Rafa missing Wimbledon, Lakers win 15th NBA title!


Last Sunday, the Los Angeles Lakers won their 15th nba title by defeating the Orlando Magic 4 to 1 in the NBA Finals. The Lakers played great basketball and brought the title back to Hollywood. Kobe Bryant was named MVP of the Finals. The Lakers Parade was great on June 17. I watched most of it. Hollywood G. is very happy with the Lakers winning their 15th nba title. Go Lakeshow for Life! Check the picture on the left of Gasol & Kobe enjoying the parade. :)

In other news, Rafael Nadal will not play in Wimbledon. Rafael is bowing out of the grand slam tournament due to severe tenditis in his knees. It is sad since Rafael Nadal is the defending champion. Many people were hoping to see him play in the finals with Roger Federer again. Now, the field is wide open for anyone. Hopefully, Roger can win his 15th title. Or, this could be time for someone else to win in London! It could be a new face doing the London Calling!

Federer wins 14th grand slam, Lakers go up by 2 in series!


Yesterday, Roger Federer won his 1st French Open title at Roland Garros in Paris. He has tied Pete Sampras for the most grand slam titles, 14, and he attained the goal of "winning each of the 4 majors" in the tennis world. Roger defeated Robin Soderling in 3 sets in less than 2 hours. Roger Federer received the trophy from Andre Agassi, the last man to win each of the 4 major grand slam titles. Agassi attained this feat in 1999. In other sporting news, The Los Angeles Lakers are 2 games away from winning their 15th NBA title. The Lakers defeated the Orlando Magic in game 2 of the NBA Finals last night in overtime, 101-96. Kobe Bryant commented that "The Lakers are not done yet, and the job is not finished" in a post game conference. For the Lakeshow, it has been a team effort in both victories. Kobe has received help from Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, and Derek Fisher in the victories. Let's hope the Lakeshow can win in the Land of Magic, Orlando, in the next 2 or 3 games. Go Westside!!
