NBA Finals (Lakers d. Magic 4-1)

[cured]

Where's Sanblaster? Spaniard Pau Gasol manned up and helped the Lakers return to glory as LA beat Orlando 4 games to 1 to win the title.

A lot has been said about Kobe not being able to win one without Shaq (glad I don't have to hear that one anymore), Phil is now undeniably #1 in terms of the greatest NBA coaches, Chick Hearn gets to see his beloeved team raise a banner in his memory, and Pau Gasol solidified himself as one of the very best power forwards in the game today.

Amid a looking layoff at my company, people are pretty happy today.
