So it is... I was wrong... Twice... Last night, the world witnessed Kobe Bryant win his fourth championship. And this time, without Shaquille O'Neal. Also, for the first time, Kobe took home a Finals MVP trophy. Pau Gasol would bring the trophy back to Spain, Derek Fisher, a member of the 2000-2002 Lakers dynasty team, won his fourth ring as well, and finally, L.A. Lakers Head Coach Phil Jackson passed Red Auerbach as the most successful coach in basketball history by winning his 10th title. Kobe Bryant led the team with 30 points, 4 blocks, 6 rebounds, and 5 dimes, Trevor Ariza had 11 points in the Second Quarter alone, Pau Gasol picked up 14 points and 15 boards, and Lamar Odom had 3 crucial three-pointers. The Black Mamba proved us wrong by winning a title without Shaq. But one question still remains unanswered: can he do it again?
