The NBA season stalled by the pandemic and highlighted by the fight against social injustice culminates when the Los Angeles Lakers and the Miami Heat face off in the Finals.
As the best-of-seven series kicks off on Wednesday, September 30 (Thursday, October 1, Manila time), the riveting storylines in this unlikely title matchup also unfold.
The Lakers are on a mission, hoping to win their first NBA title in a decade and dedicate it to late franchise great Kobe Bryant, who led the team to their last championship in 2010.
Lakers star Lebron James, playing in his ninth finals over the last 10 seasons, eyes a fourth NBA crown as he tries to become only the third player in league history to win titles with 3 different teams.
The Heat, meanwhile, look to complete their fairytale campaign and cap it off with their first championship since 2013, back when James still starred for the franchise.
Hardly anyone picked the Heat to reach the NBA Finals, but the team led by veterans Jimmy Butler and Udonis Haslem and bolstered by young guns Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro aim to defy the odds yet again in the league’s biggest stage.
Game time is 9 am.
