With all the hype of Lebron vs Kobe, we ended up with the red hot Magic taking on the experienced LA Lakers.
In Orlando the fans couldn't be more excited, They were the underdogs, who came out and crushed the unbeaten force called the Cleavland Cavilers, but on the other hand Laker fans will be disappointed with anything but another banner in LA.
But whats on the line for Kobe is more then anything else in this upcoming series. Kobe wants to be named with names like Russel, Chamberlain, Johnson, Kareem, Jordan, and Shaq. But with back to back finals losses, his name will be forever tainted and the one who couldn't get it done without 4 time NBA champion Shaquelle O'Neal.
But even with all these subplots the game comes down to coaching and whomever has the better players, and in both situations, the edge goes to the Lakers. With Phil Jackson at the helm, I don't see a situation in which the Magic win a game in LA plus ALL 3 in Orlando. Am I counting the magic out? heavens no, as Superman has shown, he will not go down until you make him. but my prediction, Lakers in 6.
