Afternoon Delight: Los Angeles Lakers petitioning Minneapolis to see if they can find another championship for them

While the Boston Celtics defeated the Mavs 107 to 89 last night in Game 1 of the NBA Finals in their quest to win an NBA record 18 championships, the Los Angeles Lakers don't seem content to stay out of the headlines. After the breaking news that JJ Reddick would become their next head coach earlier in the week hit, they switched directions and apparently made an offer to UCONN head coach Dan Hurly instead.

But that was not enough for the Hollywood attention seekers, according to Pulitzer prize winning, Celtics Life long time investigative journalist Rondo Burgundy, the Buss family, owners of the Lakers, petitioned the city of Minneapolis late last night to see if they could find another championship for them to claim.
