Los Angeles or Boston?
Posted by Annalisa Burgos | June 3, 2010
The first game in the NBA Finals is tonight, with a much-anticipated match-up of legendary rivals: the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics.
As an LA native, I was born and raised a Laker fan. I grew up watching Magic Johnson and Larry Bird duke it out. As an NYC transplant, I was surprised by the anti-Laker sentiment pervasive on the East Coast. Even New Yorkers who despise Boston would rather root for the Celtics than the Lakers. Weird.
That said, while the outcome of the series may be a topic for debate over the next few days, one thing is not debatable: Los Angeles is a better place to live than Boston. Sure we have mad traffic, but I’ve got one word for you. WEATHER. Enough said.
