Very Very Important!!

People love sports... I am people... Therefore I love sports. Now that you know a little about me it is time to tell you a little about the sports that I love. I am a huge fan of baseball, football, hockey (yes I am growing my playoff beard, and no it is not for the Sharks) and I am absolutely in love with basketball. In the media there is a huge event that is happening in pro basketball right now. What is this huge media extravaganza you ask? Well it is a little thing known as the NBA Playoffs!
And it is something that I find very very important in the media currently. The reason this is so important now more than ever, is because I am obsessed with the LA Lakers among many other things. But this year they are the top seed in the western conference. Which for those of you who dont know what that means, it simply means that they are the best team in the western half of the NBA. This is huge for the Lakers, it has boosted their media coverage and their best player, Kobe Bryant, is finally going to get the MVP award after 11 years in the league. This has a been an amazing year for basketball. Another reason that it is so significant that the Lakers got the top seed is because this has been the most competitive the league has been in the history of the NBA. The western conference was exceptionally good this year, which really speaks to the caliber talent that the Lakers have.
Basketball means a lot to so many people. And for some it is a fun thing to watch on TV and for others it is a ritual when the playoffs roll around every year. The NBA Finals may not be as big of a deal as the super bowl or the world cup, but it is a huge media event to say the least.
