Death of a Dynasty - Lakers fall from grace..
Just like last week May 1, 2011 we witnessed the death or the news of the killing of the World's or America's most wanted man - criminal - terrorist. Osama Bin Laden, America was in a frenzy , flag waving Americans , at the White House , and across the country I saw Proud American waving their flags from cars and backs of pick up trucks. Beautiful to see. America at its best, The spirit of America..
May 8, 2011 , we saw the disaster and the fall from grace from one of the proudest , and most successful NBA franchises , The LOS ANGELES LAKERS, the fragrant fouls by Bynun and Odum and the total quit job by Gasol and the laker bench was frustrating and humiliating for Coach Phil Jackson. The usually mild manner Phil Jackson , became a angry one when at one instance was pounding Gasols chest to get him to respond. The disgust and bewilderment on Phils face was worth a million dollars. It was a total meltdown and embarrassment by a proud team. My line of thinking is the Lakers team, felt its better to lose on the road , than to be humiliated at LA.. Maybe a stretch , but it what I felt they were thinking..
Why? did this happen? Dallas is a better team,. they play better defense and they were peaking at the right time.. Bear in mind the Lakers have won back to back championships , and got the best efforts by all teams every night , day and week.. They saw the best efforts,, so it wears you down,.,.But it that what really shut this team down?
NO! , This may shock you or even piss you off , Laker Fans,., but the truth is , according to LA times reports , Kobe is the blame.. Just like years ago with Shaq and the betrayal of those team mates, he decides to betray his big man Gasol.. That's why he disappeared or basically stop playing ,, he thought " the hell with Kobe, he ruins my life ,, !" I mean there is a man code among guys , whether or not you agree with that, real mean don't rat out or talk about what goes on in the Locker room or parties ,, you know,.. I mean , Kobe is a cheater , a raper and a hypocrite , it wasn't he team mates that ratted him years ago.. It was that young girl that was so offended and belittled by Kobe , and his actions. But Kobe thinks money solves everything , I mean he paid her off and paid his wife off with lavish gifts, but Lets be honest , Once a rat always a rat,, he separates himself from the team because , he doesn't want his business out there. Right?, what better way to cover up stuff ,if your team mates don't like you and don't want to hang out with you. Its just a train of thought that I feel Kobe believes in.. I never Liked Kobe , something about his phony smile and his arrogant attitude. I'm sure there are alot of Laker fans that feel this way, but turn their cheek so to speak , because he's a amazing player to watch.. But he's no leader of men,..,I would take Magic Johnson , Kareem Abdul Jabbar, James worthy, and those wonderful lakers of past , over this generation of Lakers,, it's like Bynum said we have trust issues,, and This team as constructed now , cant play together, I see Gasol , Bynum , and even ODOM , and Fisher all gone next year, new coach , new players.. But whose is the next Superstar Dwight Howard.. that would be amazing , but advice to you Dwight, Don't tell or share anything with Kobe , he will betray faster than you ever imagined. The Lakers will be back , and rebuild and probably win with Kobe a his new assembled crew.. But the fact remains , as long as Kobe leads this team , many people will hate the lakers , and wish for there demise.. Just like now.. It not the fact the Lakers lost , but how undignified they behaved, Bynums fragrant foul on a guy half his size is unforgivable under any circumstance,, Atleast Odum fouled someone closer to his size,, but it just show the lack of class and respect these so called champions are. A true champion doesn't embarrass himself or the legacy of a great franchise.. So , expect changes , expect growing pains,, and expect alot of people happy that the Lakers - rapers , fakers , are done.. Sports endings often never end happy or perfect. Boxers fight one fight too many. Players stay around too long and hurt their image with poor performances. Sports is the most honest activity you can partake in. If your great , you will excel , if you lose a step or have less strength and stamina than your opponent, you get beat, No mercy..The Sports Gods are Brutal and decisive. They have no feelings , other than they want perfection and excellence for their players. When your done ,a sports death so to speak is hurtful and quick. The death of this Dynasty , was more locker room trust than on court abilities. The fine line between Champion and chump is so thin.. The Lakers not only crossed that line , but fell from grace because of their actions and failure to accept defeat like a true champion. Shame on you Lakers and you wonder why people or fans don't like your arrogant , classless , and taunting ways, that's not how you carry yourself.. Ask Magic Johnson and those lakers ,, I loved those guys and still do,, these lakers are not even close to their class and dignity. Magic Johnson or Kobe,, I pick Magic all the time!!
Until the next straight up honest blog.. The SOURCE PRODUCTIONS @ 2011
