LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Handa na ang spotlight para sa isang magarbong pagdiriwang. May palamuti na rin sa Hollywood Boulevard para sa masayang piging.
Handa na rin si LeBron James at ang Lakers para sa pakikipagtipan sa kasaysayan.
Target ng Los Angeles Lakers na angkinin ang NBA title Biyernes ng gabi (Sabado sa Manila) sa pagsalang ng Game 5 ng NBA Finals laban sa hikahos na Miami Heat. Tangan ng Lakers ang 3-1 bentahe at sa pananatili sa bench ni star guard Goran, himala na lamang ang makakasalba sa Heat.
“What I’ve learned being a Laker is that the Laker faithful don’t give a damn what you’ve done before,” pahayag ni James. “... They don’t care about your resume at all until you become a Laker. You’ve got to do it as a Laker, and then they respect you.”

Hawak ni James ang 3-0 sa career finals sa dikitang sitwasyon at ang 3-1 bentahe at halos higab na lamng para sa four-time MVP. Tanging ang 2016 season lamang naghirap ng todo si James nang makabangon ang Clevelaand mula sa 1-3 deficit laban sa Golden State.
“Our guys are the ones who are out there in the arena marred by dust, blood, sweat and tears,” sambit ni Heat coach Erik Spoelstra.
“Our guys are the ones out there — 28 other teams aren’t out there. Everybody else is basically on their comfortable couches spectating on this one. Our guys are the ones that are in the arena, and that’s right where they are meant to be.”
