Lakers Celtics Finals
For the first time in about a decade, I'm actually going to watch the NBA Finals. I grew up a Lakers fan so I naturally hate the Celtics. All Boston sports, really, are vile. Chicago sports teams, too. All of them make me want to punch something. Not that it takes much which is why I'm going to attempt some Buddhist meditation tomorrow. I'll try not to get kicked out of the temple.
Anyway, i's been about 20 years since these two teams have met in the finals and I suppose there's a few things different this time around:
- I have no idea who any of the players are except Kobe Bryant.
- I have watched less than 10 NBA games total since Magic Johnson retired.
- The only players I know are on the Spurs because Cylinda has some weird "hometown pride" going on.
- What's Larry Bird been up to?
- My favorite pro player ever was Byron Scott. He's now the New Orleans coach which has nothing to do with L.A. or Boston.
- The Forum is now owned by a church. This church does not own a NBA team.
Except for all those things, it's a rematch of the classic 80s rivalry. Exactly like it!
