No Place Like Home for Relieved Lakers

Filed under: Celtics, Lakers, NBA Playoffs, NBA Finals

LOS ANGELES -- The Lakers' house party was in full effect on Monday night.



Home -- otherwise known as Staples Center -- was where the big band was, a booming bunch of trumpets and trombones in the third deck that bellowed the Mills Brothers' "I Ain't Got Nobody" as the celebration of a Game 6 Finals win grew below.







Share Home was where Kimsha Artest was, the wife of resident fall guy Ron Artest, who so confidently claimed that "we're walking out of here on Thursday with (a championship)" while cavorting with Derek Fisher's wife, Candace.



Home was where Joe "Jellybean" Bryant was, the father of Kobe Bean who scoffed at the notion that his son had been anything but a team-first leader of men in the days leading up to this indomitable Lakers showing.



"Everybody's gonna follow the warrior," the father yelled after the son sent him off with a hug and a kiss on the neck. "Genghis Khan! Conquer it!"
