It was 8 months ago when the NBA season officially kicked off. With it coming to an end Thursday night, I am more than pleased with my Lakers repeating as champions. They came up big on a night where Kobe couldn't do anything right on the offensive end. This victory was hard earned and more sweeter than the previous 4 championships. You see these guys out here every night giving their all. To both teams it's more than a game. It's a passion. As a coach, I couldn't have been any happier that the Lakers proved that rebounding and defense are the keys to winning a championship. Scoring makes the game fun and more enjoyable but when so much is on the line I'm proud that my team went back to the basics. I have all summer and fall to enjoy this championship because once October rolls around, it'll be back to work for another 3 peat. Even though they won it all last year, it's been awhile since the Lakers have had this sense of victory. It's definitely not 2001 anymore and Kobe is much older. I just want to enjoy his game play while he's still around.
