Kobe Bryant used to nickname himself (in his classic arrogant style) the “black mamba”, just like the deadliest snake on Earth. He said at that time that he chose that nickname because of the snake’s accuracy of every strike, which was the level he wanted to reach. Many NBA betting players that have seen him play lately agree that he finally is good enough to be called the Lakers’ Black Mamba.
The 2007-2008 NBA Season had been mostly owned by the Boston Celtics: these guys had a great start and managed to stay glued to the top, taking the Eastern Conference Championship title. However, during these last games, the L.A. Lakers jumped into the scene stronger than ever, proving that the Celtics would have a real opponent for these Playoffs.
Now it all comes down to these 2 NBA teams, and things are so interesting that there are no certainties of who could win yet. Lakers and Celtics disputing the NBA Finals is actually a tradition many had forgotten, and it will be re-born. The all-season favorite will have to face a team that seems to be stomping over everyone on their way. Kevin Garnett, Boston Celtics’ star, will have a face-to-face encounter with Kobe Bryant, this year’s MVP and the most impressive player so far, to the point that some are already comparing him to unbeatable basketball legend Michael Jordan. Those kind of comments will be reflected on the NBA basketball betting odds, for sure.
Will the Black Mamba’s venom be enough to stop Garnett? We will know that on Thursday. NBA betting fans, make your basketball picks!
