It's not very often that you can say "your team" won a pro sports championship. Just ask Cubs Fans... or Maverick Fans... or any number of long suffering fans of the many pro sports teams there are in America. I am lucky that as a young boy and teenager, I had a great father who loved sports and took me to games of my now favorite teams.... the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Los Angeles Lakers.
That is why it so poignant, with my Dad gone since 2005 that his favorite NBA Team just won it's 16th title. He loved the Lakers just as I do and I know he would be proud of the way I rooted for "our"team.
Kobe and the boys did it Dad!!! I love you....
