So far so good for President Obama's prediction, as Lakers won the first game with Lakers 100 and Orlando 75.

Right before boarding the Marine One helicopter for the Middle East, President Barack Obama was asked by a media member as to who he thought was going to win the NBA championship, the Los Angeles Lakers or the Orlando Magic?

"Lakers in six, I think," he said smiling.

Worth noting: the basketball-obsessed Obama correctly predicted that the University of North Carolina men's basketball team would win the NCAA championship. He called the Super Bowl, too. His track record is flawless.

Shall we wait until June 16th to see how good his prediction is in this case?

Go Lakers Go!!

Lakars exceeded President Obama's prediction winning the championship in 5 games.

One year after failing miserably in the finals against Boston, Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers found redemption. They finished a season they felt was theirs with a 99-86 win over the Orlando Magic on Sunday night in Game 5 to win the 15th NBA title in franchise history.
