Laker Ring Ceremony

Am I the only one that thought the Laker ring ceremony was long and drawn out. And did any else see the guy that got skipped by the announcer. Why was that even shown on TV. Its not hard to tell that im not a laker fan, but if it were any other team I'd feel the same way. I was not trying to sit through that. I just wanted to see Yao play last night. That all! Not all that presenting each other and crap.
