Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant will face each other in the NBA Finals beginning Thursday at Staples Center, Los Angeles. The Kobe-LeBron face-off fizzled out, instead Superman and his bunch of magical teammates will try to win the NBA championship after 14 years of going back to the Finals.
Howard and the Orlando Magic eliminated the Cleveland Cavaliers in game 6 of their Eastern conference finals, 103-90. It was a defining moment for the Magic after losing their superstar pointguard Jameer Nelson to injury. The Magic are a bunch of overachieving basketball heroes with no Finals experience.
Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers will play in their 30th Finals appearance. This is also their second consecutive appearance in the NBA Finals after losing to the Boston Celtics last season's NBA Finals. It will be redemption time for the Lakers.
Kobe and the Lakers dominated their regular season, 2-0, and also have the homecourt advantage throughout the Finals.
Stay tuned for more updates in the 2009 NBA Finals.
