Ladies and gentlemen, a moment of silence

Really, Celtics, that was amazingly good. Like, all joking aside, you are one AMAZING ball team. I cannot believe you guys did what you did, namely striking an unholy fear into every heart in LA because for one moment, we really thought you had us on our home court. Alas, you tripped at the finish line, and the reigning world champs took what was theirs. A moment of silence for you all.

Shaq, you are a funny man. Undoubtedly, you were the best at what you did back in the day. But then you started getting soft, and it's funny that you started running your mouth then, after it was over. Remember that time you said Kobe couldn't do it without you, and now he has more rings than you? Yeah, funny thing is, so does he. A moment of silence for your ego.

Jazz fans... well... I can't imagine the pain you are feeling right now. Swept in the finals by an evil team just to watch them come back against all odds and win a title! That's really gotta sting. But I still have no respect for your team. All you Jazz fans, you remember that you have no right to hate until this time next year, and then only if your team actually accomplishes something. A moment of silence for all of your misplaced anger and frustration.

To everyone who has ever ever ever given me a hard time for liking a team that I grew up watching, a team that my father taught me to love, and told me that I was wrong for doing it, I give you a moment of silence now. Because next time I see you, you can bet your high horse I won't be silent.

Lakers for life.

I don't really have a "team"....and I can't fairly say that I don't like the Lakers because they are undisputedly (is that a word?) amazing....but I really can't stand Kobe. Sorry.
Anyhow, congrats to the Lakers and I'm glad your team won!
