Today is officially the first day of summer. For those of us in Michigan that is great news as we can finally breathe a sigh of relief knowing there shouldn’t will not be any more snowy days for a while! For me, summer always means baseball, going to the lake, or playing in the pool. Rainy days in the summer mean movie marathons, finding a good book, or playing on a mini basketball hoop!!!
What do all of you have planned? Are you going on vacation or playing in basketball, or other sports, camps? Maybe you’re staying close to home and will enjoy your friends and neighbors all summer playing capture the flag, basketball, tag, and all the other fun games? No matter what your choices, we encourage you to stay active, safe, and enjoy the time you have off before school starts again.

As I was reading up on the previews for NBA Finals Game 7 tonight between the Lakers and Celtics I came across a video of Shannon Brown’s ridiculous dunks from the other night. It’s incredible how his head nearly touches the rim on that first dunk. Enjoy!

The Lakers gave the fans, and NBA executives, their dream: Game 7. In what will surely be a memorable and tough fought winner-take-all battle Thursday night, the reigning champs served noticed they would not be dethroned easily.
LA played a complete game from start to finish, essentially keeping Boston out of the game completely. Kobe was his usual self, but two key starters, Pau Gasol and Ron Artest showed up with an intensity that may have been lacking in previous games. Gasol, who nearly had a triple-double, found opportunities near the basket much easier as Kendrick Perkins left the game early and probably won’t return for Game 7. Artest was able to keep Paul Pierce in check with only 13 points while adding 15 of his own.
The Lakers’ heart was fully on display in Game 6. They crashed the boards relentlessly, finishing with 52 to Boston’s 39. The bench also came to play as they outscored the Celtics reserves 25-13. The impact the bench had was evident when Shannon Brown threw down two ridiculous dunks in the second half.
The game on Thursday is set for 9 PM EST on ABC. With the unfortunate injury to Kendrick Perkins I don’t see the Celtics being able to pull out the victory and Kobe should get his 5th ring, tying Magic Johnson. Pierce, Garnett, Rondo, and Allen have far too much pride, though, to let Game 7 get out of hand. I expect them to take the initiative early on and be very aggressive. The Lakers should get just enough from Odom, Artest, Farmar, and Brown to withstand Boston’s push and come out victorious in a low-scoring affair 91-84.
As a basketball fan we couldn’t ask for better. “It’s Lakers-Celtics, biggest rivalry in NBA basketball, seven games,” says Rajon Rondo. “It’s what it is.”
