After a hard fought Game 7 at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles, Lakers beat their closest rival Celtics with the score of 79-83. With that win, Lakers win their back-to-back championship, and their 16th NBA championship! It was a hard fought game because both teams were struggling on the offensive end with Lakers shooting only 26% in the first half. Worst yet, Kobe Bryant shooting was so bad. The largest lead of the game by Celtics was over 10 points. Yet Lakers came from behind and turned the game around in the second half. A true spirit of champions! They outscored the Celtics in the 4th quarter to win the match!

Even though Kobe offensive game was limited to just 6 made baskets out of 24, he grabbed a total of 15 rebounds! And with an average of almost 30 points per game throughout the finals playoff, he was crowned the NBA Finals MVP!

Rightfully so that Kobe gave much credits to his teammates. Especially Pau Gasol he mentioned. And not forgetting Ron Artest who scored the critical 3-pointer shot deep in the 4th quarter. In the end, it was the entire Lakers team effort that saw them through for another championship title! Kobe’s 5th NBA championship ring, and so is Fisher’s.

Once again, CONGRATS L.A. LAKERS! “Beat L.A.“? No, it’s “BE L.A.“! :)
