Lakers ROCK!!!!

Crowded at Micky D’s… the only spot in town to watch the Laker Game!!!

Laker fever has run deep in my family for decades… my Great Grandmother was in the hospital, on her death bed, refusing to wear a hospital gown in her yellow Laker hat and Magic Johnson Shirt peeled to her am/ fm radio during the last Celtics/Lakers match- up. My Dad Steve never missed a game, before passing away a few years ago. My Grandma Tic Tac has carried on the tradition that was left behind from my Grandma and Grandpa Ooo-Hoo, and still keeps me up to date while I am out of town with the games. And you would think that with how crazy they are in China for the NBA, it would be so easy to find a cool, hip spot to watch the Laker Finals Game, even with the horrible time difference. But that was not what I found out today. It was wild how the last place I would think of to watch the game would be the place I would end up watching the most exciting game of the season; McDonald’s.

With the elevator music blaring, and all the hardcore Chinese Laker Fans peeled to the tiny plasma, McDonald’s proved to be the hottest spot today in all of southern China! What a fun morning. The game started my morning Friday; what a fabulous way to wake up; coffee, breakfast bar, and the Lakers Championship Game.

As the game played on, I think that the word spread and the excitement heightened and people finally started cheering…. Definitely the crowd was for the Lakers. The Chinese are smart ones!!!! I don’t think I can remember having such a blast at McDonald’s since I was a tot and used to play in the balls and kooky playground set.

So many people showed up wearing Laker Jerseys it was AWESOME. I didn’t see any Celtics jerseys…. Hmmm. They really love and idolize Kobe in China. Thank you, thank you, thank you Lakers for winning the game, it was really fun. This whole series was a fun one. What a great year! Thumbs up Lakers!
