Media Day

Today is NBA Finals media day, which isn’t as bad as media day at the Super Bowl, but it’s zany enough. Hundreds of reporters, ranging from yours truly to some truly oddballs, will converge on Staples Center around noon to speak to players, coaches and other reporters in the hope of unearthing some nugget of information no one has ever revealed. Good luck with that. Guaranteed to happen: some knucklehead from some outlet that hasn’t been to a game or a practice all season will bogart an interview and ask someone something seriously ridiculous. If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be? is my favorite. Anyway, check back later for some worthwhile notes and quotes on the eve of Game 1.
