lakerevolution wrote:YES!!! Not since that incredible year of 1988 has the city of Los Angeles been in this position. The tragic loss of Kobe Bean and his up-and-coming future WNBA star Gianna, the onset of Covid-19 and the strange times we have endured here in California, and the equally unexpected murder of rapper Nipsey Hussle in front of his own clothing store in LA, as he was just rising up as a community leader and business mogul . . . it's been a difficult year for The City Of Angels. Watching LeBron not only continue his excellent ambassadorship as the social justice voice of the NBA, but put a grieving and hungry city on his shoulders and bring the Larry O'Brien back to Staples. Not Milwaukee, not the punk-ass Clippers, not our rivals Boston, and finally not LeBron's former team the Miami Heat.
As for the Dodgers -- after 8 straight division titles, three World Series appearances in the last four years, winning all the games except the ones that matter most . . and watching future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw choke time and time again in big situations, the title is back in Chavez Ravine!!!
Yes, both championships will be de-valued by fans of other teams as "not real" and "an asterisk", but we as lifelong sports fans know that this year required more sacrifice, dedication and focus from the athletes, coaches, trainers, media and others than any year in moden history. MLB did a great job bringing the season back (though Commissioner Mansfred was roundly booed at the trophy presentation!), and the NBA rose far above and beyond in its highly successful efforts to respond to social justice issues and the devastating impact of a global pandemic.
In the words of Pat Riley, "WE'RE GONNA WIN IT AGAIN!!!"

Glad to hear that. I don’t agree with the GOP, but it’s all good. But lpmua6 is worse than just GOP. He’s just not a good leader to keep us UNITED.

Joe will be 78 this month, and the likelihood that he goes two terms is . . hmm. Kamala Harris grew up in my stomping grounds of Berkeley/Oakland and of course cut her teeth as a DA in San Francisco. Whether or not she has what it takes to be a POTUS we shall see but it's just good for America to have a more diverse government representing all Americans. More importantly, we as citizens need to be active in our communities to stay involved in what's happening. Too often we put it on politicians (or tv show celebrities) to lead us and give them all the power and blame.
