The L.A. Lakers did not beat the Boston Celtics to claim their 16th NBA title. The NBA officials put the kabosh on any title hopes that Beantown had. It was bad enough that the C’s were minus their starting center Kendrick Perkins, but they had to battle the barrage of foul calls that the officials levied against them to bail the Lakers out. Leading for almost the entire game, the officials had to take matters into their own hands and hand the Lakers a second consecutive title via the free throw line. It’s a sad day for Celtic fans and NBA fans, having to watch the commissioner give the MVP award to Kobe Bryant who had a horrible game 7 performance. Why bother with playing next year, why don’t we just give the Lakers the trophy now instead of watching another pathetic season of FAKE basketball.
