Last night sports fans got to watch an amazing Basketball game between San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Lakers, what made it so good was the fact that LA Lakers were down 17 points in the first half. They went on to beat the defending champions San Antonio Spurs, with the score ending at 100-92.

So who was the real star in the Lakers? You may be thinking Kobe Bryant who scored 39 points for the Lakers, but you could be wrong as some people have the view that Mitch Kupchak is the real star. The Lakers general manager had to face Bryant demanding a trade last year, but Kupchak would never give it and stuck to his guns, some people might argue why he did this but it was because he believed in Kobe Bryant and the talent he drafted.

The game of Basketball is very unpredictable and just last year Bryant was campaigning for Jerry West’s return to L.A Lakers, what would have happened if he succeeded? It’s almost certain they would not of closed as well without Kupchak, and although Bryant now shines on this team it was because Kupchak made it so.

Now that Los Angeles Lakers have defeated San Antonio Spurs, for the first time in 4 years they have advanced to the National Basketball Association finals. Kobe Bryant said, “Now the real season starts” and he is right about that. Coach Phil Jackson added that there is “Never a dull moment with these boys,” and on that note, lets have more dramatic games like last night.
