The NBA Finals kick off tonight and the Los Angeles Lakers are facing the Orlando Magic. The anticipated puppet vs puppet match up between Lebron James and Kobe Bryant (if you don't know what I'm talking about, see this) didn't come to fruition.
And we won't be seeing any Bryant vs. Dwight Howard commercials because Howard is sponsored by Adidas (the puppet commercials were made by Nike).
So what will we be seeing?
Well, a key player for the Lakers is Lamar Odom. Odom who, apparently, can blame his erratic play on his sweet tooth. Or something like that.
We will also see former streetball star Rafer Alston (nickname: Skip to my Lou) as the starting point guard in the NBA Finals. The Washington Post profiled Alston.
And if you have 35 minutes to kill, Bill Simmons had NBA legend Jerry West on his podcast (mp3 here). West is a very smart man, he was a great player, an equally great general manager and, if I can judge by this podcast, a humble man. His prediction: the Lakers will win.
West played for the Lakers and was the general manager for the Lakers for years.
