Ah yes, we’re a bit late celebrating this here, but here’s the deal: once again the masters of jumps have delivered a masterly stroke with the gold-encrusted sword of sportsmanship. This recent celebration had all the allure of a Dionysiac feast, a Bacchanal, or another form of hedonistic extremism, but in the end what remains in the mind is the soul-scorching hotness of the day, and heart-blasting excitement of the moment.

Life goes on, but we’re glad that there are these life-stopping moments of ecstacy when we see our champions conquer all obstacles and set examples of supremacy the like of which has never been seen before.

It is great to be an American.

NBA Feet: Kobe Bryant - Champions!

So LAkers are the champions this year. Not surprising. With that war machine under their command, we should be surprised that President Barrack Obama still keeps his seat at the White House. But this victory should at least seal our candidate for the next election. Kobe Bryant for president…

Well maybe not, but surely he deserves the title of president of basketball doesn;t he? It’s not just him who’s contributed to this great victory, but it’s his spirit and his dominance of the filed that have allowed his peers the masterly domination of the courtthat they have achieved on that day.

Winner takes all. That’s the point of sports. But one should not neglect what both sides gain in any game regardless of who wins. Courage, team spirit, pride, and confidence. And these values are symbolized in Nike’s era-busting designs as well.
