which separates the lake organization from any other organization and if you look at the numbers that are retiring, it's not just later grades, you know their all time great period, if you return these first western boats, Hamblin Elgin Baylor, do you have magic and have Kareem and have news, you know the

championship

s they have won, the city of Los Angeles is used to winning basketball and the pride that comes with that is instilled in us. I remember as a kid, you know, watching the Lakers, he was in eighth place. grade when Shaq and Kobe started their careers, I would come home from practice and watch the games every night, so I grew up a huge Lakers fan.

Wearing this uniform and competing for a world

championship

is extremely special to me growing up in a basketball family and every year it was the Celtics Lakers and when I sat on draft day with my family listening to the LA Lakers select Luke Walton It was like it was amazing. I've been in the league for six and a half years and I fought and I faced a lot of losses and to be on a winning team and a franchise like the Lakers it's a great honor to just be able to step on the court with the jersey on and fight the way I think.

He would always make you special just the way he is. that you have to fight from the beginning and that you have to go through things together, you have to cry together, you have to share some tears together and now we are seeing, you know how good has come from that, the team that loses in the final everything what it has. Do you ever come back, you know it was going to be a tough mountain to climb when we huddled together and then we split up to huddle one, two, three, rain and enough about all the adversity, all the struggles that he went through, I had a chance when We were able to pack it.

Instead, he decided to join in and come out and say something louder than us. It was just a brotherhood. I saw that it was a brotherhood. Pollination of purple gold for the fifteenth time in its glorious history. The Los Angeles Lakers are world basketball champions. The Celtics. They are dominating the Lakers in every way, so there was nothing fresh, you know, second place just means you are the first loser when we enter training camp this year, we are still very disappointed, almost angry about nowhere. I see two broke up, you know? last year and you can fill it in the room, you know, the bad taste was still there.

Training camp began with tools and the players and the team are very difficult to return due to the pain of the loss. I think we all learn the same page of Trying to get another chance to redeem ourselves and finish something that we couldn't finish the year before being at the Staples Center here in downtown Los Angeles, the opening night of the NBA season the year It was a long road tonight. celebration of a new one, okay, a super gay marathon, the Lakers began the 2009 season with renewed focus and determination, eager to put the bitter ending of the Finals behind them and with young center Andrew Bynum recovered from his knee injury from last year, their hopes.

They were in Walmart in the clouds, taking down the paint, licking it for Bynum, who throws it away. They hope this can be a breakthrough for him. It was the first time we played with these two greats, Palin and Andrew, together and it was a great welcome. It was quite effective. to start our season and it was his dedication to defense that helped fuel a hot start as the Lakers began the season to the crime. Total dominance by the Los Angeles Lakers for your chips. The defensive intensity and aggression were extremely high. playing at a really high level, I mean, it was just the mentality and the approach from day one, a training camp that carried over into the regular season and started off on the right foot, everything was exciting, the chemistry was good and Just I remember that very sick kids were hungry, we were hungry to show that we were capable of becoming a better team.

The first opportunity to measure his progress came in a Christmas Day Finals rematch against his nemesis, the Celtics, once again. In last year's finals, it has always been the best. historic rivalry in the history of the NBA Knights Merry Christmas friend, it comes thanks to the magnetosphere the Boston Celtics had the best start in NBA history 27 and 2 was an incredible streak of 19 consecutive victories the Ariza kid is hungry now that they were ready for that game you know themes on an incredible street when we're just eager to break that streak and just make a statement, you know, leave time for the save, Boston finishes on the 19th, you know, it's special, obviously, because there's a lot commotion and it's played on Christmas Day, and you know.

Everyone talks about us getting eliminated and stuff, so I think we've gotten better and better. Jesus assistant. I think we're just better boxers. The Lakers' next big test came in another highly anticipated matchup against the East-leading Cleveland Cavaliers and the sensational LeBron James is all about Kobe and LeBron the Lakers and the Cleveland Cavaliers are meandering in the East against one in the West I think which is actually the competition between saved James and Kobe Bryant is not the best player in the league right now In this case, when you have someone who people say is better than you, it's comfortable for you, you want to show everyone and including who is really the better player in his matchup with LeBron Kobe would remind the basketball world that he had no intention.

After ceding their throne to the young King James, the Lakers have opened a room with Bryan orchestrating the triangle offense to perfection, the Lakers pull off another impressive victory and now it seemed like there was nothing that could stop them except disaster and deja vu. when Andrew Bynum went down in January against the Grizzlies just like he had a year ago, the vitamin player got hurt oh no oh no Andrew Bynum you can hear him scream in pain and Kobe Bryant landed right on his knee oh you hate to see this happen this is a Seriously, you and on this Broadway stage, Kobe gave a performance unlike any the outfield had ever seen, guarded by the upper corners of the arc, left wing lifts three bellies at home, has his high jump shot working , earning us a little bitch up the ass, they don't.

I don't have an answer for Kobe Bryant, he's 27.8 on the side, he started lightening it up early in the game, the crowd really started to get into it, we knew that night was going to be very special, he's going to get back to work, he's going to sweat sweetly, I don't. I don't know how to go back, that earth now turns, that building appears that seems to bring out the best you know in terms of individual performance, it's not just great moments in sports history and it was incredible 61 points in the SEO season for now. your belly j55 yo phone 61 let's go the Lakers rode their momentum to Boston, the place where their season had collapsed a year ago, gave them the opportunity to exercise some of their demons from the

2008

finals, that was a trip in which We had served that schedule because we wanted to see how we did and how much better we were again the last time the game upset by Fisher-Davis brings it back heroes, the Lakers would culminate their trip in Cleveland, where LeBron and the Cavaliers had been invincible. all season except chakra Kobe Bryant the Lakers we will stop the Cavaliers 23 Danny Boy all the blocks in a season when they finish this trip with six at home we will improve to 41 and the best record given by the FBA is still there, you know?

It seemed like our guys really came together on that journey and I think for the kind of springboard we know for the rest of the season, the Lakers had overcome all the obstacles that were in front of them and with Andrew Bynum returning in April they had all their pieces . instead finishing with 65 wins and first place in the West they were ready for their playoff run we came together as a team and really showed ourselves and I think we showed the basketball world yes we were real and we came back it had been 10 months Since the Lakers' devastating loss to the Celtics in the Finals all season long, they had been eagerly awaiting their chance to make the playoffs and now championship time had arrived, they had been waiting to start the postseason again and it seems like they are The long wait in the first round was an unusually difficult team for the eighth-seeded Utah Jazz, but the Lakers weren't about to let them get in the way of taking the first step in their mission.

Come on, let's look like everyone. The title contenders, the Lakers, dispatched the Jazz and made their way to the conference semifinals. We know we have to get through the toughest teams in the Western Conference to get to the finals if we want to make it, so we're prepared. Having to play our best ball, the Lakers had every reason to feel optimistic entering the second round, many felt they would enjoy a smooth road back to the NBA Finals, but the fourth-seeded Houston Rockets had no intended to be simply another speed. blow in the Lakers' run toward the playoffs, the plucky Rockets were ready to fight for every inch and the Lakers' championship dreams were interrupted by a Game 1 wake-up call that will seal a victory in the Houston market .

We have to start the conference semifinals and you lose the first game and against Sun you are on their heels and you don't expect to be on your hills with the type of team we have after losing home field advantage, the leader of the Lakers would bring his team back like Only he could talk about the best players in the world if you have a guy who's basically out there. Time goes beyond the run side, leaning around a double team scoring again, play by play. Brian's heroics led the Lakers to two victories in the second game. and three restore order in the series to make matters worse for the Rockets, their star big man, Yao Ming, would miss the entire season with an injury, so when the series went to game four, it looked like the Lakers would have a easy path to the next round all year long we believe it matters and guys in this crowd, everything we've been through, we've fought, we have to do the same thing, let's do this fans, take this well, no way, no three What is your trio? with the rocket it showed that they weren't quite ready to retreat towards the shadow court, another three in the air, yeah, I think they all took a deep breath when they came out thinking it was going to be a bit.

Instead, it was easier for Houston to roar back to even the series, finding ways to pull a team away to motivate ourselves and each other after winning a 40-point blowout in Game 5, the Lakers again they headed to Houston as they looked to deliver the knockout blow, but again. They left the Rockets off the ropes. How about we try to win a championship? Just keep playing, don't complain, don't look at this guy to just play. People would say you know what the problem is. What is happening in this series? Why can't the Lakers control themselves. I've done it, a lot of people have gotten off the Lakers bandwagon and said you know this team doesn't have what it takes.

How could they let this Houston team take them to seven games? There's not much to say, we know. where we are we know what kind of situation we are in if you lose everything your word is over we went too far for this if we want to achieve our main goal we have to change it now if you want to be a championship team there is a certain composition that you have to have about being tested and knowing how to see how resilient you are and in the ultimate test of a seventh game with their season on the line, the Lakers would respond to the challenge.

Black Mica saw how the fumble left one before Colby drives the lefty triple lane and does it here and it was a good point for us to mature and grow as a team in Game Seven we were facing elimination and really managed growth as a team was quite es serious, but I think it really helped, jeez, you know, hey, this won't just be a walkthrough, the teams come after you, it's a good experience facing an elimination game to face the seesaw battle of a playoff series that goes up and down. You know, I think it helps the team come together, but there was one more obstacle between the Lakers and the Finals after acquiring star point guard Chauncey Billups, the Denver Nuggets emerged as legitimate contenders, the Nuggets earned the second seed in the West, They had an experienced coach in George Karl and were on a playoff streak and after struggling to get past Houston, the Lakers had their doubters in the Conference Finals against the surging Nuggets, which was a challenge for us.

I think a lot of people didn't give us a lot of credit and in all seriousness the Nuggets were looking for their star Carmelo Anthony to counter Kobe Bryant and in the first game they struggled to the point that Bowlby crouches around Carter gets instructions from Kobe Bryant for tea, move the ball over you. Trust his execution, but as the game came to a close, there would be two cast membersBryant's supporters who would help make a difference; 30 seconds later, the play better and tougher game would also follow the same pattern, a close battle until the last minute. with Kobe and Carmelo leading their teams, but this time the Nuggets would write a different ending and the Nuggets tied the series at one game each, they only earned the chance to go home and play in the crowd as the scene moved to Denver where the Nuggets were hosts. their first Conference Finals game in 24 years and were on the verge of leading the series with an eight-point lead after three quarters.

Kobe Bryant understood very well the importance of the next 12 minutes; First of all, as a leader in The attacking player of our team realized that this team is a dangerous team, if we don't get this, it could be a short postseason for us. Kobe Bryant, everyone covers, not just one player, everyone covers him like crazy and just like he did in the first game. Trevor Ariza would seal the victory with some key defense, but two days later the Lakers were back in form once again, they had a chance to push their opponent to the limit, but the Nuggets pressed back with a big win, a big cheer for the Nuggets, they will tie this series and go two games to two, the Lakers had regained home field advantage in Denver, but when the series returned to Los Angeles, it was the Nuggets who took over. momentum and they stole the spotlight, people were talking about the size of the members and their threads and they didn't really talk about us much and they won five.

The Lakers' big men prove decisively that they could stand up to the Nuggets inside. The Lakers would take a three games to two lead to set up the same scenario they faced against the Rockets, either close out the series on the road in game six or be pushed to the limit once again. Now take them out, we want to win this game. war not tomorrow with this game laughs what the Lakers must do to avoid a disappointment like the header against Houston to match the energy that the Nuggets will surely bring to this game but this time the Lakers would not leave more room for I doubt that the song ends, everything is over for the Lakers, they have gotten their ticket to the NBA Finals and they have done so in a dominant manner.

This word becomes the biggest challenge for one, two, three. The challenge to eliminate in the Conference Finals was the Cleveland Cavaliers. who own the best record in the NBA and beat MVP LeBron James, another series and another crushing blow, but as they had done during the playoffs, the magic would recover from adversity, you know, holding on, running, I Cordelia Fire was short in corneal rising Hill Fire is an O After winning the fourth game in overtime to take a 3-1 lead in the series, Orlando was about to shock the basketball world. They would take advantage of that opportunity in game six when Howard put on an epic playoff performance and the magic completed their improbable journey to the top.

NBA Finals, we're not done yet, we went out, we did what we were supposed to do, but we still have work to do. I hope everyone has started to believe in us and we will continue working. It's the first game of the NBA Finals in Orlando. Beat the Lakers here at the Staples Center tonight, it was once a hostile environment, but we are pretenders with your royalty, so because they work after 61 years, they lead the Lakers, they have been to the finals 30 times and now they are on the opposite side with Orlando in second place. The flattest look is basketball, the first basketball game is always the most difficult game because both teams face each other.

This sets the tone for the rest of the series, but only if they can avoid the surprise of magic that has already eliminated two. The red clock teams in the playoffs don't have to respect you, the mediation of the fans, nothing more than what they can't take away from you, the reckless and relaxed. Dwight Howard let his magic come in the first game only to be overrun by the Lakers everywhere. turned, that's some good tough basketball played by the Lakers while Howard was being shut down, the Lakers' leading man assumed his leading role, he went on a rampage with the ball outside the arc, it was easy to find him, the screen reaches the right, he shot , good kid, well defended and joker gets up and takes him down, we're excited to be back in a situation like this all year and not in Toms here and you know, I want to make sure we get off to a good start.

Brian reaches the top sidetracked by announcing it. Back to Kobe turns left elbow hits again with Kobe leading the Lakers to a halftime break the magic was left to regroup the change has to change but seven years without a title had fueled Kobe Bryant's intense hunger to win and On the other hand, he was determined to snatch it away from a very funky puppy. At the end of the first quarter he makes his expression like that, he's ready to roll and it's a great feeling for Bryant, it's amazing when he goes off, he's able to do that and definitely.

He pushed in that game, gave us great numbers and then we were able to capitalize as a team by scoring practically at will. Kobe scored 18 points in the third quarter alone, turning the first game into a rout in his own championship series. It'll be fine, it's pretty hard to find a champion that at some point in their playoff run hasn't been beaten by 20 plus the margin, it's disappointing, but it's still a win for them, they're not even four. I just want it. This one is so bad, really bad, so no, it's just that you put everything you have into the game and then your moves flow out of me to Kobe Bryant.

The first game was just the latest in a long line of memorable performances during his 13 years. years in the league, had not only cemented his place among the all-time greats, but also evolved as a team leader. He's always been one of the most talented players, if not the most talented, in the league, but his leadership, you know, gets people into the league. The same page and level as him when I grew up. Playing amazingly with the university is something special. The way you were taught just makes you feel like you can't handle it. I have to do something.

I need this guy because the way and for me he is just special. when I first got here, you know, he just helped me with the offense, you know, help me with the defense, what we set out to do, just talk to me constantly, you know, he was in my ear, it's amazing, you know, when it comes to , you know, being the Leader, there's a lot more back and forth communication, it's a lot more, you know, with the young people, talk to them, put your arm around them, let's see how we can make this work together so we can be the best. possible equipment.

You grow a lot. as an individual as a teammate as a leader I think it all starts with him he understands that we need to help him he needs us to do our part for him or this team to be successful part of being a superstar is also learning to delegate, regulate and facilitate not necessarily alone what you can do but help your teammates on that journey with you long after the 25 point loss in game 1, the Orlando Magic had a couple of days to think about it and adjust as we went. I came to the game tomorrow ready to go to a mess, y'all, no one would, you can't go back in time and get it back, you never win a series of losing series with one hand, the Lakers better bring the same intensity they brought .

First game because the magic will be ready and we are here again with a situation like we have had all along, the players were recovering from a disappointing game, but the magic was ready to put the first game behind them and they came out. shooting here is Rashon defending well the right side he read the sweet three balls and now the Lakers would catch fire with a spark from their defense Louis took Howard's hands off and for a reason he knocked him down he has this deal four against two Lakers Fisher shuffles Ariza tactile game this is what I've seen so far we're playing the exact same way we played dead when it's going to change what changed in the second half was a surge by Dwight Howard these finals took him down to the third quarter of the shot clock second game up to six Gasol with Howard making his presence felt also became a tense drama as the magic was restored down the stretch Orlando had tied it but they still needed a stop and it would not be an easy task, they face the great closer Kobe Bryant Bryant .

Fisher kosoul Ariza working for Los Angeles with Oda wooden triggers in his soul from back to front to the devil backwards 7 seconds left small finals of p2o here he is alone on the upper porch in turtle on the left black sea chocolate Pastor a gym biter defensive Kalu, no, come on, it's buying time to get to the circle ooh again it will cause Odom to jump high into the darkness and we will go to overtime you said Lee was open, he broke free Turkoglu made a great pass and the rookie at Western Kentucky He almost had the moment of a basketball. all life ends and we go to overtime and in overtime the Lakers took control behind the tandem of Kobe and Pao streamers fall from the roof of the Staples Center the Los Angeles Lakers are two wins away from 15 NBA titles that we have won doing a really good job of talking and understanding what will be needed at certain times.

We know it all starts with us, so we have to set the tone verbally and also play the old defense towards me and build it up in our constant dialogue about what we want. See, injustice said we can do it on the fly. We've been trying to time that right the whole game, it just didn't work for us and at the right time it did, but I wasn't going to find this. Moment we found a way to win, guys, it was a really good wind, get that sucker out, if you don't come out with the win, you didn't do the right thing, but we fought hard, we had chances to win, we didn't. do it, we have to go home and play a great game in the third game and get the win.

I'm going to your life, believe me, all of them, you want to be, this is the 2009 championship, one team will win this shot. and grind I'm a doctor geek that's how I talk I see you later I have to find my seat and you can't blame them for what a great season it's been but they're desperate for a win now they beat LA 58 3 and today here at Conway Arena it's going to be oh that not correct, let's see what happens when the series moved to Orlando, the Lakers had a 300 lead in their sights and Kobe Bryant was ready to make it happen.

Kobe Bryant is definitely full of energy to get off to a good start. starting out is almost like an old man playing with kids I'm going to do whatever I want I'm going to make every play it's a three-way chance for a four-point play listen he's on fire they're on fire they're playing very well stay with our game energy, Upstate discipline, alright, let's be as hot as Kobe, the hitman, magic we're about to get even hotter, shooting back in the series, assault on Lee, here in a mismatch , Lee shoots from the 18th, it's good, just shoot the ball. well the features are in the halls a float his right side of glucose for an ostrich Georgia well now what a magical performance 75% Ewing again an NBA Finals record during the half the only reason to lead wasn't much bigger that 21 of Kobe Bryant who was absolutely sensational yes we will win this game we are good we will win the game in the third quarter the magic maintained their lead as they searched for the first Finals victory in franchise history the Lakers began to close the gap and it was magic.

Turn to respond, the coach had made his statement and now the magic did its thing with defensive pressure that stopped the Lakers in their tracks. You have to give credit to the magical defense. Suddenly, the Lakers are optimistic. They look at the clock at six. Austin gave Louis double back, that's what. a two-point shot from his fragment Louis now there was little doubt about which way the Lakers would turn 35 seconds left they are behind by two Kobe Bryant and for the first time the Orlando Magic have won an NBA Finals game and our series is in the game for Orlando there's a new rocket pumping Duncan jumping blocking everything we're trying to bring home this is a tough team not a cupcake team a tough loss for us you know we feel like we can play a much better song tomorrow just make adjustments In your new home Phil Jackson had won nine NBA championships as a head coach and was now searching for an all-time record-setting tenth, and with his team locked in a tough final battle against magic, Phil had his Lakers working hard.

The coach's eye would be on what Howard does because then they'll see who collapses and know where the spacing is almost blind. His philosophy, the way he approaches the game is much more than just depending on how you feel, is the best wayto motivate him, as if we had to carry well. I hear myself. It just teaches you a whole mindset, you know, staying at a constant level and not getting too high or getting too low. I love him as a coach, but I also love him as a man, as a person, he's unique, but you know, this is this. is the one where you walk right into the bathroom, I think it's intellectually stimulating the way he talks to you, the way he tries to get close to you, the way he jokes about Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant had won three championships together in early the previous decade. then their relationship had often been stormy now, years later, they had forged a growing bond, the two went through what they did early in their career and clashed many times now they both appreciate each other even more, we have to lose him.

Let it be a classic example of one as a teacher, one is a student and a student goes to a class to gain knowledge and learn from the teacher, however, the teacher learns so much from the student, some people may not understand his methods, but if you played for him, you understand them completely, you know what it is about, he simply seeks to unite to achieve a common goal, look forward, look forward more than ever. Jackson made his Lakers believe in themselves and each other. Phil is a rare individual you meet. terms of being a coach that doesn't try to tell you exactly how to do everything, I really give you the space to move towards what you want your individual destiny legacy to be, but yeah, but power, I think it empowers you in a way that goes.

Beyond words, I think that is why his teams have always been able, when asked, to reach a level that other teams cannot reach. That's the best thing I've ever experienced as a player: go one, two, three. game for the baby's year, well, I can tell you that you are going to go out 3-1 against the Los Angeles Lakers, you are quite the cook, they won that game the other night, we are going to take this other game tonight at dusk, have a Balkan, you . buy dog ​​food Do the Lakers have the adjustments needed to turn things around tonight in Game 4?

It's hard to see Orlando winning two games in Los Angeles. Tonight is a must-win for Magic, but for Kobe Bryant, Game 4 brought the same stoic game face. He had carried throughout the series, he focused solely on the task at hand. The purple Lakers work to our left with Kobe 20 feet away guarded by Petrus. He stands up to fire off blows to the head. Kobe's goals had set the tone for the Lakers. The Orlando superstar put his stamp on the game with defense and the long arm of Dwight Howard would lift his entire team. He is blocking and intimidating.

This is how you compete in a defense event that reflects what Howard does. his first walk of the night and it's to rafer alston howard is having a great game alston transitions fisher to right a familiar theme was developing for the

lakers

a troubled opponent had come back to life and it seemed like they were just becoming stronger this is the biggest advantage of the final for Land O Lakes, you are a problem, Arthur, I think so. Woodard's locker room was just relax, he plays, take a deep breath, you know we're not out of this game, everyone was aggressive, so that's what I did.

Trevor Ariza had emerged as a playoff hero and ignited a liquor comeback hey Trevor covers the grass to lose the basket to the right hand Doug great play trevor ariza many important plays in this one the guy wants everything and everyone in a bet Ariza on the wing he now recognizes he shoots a three and buries it with one to shoot he has tied the game at 82 but the resilient magic regained the lead and they would try to hold on in the final minutes they tied the series that took Oh liquors with a final gasp Brian a through the middle of the court down five turns annoying beautiful soul big hand tongue 87-84 a possession game that's the chance we have now we're going to veto with a ball 14 seconds left throws Howard he catches underneath he wants to go up we have a foul called 11 and 1/10 of a second left the magic 87 the Lakers 84 while the roller coaster I won four here at Amway Arena and he made it a two possession game if Dwight Howard could make just one of his two free throws. the game would be out of reach and the series would be all even no good reaches 420 twice the will have one last chance here although the door was still open the Lakers would need some last second heroics and all eyes were on Kobe Bryant 87 Lakers 84, you know, number 24 is getting the ball in this situation.

Trevor unprotected, frozen to Kobe, jumps and sidesteps to Ariza through Florida. Fischer singles in Fisher playing is a game xxx in the finals. Image of Derrick, there's a triple and we're done. every square in 87 has a lot of heart, you know, I think one of the things that the guys take away from him is his ability to make big shots and not be afraid to make big shots at the fish, the best professional, he stays, confident, he stays . calm down, he scores important shots, he has done it throughout his career. I saw Nelson square up and prepare to go in for that three-pointer.

I thought, oh, this is going to go in, it was nothing more than scoring another decisive three-pointer, he said so many. in their playoff run and these fans are watching in shock and disbelief for the first time in 25 years, we're going to have two overtime games in the same final series down 12 at the half and we're going to fight to take that kind of shot and make it . type of shot that's what you dream of that's what you always want to be you always want to be together you get rid of the frustration take a deep breath we have to play harder come on, having won a second chance the Lakers were not about to let it slip away when Overtime started, everyone knew the ball would be in Kobe's hands, but that didn't make it any easier for the magic to stop him on jump shots, the Lakers regained the lead, but when it came time to add the final touch .

Bryant would give in to the teammate who had brought him there Derek Fisher taking Orlando's heart once again and they are silenced in Orlando the Orlando Magic blow a five point lead in the final 36 minute of regulation Derek Fisher hits a huge three pointer and the Lakers beat the magic by eight in overtime, they are one win away from their 50th NBA championship, like they almost made fun of him a little because you know he has more than five corners until you made those last two, but that's Derek, even though you know Jesus has supreme confidence.

Fish is the consummate professional, he's a leader, he's what really keeps us going when we need to hear some inspiration or just mentally put ourselves back in our shoes, he's always the one to vocally express it very quickly in 2000, he won a championship against Indiana and then game five. We assume that Indiana is going to give up and we went in there, they beat Roly by 30 points, so on Sunday, when we show up here, with the same determination, fight, guts, belief, confidence, we have to show up again with that on Sunday, they will not abandon you.

Don't get this and let's quit, let's enjoy it, but a game 5 on Sunday and Amway Arena almost everyone in the world is counting your Orlando Magic now, after that debacle, go get that bad taste in my mouth I'm in, that has long gone. The only thing that can cure that is winning a basketball game, there will be a dogfight and in the other corner was the best closer in the game on a mission that dates back to the 2004 finals. Kobe points to this moment since the loss of Detroit, knowing that he couldn't win a championship, this guy has been so hungry that he considers himself a guy that is always competing for a championship, so I think it's more about I will NOT leave another finals empty-handed, there is one person to the one I can choose.

I'm going to go play a basketball game with everything on the line. I'm going to choose Kobe. Kobe Bryant will try for his fourth NBA ring and head coach Phil Jackson is going for it from the beginning.
