A few minutes ago, the LA Lakers won their second NBA Championship in a row, beating the Philadelphia SeventySixers four games to one.

By winning this title, they've also become the first NBA champions of the 21st century, and it seems they've possibly started a run as the new dominant franchise.

A few things about the games stuck out to me: first, Tyrone Hill of the Sixers is a fantastic player - but he really needs to eat a bit. The guy must be the one player I've seen who looks way emaciated.

Secondly, Shaquille O'Neil is a truly dominant player, one of the strongest big men I've ever seen on the courts. His size must be the reason he seems to sweat so much, however.

Finally, one of the announcers really annoyed me: PJ-something, a guy who offered commentary off-court. He always looks like he's in tremendous pain or furious when he speaks.

Regardless of anything though, the Sixers played a hard-fought series. Even from down scores, they fought back to the end.
