I know. In terms of blogdom, the night belongs to all the all the good folks overs at Silver Screen and Roll. They are going to be up all night, celebrating, dancing (but hopefully not turning any cars over), showing up at work with a massive hang over.
But the night also belongs to the last two letters of our school.
With two Bruins in the line up, the Los Angeles Lakers bring home the first legit championship (one that is not tainted with allegations and scandals) since 2002.
Congrats to Kobe and rest of his warriors. Time to go out and celebrate (responsibily). For full analyis on the 15 time NBA world champions head over to Silver Screen and Roll.
GO BRUINS & GO LAKERS.
UPDATE (N): There is an all out EXPLOSION of joy and celebration from BruinsNation. Some of the tweets popping up on our radar:

@UCLAAthleticsCongrats to Laker assistant Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (@kaj33)n an all-time Bruin. Way to go!!!@uclagymnasticsGO LAKERS!!!! i LOVE LA!!!!
@UCLAAthleticsCongrats to Trevor and Jordan for winning their first rings with the Lakers. Go Bruins!
Again you can follow all of our tweets here.
I am sure the party is just getting started in Westwood and all over LA!!! GO BRUINS.
UPDATE II (N): Coach Howland chimes in:
Congratulations to Trevor and Jordan! 2 more Bruins with a Championship. I can't wait to see the rings, sit with them, and hear all about it
Can't wait to see them in the parade. GO BRUINS.

I hope everyone that is fortunate enough to have that LA connection, whether is from being a Bruin or just growing up in the SoCal area, doesn’t take for granted what a special sports city LA is. Where else can you have, among others, three historic sports organizations in the LA Dodgers, the LA Lakers, and of course, the UCLA Bruins. Outsiders love to belittle LA fans as being “indifferent” because frankly they are jealous that we have been privy to so much success in the past, the present, and no doubt the future.

Congrats to the Lakers
And a special congratulations to Trevor and Jordan. Those guys are living the dream man, local kids growing up and playing for the only real college program in town, then landing on the local NBA franchise that happens to be one of the league’s most decorated and helping them add to the trophy collection.

I’m thinking back to my early days watching Silk, Kareem (Lew), Magic, James, Coop, etc, and before that with the Logo and Wilt and Elgin, and with special thoughts for Chick Hearn. and for all the fans that have grown up with this franchise. Congrats to the 2009 Lakers, and to Trevor and Jordan especially. Awesome!

Los Angeles
The greatest basketball city of them all thanks to the Lakers and UCLA…and some other “school” is on the outside looking in.
Congrats Lakers!

I thought about it
But it is SI.com’s splash page and I don’t want to completely rip them off. I’m still a little unclear about the whole IP policy.

Let's name all the Bruin/Lakers Champs
The easy ones right off the bat are:
Kareem Abdul Jabbar
Jordan Farmar
Trevor Ariza
But I know there are many more. Wasn’t Jamal Wilkes a twofer as well? Who else was there?

Re: (one that is not tainted with allegations and scandals) since 2002.
That was phenomenal. Wow. I’m speechless. Great work. I couldn’t comment there because post closed, but that was damn thorough. Hopefully the NCAA sees that to give them full perspective. They’ve now got NBA Finals head coaches calling them out for being a joke(Stan Van Gundy saying “To me, it’s a sham,” he said of the rule. “But I don’t want to get going in this press conference on the NCAA because I think that’s about the worst organization going.”) It’s time for the NCAA to drop the hammer and show they have the power to govern even the biggest money making schools and teams.
