How excited are we about our Lakers?? finally, we have risen from the basketball ashes, after a long 4 yr dry spell, I love Kobe!! and oh boy to play the Celtics, my ex team, well, does it get any better???
Don't tell Bethie I said thib but the Celtics have had a 21 year drought
We ARE spoiled in La-La-Land! The scary thing for the NBA is that the Lakers are stocked to be really competitive for 4 or 5 more years. They are very young and even as Kobe starts to diminish in athletic ability, he is such a student of a game and a determined competitor that he will adjust his game as he slows down as all the great athletes do (as long as he stays out of jail LOL I do think he has learned his lesson though)
Oh as for being the "ray of needed sunshine," well, it just comes from realizing how fortunate I am and thanking God for those blessings. Any of us born in this country could have come into existence in another country and had quite a different life, many of which we would gladly trade to live here. Most of us on this board have reasonably decent health and has not innocently contracted aids as millions in Africa have. There are millions who are homeless in China and Burma because of the recent natural disasters. Etc, etc. So, we've got plenty to be thankful for if we so choose (ok, so maybe this post wasn't so fille with rays of sunshine but future ones will )
