OK, it's down to Trevor and me. No, this is not a competition to see who is youngest, who is the smartest or even who is the better basketball player (all of which, by the way, Trevor would win). No, it has come down to whose basketball team will take the West and almost by default the next NBA championship.
Will it be Frank's Lakers--the team that he has watched since he was a wee lad growing up in Southern California? Or will it be Trevor's favorite for the year, the Minessota Timberwolves? The Wolves are not Trevor's favorite team, but he DID pick them to go all the way this year.
Tonight we find out who will take round one. It would be a great birthday gift from Phil, Shaq, Kobe, et al. if they took away home-court advantage tonight.
In fact, I have a challenge for Trevor if he is bold enough to accept it. If the Lakers win the series, he will have to wear a Lakers T-shirt under his dress shirt and gown at commencement, and he must show it to me whenever I ask. If the Wolves win, I will do the same, but with a Wolves shirt.
Go Lakers!
