Hellllllooooooo sports lovers,
It has been so long since I've talked to you ( I know you've missed me), but lets get right on to it and talk sports. Goodness there are just so many things to talk about where to start first, but how about we start with the world champion Los Angeles Lakers! On the back of finals MVP Kobe Bryant, the Lakers went on to win their 15 championship in 30 tries, (you know I'm not a math major but 50 percent is pretty good in this situation). Also, they won it in just five games ( I think a certain blogger said that as well, see two blogs ago). A big part of the championship run was because of the lanky Lamar Odom and the shooter Trevor Ariza. In addition, even though I don't forgive him for the dreadful playoffs he had, I got to say thanks Derek Fisher, for hitting two of the biggest shots of your career. But the person who I thought performed second best, (cause you can't beat Kobe) was Pau Gasol. The Spanish chicken was the reason the Lakers made the run they did. With a great post presence and a quick step and dribble, Gasol easily became the biggest threat to score down low in the entire league, so good work big man. My goats of the playoffs are as follows: Sasha Vujacic, please your only job is to make a three, and you didn't hit one. Andrew Bynum, you were just awful I'm sorry, get into the gym and work out and stop being a baby (even though you look like one). And finally, Dwight Howard. Boo, just boo. You let down your team by not performing and basically saying that you gave up midway through, realize that you need to be the best player on your team and stop talking. And for giggles, lets just throw in Courtney Lee for missing two games winners (I could have made that layup, where's my contract?) All in all congrats to the Lakers, and its nice to see that Bill Russell MVP trophy in the hands of a genius. Moving on.
I have to give a quick shout out to the Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins, for winning a huge game 7, in Detroit. Also having to watch their captain go down in the second period, and still find a way to collect themselves and score two goals on a keeper that seems unbeatable at home. I have to admit I was pulling for them, purely because I consider the Detroit Red Wings the New York Yankees of hockey, its basically your job not to like them. So congrats to the city of Pittsburgh, I'm glad to see the cup in your town, because lets be honest, I don't see the Pirates winning the World Series anytime soon.
And finally, lets talk about the best sport in the world, women's field hockey (gotcha), I'm talking about college basketball of course. Now, I attend the highly respected University of Arizona or as I like to call it, the Harvard of Arizona. As you may or may not know, we have run into some hard times as of late for our once prestigious basketball program. However, things are finally turning around with the hire of Sean Miller, and a great recruiting class in just under a month. The thing that keeps making me smile however, is the recent addition to the USC basketball program, and that would be their new head coach Kevin O'Neil. To this I just have to say, HA HA HA. Good luck USC, with a coach that doesn't work well with others and doesn't respond well to critics, he should fit in just fine with the Trojan program. Also, with the loss of every recruit in their class except one, the rest of the country should stand to benefit from their loss, especially Arizona, (cough Lamont Jones and Derrick Williams). All in all, it should be a very interesting year for the Pac-10. Well guys I think thats all I got for you know, until next time, bear down.
