I'm happy too.

Although I don’t care enough about basketball to care too much. I only watched a couple minutes of the game.

I must be confused, I thought you were a huge Laker fan

Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen

I am a “Laker fan”, but I don’t really watch basketball all that much. I only really watched one of the Finals games, the rest I either missed or just caught bits and pieces of. Baseball and football are the two sports that I’m really into.

Do you guys think the Lakers will bring the trophy down to Dodger Stadium

sometime this week and throw out the first pitch like the Penguins did in Pittsburgh?
