American Idol David Cook may be a die-hard Chicago Bulls fan, but last night he knew his performance singing the national anthem before Game 3 was going to be part of hoop history.
Its the Lakers and the Celtics, said the new Idol and all-around sports fan. I think this is one of those quintessential rivalries in sports. Im just honored to be here.
Got any predictions, Dave?
I think its going to go seven games, and then its whoever shows up, he said, adding that he did hope to say hey to Celtics Big Ticket Kevin Garnett last night.
The Missouri boy, who grew up Idolizing Jeff Hornacek, said pulling the oh-say-can-you-see duty at the NBA Finals is among the Top 3 coolest things hes done since being crowned American Idol.
He put visiting a childrens hospital in New York and appearing on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno as his first and second picks.
