Only a few weeks remain before the NBA season begins and the early rounds of pre-season big talking has already begun. This time it is the LA Lakers bragging, though admittedly they have an organization to brag about. After winning the championship, they got the tough forward Ron Artest to join the team. The only guy who has been able to successfully guard Kobe is now on their team. Artest has come out with a statement saying that fans should blame him specifically if the team isn’t able to win the championship again. Let me say that again: he is to BLAME if the team doesn’t win it all. What an interesting year it will be, because it’s all riding on him. Nevermind that 20 other guys could have real importance on this team and could mess things up or accomplish big things. It’ll be an exciting year either way.
