Whatever your personal feelings are about them, arguably the two most loved and hated teams in professional sports will be sharing the championship spotlight over the next two nights.
Tonight at 10:15 p.m. EST in Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, and the rest of the Los Angeles Lakers will be receiving their brand new championship rings. (Lebron, make sure you're in front of a TV after your game to get a good look - LOL)
This will be the 15th championship for the Lakers franchise, and in case you missed my blog "Memo To Laker-Haters:" click here for an explanation on why they will be receiving their 16th championship ring this time next year.
At 7:57 p.m. EST tomorrow night, 3000 miles away, the New York Yankees will host game 1 of the World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies. (Shortly after a pre-game performance of "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys... Major League Baseball is trying to step up their game, by the way!)
I'm picking the Yankees in 6 games. This will be their 27th World Championship.
Amidst all of the media hype, off-field drama, scandals, etc, this is what it's all about... Raising the trophy and being crowned "champion."
