For the past 2 NBA seasons, Los Angeles Lakers have emerged as the top team by winning back to back titles. This prompted talks of Lakers dynasty built around Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol. With their head coach a shoo-in for Hall of fame in Phil Jackson, winning 3-peat seems easier than everyone thought.
Not this year though...
They're praying for their dear lives in this year's playoffs.
They're facing Dallas Mavericks, a team that was severely haunted by the ghosts of their finals match up in 2006 when they blew an impeccable 2-0 lead against Miami Heat A team that was included in the futility club when they were eliminated by a number 8 seed team in Golden State when they were seeded number one in 2007 playoffs.
Now, Kobe is claiming they're still going to win the series despite down 3-0.
"I don't know. I'm just nuts". Kobe said.
Nuts it is. This is not confidence. This is plain nuts.
Michael Jordan cemented his legacy with 6 championships with the Bulls. Kobe is trying so hard that he can't even win a title on his own. Jordan has Pippen but never had a great supporting cast. Kobe meanwhile, must have a dominant big man in order to win one. Kobe is pretending to be Jordan that he is trying to out-do his Royal Airness by trying to overcome a 3-0 deficit, something Jordan has done in a modest situation being down 2-0 against New York Knicks dating back year 1994.
Lakers dynasty is falling and their once famous hall of fame coach could end his coaching career by being swept, something he never experienced in his whole career. Kobe is starting to show signs of wear and tear and Gasol has become a feminine figure in the Lakers lineup by playing soft.
As the slogan says, all good things must come to an end.
Jinno Rufino's boyfriends are about to lose... To lose against a squad hungry to reclaim glory after 2 turmoils experience in the playoffs.
The time to knock off Kobe and the rest of the gang is now shaping up.
The last free fall of Kobe and Phil Jackson is on the way. Not even destiny could save Kobe Bryant on this one.
And it doesn't even take a genius to figure one out.
