This wasn’t really even news.  The Lakers were the best team all year in the West and it was never in doubt that Kobe and crew would win it.  The Nuggets played well but just weren’t enough.  It almost seems like at times, Kobe Bryant and the Lakers are just toying with the opposition.  They should destroy the Magic.  Nobody can hold Kobe from the Magic – PERIOD.  Sure they beat us twice in the regular season, but that means nothing.  Our guy Kobe Bryant is ready to solidify his name in history.  Getting that Championship without Shaq is going to be huge.  A 4th ring.  Can you say lookout Michael Jordan?  Kobe Bryant is definitely in the same breath.
