Kobe’s Magic

Though living in Boston, and enjoying the huge success of its sports teams, when it comes to Basketball, my heart lies in California. 3900 W. Manchester Blvd. Inglewood, California if to be more specific, the address to the good old Forum. I remember the day when I was just a little boy, in the only one TV channel land of far away, when a weird looking guy appeared on the screen and said he is going to show us Basketball from a different world. 
It was the early Eighties, and the new names that I heard on that day: Magic, Bird, Mchale, Jabar, Parish and Worthy, filled my head, and stayed there ever since. You had only two options back then, you were either a Celtics fan, or a Laker fan, and I went with Magic. More then 20 years have past since (shit I’m so old), in which Michael Jordan came and went, and then came back just to go and come back again, and while doing all of that changed the game of Basketball forever. The Lakers left the Forum moved to the Staples center in which they won a few more championships but lost many more games and went into a 5 year draft that made Coach Phil Jackson a relatively calm person to out of his way, and call Kobe Bryant “uncoachable“.
But this past week, I got a chance to watch the Lakers play, and I think that we can see the light. Kobe is better then ever, the team is looking very good. The game Vs. the Suns on Tuesday was a big test for them, and they passed in flashing colors. This year’s Boston Celtics is a better team then any other in the NBA, and I think they are favorites to win the title, but I also think the Los Angeles Lakers have a good chance to win the western conference.
