Manute Bol died. :(

One of the very few professional athletes that you can legitimately say was a great man.

I can't really explain [i]why[/i] I hate the Lakers, other than the fact that I do. I don't like Kobe, I don't like Artest, and I don't like the smug look on Laker fans' faces when their team wins because "they're supposed to".

I don't care one way or the other about the Celtics, but I was really rooting for them last night. At least you can count on one thing -- vandals wasted no time last night celebrating by starting fires and flipping over cars in downtown L.A. God help them if they ever lose.
