so dad might have told you by now, but i have become a new lakers fan. this is because i live in los angeles, have never paid attention to professional basketball before, and i hear the lakers are awfully good. also, they had a parade that went right by my house.
yes, the lakers are the 2009 nba champs, so yes, they decided to have a victory parade (whats a $52 million deficit for the city of LA to stop that for?). and because i live one block away from figureoa avenue, where the parade was, i decided to go. kimmy, my roommate, is a big lakers fan, as are her boyfriend ryan and sister angie, and so they came to the parade with us. the following pictures are courtesy of angie.
ryan, me, and kimmy, waiting for the parade to start!
this is my new favorite lakers player, pau, the center. he is my favorite becuase he is 7 feet tall and from spain.
i think i need to learn a little bit more about basketball. but i like liking this team! as long as they keep having parades.
