Holy Shit!
Lakers can start planning their parade This may not make sense to some people, but I've suffered as a Lakers fan. I actually thought this year that they would win the championship, but only because they took their style of "we'll play in the second half" type of play, to its logical conclusion of "we'll play in the second half of the season," and regretably, to "we'll play in the second half of the playoffs." Somebody should have told them they couldn't do that. Maybe somebody did, probably Phil, but Kobe talked Shaq into it anyway. Now it's just plain unfair.
If you click through the above article you will find that The Mailman and The Glove are coming to L.A. I thought that Tony Pierce was bullshitting when I read something about this on his bus blog where 'nothing in here is true,' but not having a TV and being in the hinterlands of the east coast where Jason Kidd is the only thing on the news, something made me click on the Lakers web site. There is nothing there of course, but that's only because it's not official. They technically can't sign until next week. Then, on a whim, I hit SI->NBA. Jaw hits floor.
Anything can happen between now and the ink drying on the paper, and then between that and the start of the season; but I feel for the rest of the league if this happens. I only hope that the Lakers current superstar guard makes it to the boards this fall.
