NBA & LAKER SEASON OPENER TUESDAY OCTOBER 24, 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW NOT ONLY DO I LOVE THIS GAME BUT I BLEED PURPLE AND GOLD EVEN WHEN IM NOT WOUNDED!!!!!!! I LOVE MY TEAM AND NEVER WILL STOP LOVING THEM.
SO WE WON THE WEST LAST SEASON... KOBE BRYANT (AKA THE BEST PLAYER IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW ***YEAH I SAID IT SO SHART-FARTIN WHAT****) TOOK HOME THE LEAGUE'S MVP AWARD AND A GOLD MEDAL IN THE OLYMPICS THIS PAST SUMMER. BUT WE STILL DIDN'T GET THAT ELUSIVE CHAMPIONSHIP RING!!!
THIS SEASON LOOKS TO BE NOT ONLY TO BE INTENSE FOR THE LAKERS BUT POWERFUL.
KOBE BRYANT SHOULD BE EAGER TO PROVE THAT NOT ONLY IS HE STILL THE BEST IN THE LEAGUE RIGHT NOW BUT THAT THE AWARD WASN'T JUST A TIMELY FLUKE LAST SEASON BUT A TITLE WELL PAST EARNED. IT'S GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO SEE BRYANT PLAY THIS SEASON... WITH A RECENT ASSOCIATED PRESS ARTICLE STATING THAT HE WILL BE PLAYING LESS MINUTES THAN NORMAL AND THAT HE IS ELECTING NOT TO HAVE SURGERY ON HIS PINKY FINGER IN HIS SHOOTING HAND. WHILE THIS K.BRYANT FAN WILL BE DISAPPOINTED TO SEE HIM DECREASE HIS AMOUNT OF PLAY THE LAKER FAN I WAS BORN TO BE IS EAGER TO SEE HIM TAKE ON NEW AND GREATER LEADERSHIP AND TEACHING ROLES AND A BETTER TEAM DYNAMIC.
AS A TEAM THIS YEAR I SEE NOTHING BUT STRENGTH AS LONG AS EVERYONE CAN STAY HEALTHY... WITH THE RETURN OF NBA VETERANS, LAMAR ODOM, DEREK FISHER, AND PAUL GASOL TEAM LEADERSHIP AND WISDOM SHOULD BE AT A HIGH. I AM ALSO EAGER TO SEE CHRIS MIHM AND ANDREW BYNUM RETURN THIS SEASON AT FULL STRENGTH AND MOBILITY TO GIVE PLENTY OF DEPTH AND VARIETY IN THE POST.
THE LAKER GUARD AND FORWARD ROTATION STILL IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST AND MOST DIVERSE TALENT AND SKILL WISE IN THE LEAGUE WITH SUPPORTING CAST MEMBERS, SASHA VUJACIC, VLADAMIR RADMANOVIC, TREVOR ARIZA, AND MY PERSONAL FAVORITE LUKE WALTON. A GREAT DEAL OF THE LAKERS ABILITY AND POTENTIAL TO DOMINATE THIS SEASON WILL FALL ON THE SUCESSFUL ROTATION AND PLAY OF THESE PLAYERS WITH BRYANT, FISHER, ODOM AND THE NEW TALENT BEING BROUGHT ON TO THE TEAM. UNDER COACH PHIL JACKSON "THE ZEN MASTER" 'S DIRECTION I SEE A LINE UP FOR EVERY TYPE OF DEFENSIVE SITUATION AND TEAM STYLE.
AS FOR THE NEW FACES TO THE LAKER ROSTER... IM EAGER TO SEE THE ROOKIE FROM SAN DIEGO STATE BRANDON HEATH GET SHOWCASE HIS SKILL. OTHER ROOKIES MAKING THEIR NBA START WEARING PURPLE AND GOLD THIS YEAR WILL BE SUN YUE (CHINA), JOE CRAWFORD (KENTUCKY), AND C.J. GILES (OREGON STATE). HOPEFULLY ALL OF THEM WILL DO MY TEAM PROUD.
ONE FINAL COMMENT BEFORE I WRAPP IT UP... I'M EAGER TO SEE THE "ZEN MASTER" GET ONE MORE RING AND REALLY FINE TUNE THE TEAM THAT HE HAS. BRIAN SHAW, KARREM ABDUL-JABAR, AND MITCH KUPCHECK HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB GIVING HIM A COACHABLE AND CHAMPIONSHIP WORTHTY TEAM FOR THE 08-09 SEASON. AS A FRANCHISE WE NEED A VICTORY ENTERING NOW THE 4TH SEASON WITHOUT SHAQ TO PROVE THAT HE WASN'T THE SOUL FACTOR IN OUR LEAGUE DOMINATION.
TO ALL MY LAKER FANS I LOVE ALL OF YOU AND HANG ON FOR A THRILLING SEASON.
TO ALL MY LAKER BAND WAGON FANS GET OFF THE REAL FANS HAVE TAKEN UP ALL THE SEATS.
AND TO THE HATERS IF LAST SEASON DIDN'T PROVE THAT THIS FRANCHISE IS STILL THE BEST IN THE WEST YOU'RE IN FOR AN EVEN BIGGER SHOCK.
One mind one heart one voice one soul. One person speaks a word that plants an idea into another's soul that blooms into a beautiful concept and reality that is seen and spread throughout the world. And by one speaking another listening and sharing and by it gong forth in repetition we spread this Anjlik Sol.....
