Ebony Nichole Goins's Los Angeles Lakers fan blog

The draft picks for last week were not only astonishing but the opposite of what the general public expected. The Laker's draft picks were   at the bottom of pile to say the least. Not to mention the only player that was chosen who is unknown to say the least was foreigner name Chinemelu Elonu. I as well as fans were in complete shock when his name was actually mention in the second round of the draft picks. He seems to be a force to be reckoned with because his 235 pounds of strength and height of 6-10' inches. One could make the assumption that he may replace Shaq and be highly correct. Overall the picks this year for the Laker's were not inevitable but unpredictable.

In a position which they are in, they have the  pick of models, actresses, and singers to choose from, which is acceptable behavior in the NBA. With their constant wins and work on the field they earn the right to experience pleasure in the bedroom with whoever they choose. Though on a side note, I personally do not agree with adultery or divorce it  overall is none of our business. We are simply consumers who are entertained by these men's skills as if we were at a zoo observing animals. We as people will always gasp and gossip til we our old and gray but we do have to look at ourselves and ask if it was us in their position would we be any different.
