Since their last title in 2002, LA has traded away one superstar, watched another go through a public trial and demand out and seen multiple coaches.
That's plenty to write about not including Kobe Bryant's vindication (winning a Shaq-free title) or Phil Jackson becoming the greatest championship coach in NBA history (his 10 titles surpass Red Auerbach's nine). But the thing that really grabbed my attention during the finals, and playoffs for that matter, happened in between the action on the court.
Throughout the postseason Nike basketball produced a series of Kobe-LeBron (James) commercials. They didn't feature athletes themselves, rather humorous representations. As the NBA season is now over, so to could the curtain fall on this ingenious ad campaign.
Here's a look at my favorites...
The answer to the question, clearly is in another question...
Got to agree there, Kobe still ain't got no defense...
Better get that championship ring display case expanded.
Aside from the Boston-Chicago opening round series and horrible officiating during the playoffs, I'm not likely to forget these ads anytime soon. And if this is the end for the Kobe-LeBron puppets at least we know one of them is celebrating.

I wasn't sure how much I liked these ads at first, but they grew on me as the playoffs progressed. I really like the last one where Kobe is celebrating. It's a good time to be a Laker's fan.
