Hope we see a Cavs-Lakers final

LBJ is not just arrogant, he's also a sore loser, coz he is a competitor he doesnt wanna shake anyone's hand both Celtics or Cavs makes an interesting and sell-out series versus the Lakers tnx




JC Navarro outplayed CP3 and goes for the breakaway layup

been waiting for an update...nice win.. =)

Nice job shutting Paul down!

Major lockdown on Chris Paul Nice job.

Wow, Kobe was amazing, especially with his 9 steals! The title is coming, I can sense it

I'm more into this last LA Times layout.

Congrats on advancing to the NBA Finals..

win the boat

congrats!!!

Great job.

I'm definitely pulling for a Kobe vs. LeBron finals. In a way, the Cavs seems like they'd be the easier opponent since the Cavs don't seem like they have as much depth as Boston does.

i think both are dangerous, coz i had a hard time against those 2 teams tnx guys, il be putting all-out effort in winning the title


SLAM MAGAZINE features Kobe and the Lakers run for their 15th NBA Championship.



In a season of redemption, where the Lakers decided from day one to finish off what they couldn't a year ago, another authoritative step was taken toward an NBA championship.

Those who questioned the Lakers' resolve were quieted. Those who wondered if they were too fatigued now know the answer.

Once they were done with the brief ceremony, the Lakers removed the T-shirts and caps that proclaimed them conference champions. Andrew Bynum, who missed this part last season because of a knee injury, was the only one who wore his new merchandise out to the team bus.

Bryant said this playoff journey through the West wasn't comparable to last season's breezy stroll, after trading for Pau Gasol, they went invincible cruising straight to the NBA Finals.

"Much, much tougher," he said. "Much more physical. Mentally challenging for us. But we gained valuable experience, went through a roller coaster of emotions."

Game 1 of the NBA Finals begins Saturday against either Boston or Cleveland.

The Lakers can now say goodbye to CP3, TD and JKIDD but are now facing the odds on either "THE TRUTH" and KG or LBJ and THE BIG "Z".

A year later, a year wiser, the Lakers have another shot at winning the franchise's 15th NBA championship.

I would prefer a rematch against the Celts.

sorry man, maybe nxt year

This is great. I can't wait to see LeBron versus Kobe in The Finals. I'm sorry, but I'll be rooting for the Cavs.

KOBE KOBE KOBE

hahahaha! We're gonna win it all!

Oh, I wanted a series against Boston... Go Lakers then

Kobe VS Lebron.. Dunk on Lebron, then put that on the cover of the magazine

The Cavaliers don't have the depth to match the Lakers. It should be an easier series as long as LeBron isn't cheesed by the AI.

yeah...i would really love to see a dunk on Lebron...and then on the cover of your SLAM finals edition...hehehe

haven't faced the cavs in my NBA 2k9 association but will try to give you pics of it when i do hehe...

maybe its_asdf is right, the cavs are much easier than the celtics, though its still just the 1st game.. i tried dunking on lbj but he's smart, getting out of the way every time i dunk il still try, tnx guys




Lakers half court trap paved the way for an alleyoop slam

Sun Yue scoring Nice win.

So is Kobe hurt?
