NBA Finals: Lakers and Celtics Championship Series
The 2008 NBA Finals is all set up now and we get to see the two rivalries from the 80’s compete against each other one more time. ESPN did a great little story on this the other night and showed all the fierce battles that the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics took part in during the 1980’s. This should be a fun series for NBA fans to watch and I really like the Los Angeles Lakers in this series. It wouldn’t surprise me to see a 4 game sweep and the trophy and rings going to the guys in the Golden State. This will be a true battle of East .vs. West and all the fun will start on Thursday.
Finding an MVP for the series might be tough, since stars play on both teams. While a nice collection of stars play for both teams, there are only two that stick out the most. When you factor in the way these guys have played in the past during playoff runs, there is no doubt that Kobe Bryant and Ray Allen are the two super superstars in this NBA championship game. So depending on which team wins the series, will depend on who gets the 2008 Finals MVP award. I like the Lakers to win this one in 4 games and I believe Kobe Bryant will be the MVP of the series, to go along with his MVP award from the regular season. If an upset would occur, then the MVP will be going to Mr. Ray Allen. Ray Allen is a tremendous player and knows all about the clutch time of big games and he’s one player that won’t choke for the Boston Celtics. The Celtics do have some other players that are over-hyped, but its Ray Allen that runs the ship in Boston. So good luck to both teams and I look forward to the Ray Allen and Kobe Bryant match ups, to see which one of these superstars can bring home an NBA title to their respected cities.
