Its the 16th championship title for the LA Lakers as they beat the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of the NBA Finals by the score of 83-79. Shockingly, their Wheaties box is already set to go out to your local grocery store. Check your store shelves in a month or so for it if you want it. Personally, as a Washington sports fan I had no horse in this race but in the interests of not being a sore loser I wish the Lakers and their fans congratulations for an excellent season.

Even though it would’ve been a heck of a lot cooler to see Phil Jackson lose one of these things for once.  That guy is friggin bullet-proof. Also, can people put the rest the whole Kobe is as good as MJ now b/c he won almost as many titles?  Kobe wasn’t even the best player on the team for the ones he won with Shaq. He was the Jimmy Olson to Shaq’s Superman. Kobe is an excellent player, but he is no Michael Jordan.

If you don’t believe me, look up the stats on Basketball-Reference.com and you’ll see, its not even close. As a matter of fact, Lebron and Dwayne Wade are probably closer to his skills than Kobe is.

Nevertheless, congrats Lakers. John Wall is now gonna be gunning for you. TO BE THE BEST YOU GOTTA BEAT THE BEST!

The new and improved Deuce is back and almost in effect. We (well, Chimp) still have some tweaking to do but it’s more or less finished. Hopefully the new WordPress layout makes it easier to read and navigate the site.

Chimp and I snuck into the blogosphere three years ago with little fanfare. Since then you readers (shout out to Ross Perot) have helped our lazy asses become a hit with our friends and others we guilt into reading the Deuce from time to time. It was hard to figure out a way to thank all of you for your continued support. Fortunately we found someone who can put exactly what we want to say into song.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the one and only Dolph Lundgren:

Singing. Drumming. Chopping. Blogging. That’s how Dolph and the Deuce roll. Expect more frequent posts as we get up to speed in the new year. We know we’ve said that before but we mean it this time. A special thanks to international action star Dolph Lundgren and good luck with the Expendables.
