The Lakers are the best team in the NBA
Yes, the title is meant to incite, but let's take a look:
Kobe Bryant - the best player in the world. Don't even try to argue.
Derek Fisher - a clutch, experienced veteran with a feisty backup in Jordan Farmar
Lamar Odom - not always on target, but one of those rare players who can get what they want any time they want it. He just needs to want it.
Andrew Bynum - the most promising center of this generation, especially under the tutelage of The Captain.
AND NOW... dun dun dun dunnnnnnnnn
Pau Gasol - Basically a Spanish Kevin Garnett. In the Garnett comparison what he lacks in intensity, he makes up for in grace and speed (he's a lot younger, too).
And then the endless bench... Turiaf (was that 6 blocks against the Knicks?), Ariza, Walton, Vujacic (say what you want, but he's arriving lately), Radmanovic (Ok ok), Farmar...
Jesus Christ on a Pogo Stick. No team has as much talent and depth.
All this team needs is to recover from their injuries and to gel together and it's a lock.
And I will once again be screaming at my television in April.
