Black Mamba strikes again taking down Superman and company in the NBA finals. Bryant didn't play his best series ever but he was still able to make the plays his team needed him to make to win the series. With solid play from Pau Gasol all series long the Lakers really hurt the Magic with the pick and roll, using Bryant and Gasol to split the Magic defense and open up there shooters. Not to be overshadowed Lamar Odom showed everyone watching the series hes able to play up to his potential also! Trevor Ariza's defense and Derek Fishers huge shots at the end of game four also made a huge impact on the series.
Has a Magic fan I would also like to say I'm proud of how far they went this year. Going into the playoffs I was only hoping to take down one of the big two in the east (Celtics or Cavs) we took both of those teams out on our way to the finals. In the finals we were just over matched and out willed by a better team. But outside of game one and game five we actually played well letting game two slip out of there grasp really hurt them though, after doing that they came out swinging in game three and won for the first time ever in the NBA finals. But all that ended down the stretch of game four with two shots from Derek Fisher the Lakers ended all hopes of a championship this year for Orlando.
