A very good read, Tay gives his recap on the finals <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> grew up in Los Angeles, and even during The Finals, I had the chance to go back to Dominguez High School. It's weird, seeing one of the places you grew up, going back to your old school, seeing some of your old teachers. But everything was different -- different students, different buildings, some teachers who were new. And there were a lot of Lakers fans, which was all right, because that was me a few years ago. What got me though were my aunts and uncles who were telling me, "We're going to root for both teams." I told them, "How are you going to do that?" Well, we won, so maybe they rooted for me more.
