The biggest matchups you're not talking about in this year’s NBA Finals...

THE MATCHUP: #1 FAN

Los Angeles: Jack Nicholson

The three-time Academy Award winner has been sitting courtside at Lakers games for more than three decades—first at the old Forum and now at the Staples Center.

Orlando: Tiger Woods

A resident of Orlando, the 14-time major championship winner has been a staple at Amway Arena this postseason. He’s watched the Magic defeat the Philadelphia 76ers, Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers from courtside every game.

ADVANTAGE: Jack

Granted, he probably woulda won anyway but earlier this week, Tiger basically threw himself out of the competition when he posted this on his website: “I’m really torn about the NBA Finals. I grew up a die-hard Los Angeles Lakers fan but have season tickets to Orlando Magic games. Hopefully, it will be a great series." Um, it ain't where you're from, Tiger, it's where you're at.
