The Lakers aren’t the only NBA team that attracts celebrities.
Stars came out in droves Sunday for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals featuring the Magic and Cavaliers in Orlando’s Amway Arena.
Tiger Woods showed up on Amway’s Jumbotron early in the game. Then, right after halftime, Grammy Award winning R&B singer Usher walked to his courtside seat across from the Magic’s team bench. A minute and a half later, hip hop heartthrob-turned-bad boy Chris Brown was escorted to a spot two seats away from Usher followed closely behind by Rush Hour funnyman Chris Tucker and Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade and a couple friends to fill in the rest of the instant celebrity row. Utah forward Carlos Boozer was already seated earlier in the game and was a section over from the bunch under the basket near the Magic’s bench.
With only a two-day break after fighting off undersized and undermanned Houston in a fierce seven-game semifinal series, Lakers coach Phil Jackson said that his players are going to have to win on emotion when Los Angeles opens the Western Conference Finals against Denver tonight.
But if the Lakers are relying on emotion for a victory, I don’t like their chances.
Lakers guard Kobe Bryant admitted that “we’re bipolar†after struggling with the Yao Ming-less Rockets, and NBA analysts Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith said the Lakers have half-a—ed their way to the Finals after dominating the West in the regular season to finish one game behind Cleveland for the best record in the league.
Does it really matter which team is victorious in Game 7 of the Celtics/Magic series?
Unless you’re a fan of the teams, not really. Regardless of who wins tonight, the winner will eventually join the loser on the couch for the NBA Finals.
That’s because whether Boston or Orlando advances to the Eastern Conference Finals later this week, the Cleveland Cavaliers are going to roll over them within five games.
If you’re an NBA fan, you’ve had the debate with your friends.
Who is the best player in the league? LeBron, Kobe or D-Wade?
My answer is King James, and the populous thinks so too because the Cleveland forward received 109 of 121 first-place votes to be crowned the NBA’s Most Valuable Player earlier this week. Bryant won his three championship rings on the shoulders of three-time NBA Finals MVP Shaquille O’Neal before the big man left the Lakers to help Wade win Miami’s only NBA championship in 2006.
But LeBron James can distinguish himself by being the catalyst to Cleveland’s first NBA title.
