Underdog Magic

Simply proving how the NBA has evolved into more of an individual superstar focal point, the focus of "team" basketball has finally resurrected its fame. As the Orlando Magic earn an unexpected trip to L.A. for the NBA Finals, the magic present themselves as triumphant underdogs who gave loyal followers a chunk of change who stuck with betting on them at sports books in Vegas. Aside from the great basketball the Magic has been playing all throughout the playoffs, I honestly think it was the media that got to them. As everyone by now has recognized the Lebron + Kobe commercials presented by Nike and the NBA, the Magic's series win contradicts the subliminal predictions of almost everybody, especially the predictions these commercials have presented. Notice how there were no Chauncey Billups + Dwight Howard sock puppets? I knew Rafer Alston would justify his slap to Eddie House's dome. That bitch had it coming.
