LA LAKERS REPEAT AS NBA CHAMPIONS

As we predicted in April, the Los Angeles Lakers under the leadership of Phil Jackson and the best player on the planet Kobe Bryant, bested the Boston Celtics to win their second consecutive NBA Championship.
Sports,Kobe Bryant

The Los Angeles Lakers have won their 16th NBA championship, dramatically rallying from a fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Boston Celtics 83-79 Thursday night in Game 7 of the NBA finals.

Kobe Bryant scored 23 points despite 6-of-24 shooting while winning his fifth title with the Lakers, who repeated as NBA champions for the first time since winning three straight from 2000-02.

Ron Artest had 20 points for the Lakers, who shot terribly while trailing for most of the first 3 1/2 quarters. Yet reclaimed the lead midway through the fourth quarter and hung on with big shots from Pau Gasol and Artest.

With their fifth title in 11 seasons, the Lakers moved one championship behind Boston’s 17 banners for the overall NBA lead.
