NBA Rules!
The Celtics have won 17 NBA Finals, the Lakers have won 16 NBA Finals, while the Magic have not won nearly as many. While these seem like fantastic records, let’s not forget Michael Jordan’s six NBA Championship titles in a row. No one will ever forget the days of Michael Jordan, who is currently the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats. Right now, the main contenders for the NBA Finals are the Magic, Celtics, and Lakers. I am writing this in an effort to express the Magic winning the Finals.
The Celtics are on a 13-game winning streak, the Lakers are in third place, while unfortunately the Magic are in fourth place. The Celtics have the longest winning streak this season, the Lakers are on a five-game winning streak, and the Magic have made a huge blockbuster trade. They have traded Vince Carter, Mickael Pietrus, Marcin Gortat, their 2011 first round draft pick, and money for Jason Richardson, Hedo Turkoglu, and Earl Clark from the Suns. This trade is bound to have effects for both teams. Many people think that because of the history for the Celtics and Lakers that they will meet again. Now that Hedo Turkoglu is back, the Orlando Magic will return to the Finals again, because he was a key part to their team when they made it to the NBA Finals two years ago. People think that because of the standings right now, the Lakers and Celtics are favored, but the underdog team sometimes manages to rally so that the Magic still have a chance to make it back to the Finals. Soon, things will start to go the Magic’s way.
It will be a really close finish between the Magic, Lakers, and Celtics that the NBA Finals have centered around the past few years. The Lakers and Celtics may have won many trophies, but do not count the Magic out. Michael Jordan still has the best plays in NBA history and will never be forgotten. Underdog teams always have a chance to rally. When you are picking a team to win the Finals, make sure to count the teams that have come close to winning in the past few years, in.
Great job! I like how you explained the ways that the basketball team Magic could win the finals. I also like the way you gave reasons to support the thesis. Your doing great!
ReplyDeleteDear Silas,
ReplyDeleteThis is Christopher and although the Lakers have won less than the Celtics they have more skill than any other team in both offense and defense. Kobe Bryant can shoot out Lebron James, Paul Pierce, Rondo, Garnett and whoever else you think is strong enough to beat Kobe. Lakers Rule the court and are the main reason people actually watch basketball. The Laker, Magic and Celtic war will always end in the Lakers victory.
Lakers have skill, jump shooters, height, hand-eye cordination, and the will to win. Like Kobe always says he and the rest of the Lakers are cold-blooded. Michael Jordan was amazing in his time but that is history and right now the present and future is Bryant,Gasol,Fisher,Odam and the rest of the Lakers. It seems that where ever the Lakers are the swish of the basketball is always heard.I don't care whatever you and any other Magic, Celtic and other team lovers say. Lakers rule the court and you all win bow before the Kings of the Court the incredible Lakers.
