Sports Card Trifecta #2: Kobe Bryant
So it begins. Tonight the Lakers face the Rockets at Staples Center to kick off their season. It's their first step towards winning their third NBA championship in a row.
If successful, it'll be Pau Gasol's first three-peat. For Kobe and Fish, it'll be their second. And as insane as this may sound... if the Lakers win it all this season... it'll be Phil Jackson's fourth three-peat... that's twelve NBA championships!
If Coach Jackson has any chance of winning his twelfth ring... he'll need his players to play solid defense... he'll need his bench to bring energy in the second quarter... he'll need his big men to play tough... and he'll need his superstar... Mr. Bryant... to be a leader on the court.
So to kick off the season... and to hopefully bring the Lakers good luck... here's my 1st basketball trifecta... Mr. Kobe Bryant:
It's way too early to tell whether or not the Lakers will be able to win it all again. There's just too many factors... trades... injuries... chemistry. We can all make our educated guesses... but that's just it... they're guesses. Each year there's at least one team that takes the league by surprise. Just look at who's playing in the World Series.
Anyways... my guess is that it'll be Boston and the Lakers again in the Finals... with the Celtics coming out on top... but only time will tell.
Today's question of the day is... Who do you think is going to win it all this year?
Will Kobe get his 6th ring to tie Jordan? Will Wade and his homies live up to everyone's expectations? Will Shaq be able to write another rap for Kobe? Will Durant show the world he's the best player in the league and bring a championship to OKC in only his fourth season?
Only Nostradamus and the big man upstairs knows... everyone else step up to the line and take your best guess.
Happy Tuesday... and Go Lakers!
