Two hours prior to the actual game, Lakers starts preparing for their upcoming battle against the powerful and strong Clippers.
During halftime, the Lakers cheerleaders entertained us by dancing.
The audience became extremely excited when there were only three seconds left in the game. One of my favorite players, Derek Fisher, made a winning two pointer shot when the score was Lakers 65 - Clippers 66. Clearly, the Lakers are an incredible team.
My favorite team players are Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher. I like Kobe Bryant because he is an awesome player and he has gotten the MVP seven or eight times in a row. I like Derek Fisher because I actually met him. My first grade class had invited him to come to our school and visit us. We prepared by making decorations, drawing his pictures, and creating a huge poster. But after all that work he never made it to our classroom.
The day after we invited him, I met Derek Fisher at a middle school graduation. I couldn't believe my eyes! He was there with his wife, his children, and his protective bodyguard.
My dad and I decided to approach him for an autograph, however, to our disappointment, his gigantic bodyguard just would not approve. We said hi, shook hands, and when I told Derek Fisher that my class was so disappointed that he didn't arrive at my school, he apologized and explained to me that he had to be at the Lakers parade for winning the championship. I generously, out of the goodness of my heart, accepted his heartfelt apology, although, I truly didn't feel like forgiving him.
Here is a picture of my sparkly Lakers cap and my festive Kobe Bryant jersey.
