Is it just a coincidence that the Lakers and Celtics are back on top of the conference charts, or has there been some collusion going on?
Trades involving, directly or indirectly, Kevin McHale, Danny Ainge, Mitch Kupchak and Jerry West have vaulted their alma-matters back to the Chamelot days.
Don't get me wrong—whether it's just vain imaginings or there's truth in it, I'm all for it!
I grew up in the Chamelot days of Bird vs. Magic. Basketball was never the same before or after, and the league sure could use it.
Memphis (Jerry West) basically giving Pau Gasol to the Lakers (Mitch) for a cheerleader and an autographed Kobe Bryant jock strap. Kevin McHale and Danny Ainge bringing the Big Ticket to Boston. I don't know? It may not be the Book Depository and the grassy knoll, but definitely food for thought.
That being said, arn't we all happy that "It's On" again. Lakers vs. Celtics—it's Fantastik!!!

Jerry West is no longer with the Grizz, my man.

Yeah, I realize West is no longer "officially" with Grizz, but I have heard he still has a heavy influence.

Jerry West has said he had nothing to do with the Gasol deal. But Jerry is like an ex-president or prime minister, you can bet they sought him out in some form. But even if not, it doesn't really matter, it's good to speculate about and not entirely out of the realm of belief.

Is there a line right now for Kobe earning more NBA Titles than Jordan? Who wants to bet he'll get four more with Gasol and Bynum. He'll be able to retire a jump shooter. Watch.
