Its funny how during the Lakers championship celebration you hear about Shaq talking to the Cavs. Also, Shaq's twitters are funny.

In all, Shaq sent out eight tweets, congratulating Derek Fisher, DJ Mbenga, Pau Gasol, the Orlando Magic and Phil Jackson. Finally, he lauded Bill Russell for his appearance during the award ceremony.

To Jackson: "Congrats to you to phil jackson. When the general doesn't panic the troops don't panic. You are the greatest now."

Fisher: "Congrats to u to d fish, big shots the other day. Enjoy my man enjoy"

Gasol: "Congrats in spanish pau gasol, muchas gracias pappacito"

Mbenga: "Congrats to you to, mbengaaaaaaaa"

Russell: "Its nice to see the greatest big man ever on stage, smilin havin a good time. I love bill russell"

But this one killed me

If I was a Lakers fan, that would be Sig worthy.

The Phil Jackson is good too, cause he throws out another jab at Stan.

[Akiyama]

Hahaha. Yeah, I was just reading those. He also sent his congrats to Adam Morrison.

[Dimmauk]

I heard Jerry West was getting a ring too.

I think I see him on the new Wheaties box

Officers hurt as Laker title celebration gets wild

By CHRISTOPHER WEBER, Associated Press Writer 55 minutes ago


LOS ANGELES (AP)—Downtown celebrations after the Los Angeles Lakers’ championship win turned ugly as darkness fell, with some throwing rocks and bottles that left five police officers with minor injuries.

Police also said Monday that police cruisers were damaged, windows on public buses were smashed and fires were set in the street. Seventeen people were arrested Sunday night after police declared the gathering an unlawful assembly, authorities said.

Five officers had minor injuries, Sgt. Andy Mathes said. One of the officers was taken to a hospital and the others were treated at the scene.

Reinforcement officers were called in from throughout the city to help disperse the crowd, officer Karen Rayner said.

Television footage showed people jumping on police cars, rocking vehicles attempting to pass through the crowd, setting small trees on fire and throwing bricks at empty buses. A gas station and a shoe store were looted, police said.

Chief William Bratton told KNX radio Monday that police planned to watch the video in an attempt to identify vandals and make further arrests.

Bratton commended his officers for showing restraint despite “a lot of provocation from a number of knuckleheads,” he told KTTV-TV.

“It’s not easy to stand there when cowards in the middle of the crowd are throwing rocks and bottles at them,” Bratton said.

The 17 arrests were for disturbing the peace, arson, outstanding warrants and other infractions, Rayner said.

Across the country in Florida, the Lakers beat the Orlando Magic 99-86 in Game 5 of the NBA finals Sunday night to win their 15th championship and first in seven years.


Stay Classy L.A.

[Devia]

And your point is? The same thing happened in Boston last year after the Celtics won. There's morons everywhere, not just in Los Angeles.

mmmmmmmm

I personally don't think boston was as bad as LA after last night/this morning.

Then again, the media blows things out of context anyways >.>

[Dimmauk]

And there were no Riots in San Antonio. And we have alot of Mexicans here too, so yeah.

Stay Classy L.A.

[SDSD]

Last night was nothing compared to the celebrations after the Lakers won the championship in 2000.

[Slapper]

And there were no Riots in San Antonio. And we have alot of Mexicans here too, so yeah.

Stay Classy L.A.

Clearly San Antonio doesn't know how to party.

[Stee]

Last year Boston's was worse, they had people throwing rocks and rocking Laker buses, pretty sure there were lots of stabbings going on there too.

Most of those people aren't even fans, probably just a bunch of people who've watched a few season games then decided they wanted to look for trouble.

I remember last year when ESPN had their award ceremony in LA and Boston won a award and Ray Allen went up there and said "Another win in LA" while Derek Fisher was in the audience.

Lakers vs Boston 2011 finals please.....

So what is the difference between Boston and L.A. fans? Both are equally retarded? Good job.

Oh and cool story about Ray Allen and Derek Fisher. What was your point again?

[Stee]

Point is your just angry because even the people in San Antonio are boring.

[tyven]

san antonio would burn to the ground if mexico won the world cup

[GRT]

grats lakers, disappointing finish though, high point in game 5 was kobe's right to left jumper/floater/layup, that shot was friggin sweet

too bad this lakers team didn't show up against last year's celtics, would've been a very exciting 7 game series where it could've gone either way

[Dimmauk]

I think I'm going to visit L.A. soon, I hear the Riots are amazing!

What began as a lively but peaceful celebration took on a different tone for those remaining a few hours after the game. Some in the crowd vandalized a shoe store, buses and police cars, set small fires and threw rocks and bottles at police.

Police say 18 people were arrested for disturbing the peace, arson and other infractions. Three of those arrested were juveniles.

Sounds like a charming place to take the kids too.

Nah, not enough Mexicans. We have Hispanics, but not that many Mexicans. The Cops in San Antonio dont fuck around either, remember this is Texas.
