The Los Angeles Lakers won their 15th NBA championship last night in Orlando, as they beat out the Orlando Magic, four games to one. The Lakers won game five of the NBA Finals 99-86.
First off, my congrats to the Lakers. Even though I was pulling for the Magic, the Lakers had shown that they were hungry after the humiliating loss to Boston last year. As for the fans, however, I can't say the same for them, as they looted businesses and rioted in the streets and even destroyed a bus.
And Phil Jackson called the Portland Trail Blazers a "bunch of jackals" a few years back? Hmm...anyway, the majority of Laker fans are probably sane and reasonable people. Unfortunately, there are a few idiots out there that do their best to ruin the celebration for everybody. I saw in the report on the CBS 2 website that the police union want the Lakers to pay for the damage these rioters cause, citing the economic issues. I say find the perpetrators and make them pay instead. The Lakers have nothing to do with the riots, so you guys in the LA police union, knock off that nonesense talk about suing the Lakers organization over actions they didn't themselves cause.
