I didn't really have a favorite out of the 2. One good thing for the Magic is at least they won a game in the Finals unlike in 1995. A complaint about Dwight Howard from Kareem Abdul-Jabbers viewpoint was he doesn't have hardly any scoring moves to use to be good on the offense but still the magic did great considering what people expected them to do in the playoffs. Kobe finally did it without Shaq and didn't need a 81 point performance. Yo Shaq he did it without you, lol.

Hey elmiko! I was rooting for the Lakers, of course! I have
been a Lakers fan forever, at least as long as they weren't
playing the Knicks! I have also been madly in love with their
coach, Phil Jackson since he played for the Knicks way before
any of most of the mylotters were even born! He was one of
the best players ever! So I have followed his career since
he was a player and am so happy for him to win his 10th
victory as a coach! I do have to say that the Magic really
played incredibly well, up until the final game! The really
wanted to win and it showed! But, Kobe and the Lakers just
couldn't be beat! I am not a Kobe fan, but I have to say he
did prove his worth to his critics and especially to Shaq!

Not that I watched, but there is no other team but the Lakers (dodging bullets from Kings fans as I live in Sacramento now)...

i got to wonder if the crooked ref cost the kings the championship years back after the lakers won the series which was the closest nba series i ever seen. i honestly think the kings would have beat the lakers back in 2002 if that crooked ref was not gambling on nba games.

I really do not keep up with sports like I used to. I am not sure who I would want to win it. I know they both have some really good players to make it this far though and go against one another.

By the time this got to me the championship had been decided. So all I can really add it Go Lakers.

I was rooting for Orlando. I cannot stand Kobe and am so sick of the hype surrounding him. Plus, I felt like Orlando were the underdogs and I love pulling for the underdogs. And then I really like Dwight Howard and it doesn't hurt that he has a beautiul body ;)
