It looking like the There Can Only Be One commercials didn't stop with the first round and the NBA will match up the superstars in every series like Tim Duncan and Chris Paul, KG and LeBron, and finally Boozer and Kobe.
KG and company pulled it together in Game 7 against the Atlanta Hawks to avoid the biggest upset in NBA playoffs history. Kobe Bryant just torched the Jazz for 38 points in Game 1 proving that he is truly the MVP and their series against the Denver Nuggets was no fluke and the Los Angeles Lakers are for real!
The Lakers showed just how good they could be today against the Utah Jazz in game 1, beating them convincingly by 11 points, but it was Turiaf only highlight that stuck out. This guy is probably the most passionate bench player in the NBA and he showed by smacking his repeatedly after a backdoor cut jam!
Although we had to say goodbye to the inspired Philadelphia 76ers who refused to die against one of the best in the East, they didn't leave without giving us some highlights and one of the worst haircuts in NBA history, Samuel Dalembert hair was like an Anthony Mason flashback! Detroit had their fair share too as they finally woke up!
