Check me out breaking down the NBA Finals and why I believe the Lakers will win. You will also get guest appearances from Ron Jeremy and The Rock.

For the written version of the pick just keep reading:

1- Focus

The Lakers after last year disappointment seem a lot more focused and determined this go around.

2- Home Court Advantage

The 2-3-2 format helps the home team a lot more than the 2-2-1-1-1 format.

3- Zen Master vs. Master of Panic

Phil Jackson trumps Stan Van Gundy in the coaching department.

4- The "O" Factor

Lamar Odom is the key to the series and I think he will come up big.

5- Bean

I think this will be Kobe's last shot at that elusive title without Shaq. If he doesn't win this year his legacy will be forever tarnished.
