Lakers Dominance

The Lakers won their 16 championship in franchise history, leaving their mark as one of the most dominant teams in NBA history. Game 7 was played down to the wire, as both teams hit huge shots and made huge plays down the strech, but towards the end, the Lakers won the game on the boards, and made more plays to win the game. The difference were Derrick Fisher and Ron Artest. Both players hit two turning point three´s to swing the momentum in their favor. On a night and expense of his 5 championship, Kobe Bryant made one of the funniest comments that could be ever been made by a basketball player, when a reporter asked, what makes this championship special to you as an individual, Kobe said,¨I have one more to Shaq, so you can take that to the bank. Statments like that, shows his competitive spirit and wiliness to win. Their is no argument about it, he has solidify his greatest on the game. The difference now compared to the player he was in the past, is his ablity and effectiveness to distrubute the ball and trust his teammates. We all know he´s a force to be reckeon with, but when it comes down to individuality, no one superstar can win championshipships, but his maturity as a basketball player has made the difference.At only 31 years old, and still plays at a high level. Kobe Bryant can past his idol Micheal Jordan,for possibily two more championship. Whatever the future holds, I can´t tell you, but as for the moment, there is no question, Kobe Bryant is the ultimate competitor, who will be the talk on alot of people´s minds, for arguably being the greatest player to ever played the game.
