Who the hell is this miniature Yao Ming – Sun Yue
The Lakers are better than the ‘96 Bulls. Beating the Bucks last night 105-92, the Lakers are off to their best start in franchise history. And more importantly, right on pace to beat the Bulls’ record of 72 wins. We told you way back when when we did the head-to-head team comparison of the ‘96 Bulls and the ‘08 Lakers that the team was nice.
Now that they are 17-2 with already a quarter of the season over, and everyone is starting to believe. While we are over here saying, I told you so… with an exclamation point!
They have the best player in the league and the most energetic bench mob in the league. There are about 10 guys on the team that can give you 20 plus any night of the week. But, hold up.
The Celtics, the Beast of the East, are over there at 20-2. As if the Ray Ban’s and tight jean phenomenon weren’t enough to prove that the 80’s are back – here we have the most classic sports rivalries of all re-developing, Celtics vs Lakers. A staple of the 80’s. My calendar is already marked for December 25th. X-Mas day for some. The day the Lakers play the Celtics for JerseyChasers.
And I didn’t even mention our dude Sun Yue, whose probs got more JerseyChasers than Kobe. And he is decent…
We’ll have more on him later on in the week.
