Game 1 is only hours away. Will Kobe be capturing his fifth, or will the Celtics begin their climb to their 10th Finals win over their rivals from the West?
Nike put together this video that highlights some of the Black Mamba’s career highlights. Also featured are a number of Nike-endorsed greats, though it is a little strange that three Hall of Famers shown are without rings. Then again, it makes sense that Charles Barkley makes a big zero with his hands moments after Kobe counts to four with his. We know that all of the players will bring proper kicks out for the Finals, but which team do you think will go home with the trophy when all is said and done?
