After 3 weeks of sitting in a dark bar surrounded by LA haters and countless fried zucchini chips, I am one happy camper.  LAKERS WON THEIR 16th NBA CHAMPIONSHIP!!!  Victor and I (a.k.a. 6th Man) have put a lot of hard work into this series and it paid off. We’ve endured night after night of being outnumbered by Giants fans (aka anti-LA fans).  There’s just something so sweet and extra-satisfying about watching the Lakers win in SF.

I was so nervous today at work and hustled to get home early enough to get to Pete’s for one last time this season.  It was packed and we got a good corner of the bar for our group of 15.  Fortunately for us the number of Lakers fans was comparable to the number of people rooting for the Celtics.

It was such as stressful game and I still have a tummy ache from the game 2 hours later.  Artest’s after-game interview was so cute.  He really pulled the team through this game and he was as giddy as a little kid at Disneyland.  Maybe I’ll have to get a jersey with the number 37.  Great job, Lake Show.  See you next year for a 3-peat.

Here’s a little video clip of the minutes after we won:
