Lakers are 2010 NBA Champions..wohoo!

Revenge is oh so sweet..sa wakas!

The Los Angeles Lakers are back-to-back champions after beating their longtime rival, Boston Celtics in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, 83-79. After trailing by 3 1/2 quarters, LA finally reclaimed the lead midway in the fourth quarter and never looked back despite a last stand from the Celtics.

Kobe Bryant, struggling all night, was named Finals MVP for the 2nd year, but it was his team mates, Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, Derek Fisher and their newest addition, Ron Artest who won this one for him. They made big plays down the stretch...I mean, huge plays..Pau with his free throws, offensive rebounding and blocks..Odom with a couple of follow-up shots..Artest with his defense on Paul Pierce and his offensive game going, not-to-mention that huge three point shot with 1:02 to silence Celtic's own rally.

But I think, it's Fisher's three pointer with 6:12 remaining to tie the game at 64 apiece that turned the game around..Yes, Mr. Clutch Fisher hitting one big shot yet again to make the difference..

It energizes the crowd..it disrupts Celtics momentum..and most importantly, it relieves Kobe of his game-long agony..after that play, everything just went LA way.

Ah, this must be so sweet..not only did they get their revenge for that 2008's embarrassing loss, they also got to beat Celtics, their greatest rival, in a Game 7..that's something special for Kobe also..He further cemented his stature as one of the Laker's greatest, and he accomplished something even Magic Johnson and Jerry West failed to do: win over Celtics in a Game 7 of the Finals.

Phil now got his 11th championship as head coach, the most by any coach in all of professional sports..perhaps another one next year..c'mon, Phil..4th three-peat before you finally call it quits..now that'd be really awesome for the books!

Kobe now has 5, that's a handful of rings (are you watching, Lebron?)..one more to tie MJ wohoo!

Pau ( Viva Espana!) has got 2 championships in 3 Finals appearance with the Lakers, not bad eh?..Fisher also got 5. Odom got his 2nd..and Artest, got his wish..his 1st.

So now, I must say to all the Lakers fans out there..pop the champagne..it's raining purple and gold right now.

and as Kobe said, " Let's go for it again!"

So..see you next year!
