Introducing the three point king...Ray Allen!

There's one thing you must know about me: I'm a big time basketball fan. There's another thing you should know about me: I'm a longtime die-hard Boston Celtics fan. And tonight I was in my element with the great old rivalry between the Celtics and the LA Lakers. It's been a long time coming for this Celtics championship win. 22 years to be precise. Congrats boys!! And out of Merced, California, my ray of hope, Ray Allen set a new record for the most three pointers in a championship series. Count 'em - 22! One for each year the Celtics have been waiting for this win. And the team set a record for the biggest margin of victory in an NBA championship game: 139-92. WOW! Talk about sustainable. This sport is green. Celtics GREEN!

Even though I was born and raised in San Francisco (and I do love my Warriors), I was brought up a Celtics fan. Both my parents are from Portland, Maine. So naturally if you're from greater New England then Boston's your team, as they were for my parents. And although earlier today I was writing about doing yoga (and yes - I will do yoga), basketball is my preferred form of exercise. So now you know.
Footnote: Sorry for any Lakers fans. But really, any team who resorts to throwing white towels on the sidelines to distract the other team from their free throws, as the Lakers' bench did in game 5, doesn't deserve the victory. I can't believe they didn't get penalized for that. I heard they had planned to crawl under the Celtics bench and tie their shoe laces together but no one on the Lakers team knew how to tie shoes. Heh.
