Kobe Bryant got his fourth NBA Championship last year as the Los Angeles Lakers took out Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic.
The Lakers 2009-10 season has begun and they will be defending their title this year. They play their second game of this young season tonight and they will take on Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks on ESPN.
The other night on TNT, the Lakers had their ring ceremony and it was really cool as NBA players from the past were there to help the Lakers celebrate. Players like Jerry West, Magic Johnson, Robert Horry and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
What cracked me up was seeing Lakers' player Adam Morrison get his ring. He did nothing to get that ring but ride the bench. Morrison has been a major bust since he was picked in the 2006 NBA Draft.
Just think about that for a second. Former NBA stars like Charles Barkley, Karl Malone and John Stockton played for years in the NBA and never got a championship ring. But the bench-warmer Adam Morrison has one..lol! Life is cruel sometimes.
Another funny and ironic thing was the Lakers were playing the lowly Los Angeles Clippers, who have never even sniffed an NBA Championship. The Clippers do have some good, young players like Eric Gordon, Al Thornton, Chris Kaman and the #1 pick from the Draft Blake Griffin. The Clippers can't catch a break because Griffin will be out for about six weeks to begin the 2009-10 NBA season because of an injury.
Oh yeah, Kobe scored 33 points and Andrew Bynum added 26 points as the Lakers dumped the Clippers in Game #1 of the 09-10 season 99-92.
