Kobe wins his fifth title

This actually happened in the early hours of last Friday morning but as we were on holiday I have only caught up with the watching of games 5,6 and 7 tonight. The shot shows Kobe holding up all 5 fingers on this right hand to signify the fact that he now has a championship ring for each one.

This NBA Finals will go down in history as one of the real classics. It is quite rare for them to go to a deciding Game 7 and this series featured the biggest rivalry of them all - the Boston Celtics vs the Los Angeles Lakers. The Celtics were 3-2 up in the series coming back to LA for the final two games. The Lakers won game 6 easily, but game 7 came right down to the wire, and was decided in the final minute. The final score was 83-79.

Here's the match report.
