I'll take it, but then I'm a Lakers fan since Magic was running the show - it's been a long time coming - and it's nice to see Kobe playing team ball finally - and the emergence of Gasol, Bynum, Ariza and even the clutch shooting of Fisher speak volumes about the work Phil has done.

It'll probably all change next season - as free agents and the rest of the league adjusts - the King heading to NYC? - but for now I'm happy to enjoy it.
