Two great teams played for the NBA championship but there will always be one champion. And the Boston Celtics deserved it. The overplayed the LA Lakers from start to finished in game 6 to become the champion. The lakers played desperately and lost their focus. they didn't show the form that help them made to the finals. the triangle offense designed by phil jackson didn't work because of hte good defense by the celtics. the celtics played more good defense and share the ball equally unlike on the lakers where kobe bryant touch the ball most of the time. the lakers lost because of the SELFISH play of kobre bryant...

Hey I really respect your opinions but I don't agree with the last part there. Kobe's known to be one of the cockiest players on the NBA. And why not? He's a talented player who scored the highest points for the Lakers in a game EVER. His team also got rid of Shaq to keep him on. I think that says a lot about his skills. And did he seem selfish in this last game? I don't think so. He missed a lot of shots, but so did his team. If there's a most improved player on the NBA, that would be KObe. He's no longer the selfish guy who hogged all the shots. He's grown into a leader who is able to pass the ball, make a play, and boost his teammates' ego. He's really given the younger players a lot of chance to shine on the court, so you can't say that he's selfish. He wanted to win badly and he had his heart set on winning. Unfortunately, the team didn't deliver. And Phil Jackson's plans didn't work.
