My Off-Season Begins

Ahhh... It feels good to be a Laker fan these days.

After losing in the NBA Finals in 2008, the Los Angeles Lakers won their franchise's 15th championship over the Orlando Magic in five games this year. (Trivia: I correctly predicted that the Lakers will win in five games) Kobe Bryant won his fourth championship ring and Nike should be updating the puppet commercials to reflect the new championship ring. Bryant also won his first NBA Finals MVP.

A few days later, the team had a cost-saving 2009 draft to facilitate the signing of Trevor Ariza and Lamar Odom, two players instrumental in the Lakers' 2009 championship run.

A few months from now, players would have rested and injuries to Andrew Bynum would have healed and Bryant would be getting a rejuvenating break from basketball and be ready for a back-to-back championship.

This also means that my off-season from blogging here at Big Lakers Fan has started and I'll be back for the 2009-2010 NBA regular season in a few months. (Of course, I'll be blogging about major stuff sporadically in the coming days and months).

It was a great time to be a Laker last season. Here's to a great Laker run next season! Go Lakers! :D
