Riding Kobe to Victory: Will the Lakers beat the Celtics in the NBA finals? Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger thinks so…in fact he’s betting on it. California’s Governor is making a friendly wager with his cross-country rival, Governor Deval Patrick of Massachusetts. Schwarzenegger is so confident that Kobe, Lamar and Luke will beat up the Celts, he’s expecting to receive 17 pounds of clam chowder from the Bay State, which he will then donate to a charity of his choosing.
But if the Lakers should lose, Schwarzenegger will provide a shipment of California-grown fruit, vegetables, nuts, cheese and wine to Governor Patrick’s favorite charity.
“The Lakers in five.” Aaron McLear told me today. But when I reminded Governor Schwarzenegger’s press secretary the Lakers are down 1-0 and would have to win four in a row for that to come true he replied, “Unlike John Kerry, I’m not gonna flip flop. When I make a prediction, I stick with it.”
Game two is Sunday night.
