Series Tied 3-3

It all comes down to this. Two of the NBA's most legendary franchises will battle it out for the championship tonight in Los Angles. The Celtics will be without Kendrick Perkins. He's out of action due to torn knee ligaments. Andrew Bynum might not be 100%, but he can still make an impact in the paint.
If Kobe can win his 5th NBA title, then his legacy will continue to grow, and whispers of Jordan comparisons will most likely start again. But if Kobe loses to the Celtics again, then all of the doubters and Kobe haters will voice their opinions once again. " He can't beat the Celtics" or " He owes a lot of his success to Shaq". These are some statements you will most likely hear all summer long if Kobe doesn't pull this one off. Kobe Bryant is a future hall of famer, and I don't think anyone can deny that, but if he loses to the Celtics again, then his ranking amongest the NBA legends will be sure to take a hit.
Now on to the Boston Celtics. Everyone thought this was LeBron's year, but the Celtics were able to take everyone by surprise, and make it to the Finals again. This would be a great opportunity for the Celtics to win another title, because their window of opportunity might be closing soon. Kevin Garnett is getting older, and the East is sure to get stronger this year. We might not know where Wade and LeBron will end up this off season, but which ever team they land on is sure to be a contender. Wade and LeBron want to win championships, so they're not going to go to a shitty team.
Who's going to win the championship? Lakers or Celtics?
I'm not a fan of either team, but I'm picking the Celtics to win this one.
