punching their ticket to the NBA Finals. Kobe Bryant scored over 30 points, and Los Angeles was able to fend off a comeback-minded Phoenix team. After watching the Blackhawks game (thrilling), I tuned in expecting the Lakers to be up by about 15, which was the case the last time I had checked. Rather, though, I saw Phoenix on a run and within 5 of the Lakers. Then Kobe took over. He made a jumper between two defenders, and then a fadeaway over a well-positioned defender, closing out the Suns. Both were inside 2 minutes, and both inside 5 seconds on the shot clock. I could only shake my head in amazement and wonder how Kobe keeps doing it. Then, as I got to thinking, I might have been wrong in one of my previous blogs when I said that Lebron was better than Kobe. After all, it is Kobe Bryant who has led his team to the Finals for now three straight years, who has won four championship rings, and is considered in the same class as Jordan and Magic Johnson by many. Lebron is a great player, but it is Kobe who has the success that defines a world-class player.
