NBA Endgame will preview Celtics-Lakers from all angles. Right now: sports betting options for the basketball historian!
If we ever thought that this 2008 series would eclipse the Lakers - Celtics rivalry from a few decades ago, Sportsbook.com is here to make us forget that. They are offering a series of prop bets on the Finals (entitled "Old School-New School") that focus on fake matchups born out of historical stats created by the 1984 series that everyone so fondly remembers. Por ejemplo:
Larry Bird (PPG Avg 27.4) +2.5There are two problems with these types of wagers. One, if you bet on any of them in order to seriously make money and not just because they're fun, well, the first problem is yours. But that's an entirely different issue. (No, seriously. If you are risking bankruptcy because you think Luuuuke is a 'lock' to score six a game, call someone.)
Kobe Bryant -2.5
Kurt Rambis (PPG Avg 7.1) -1.5
Luke Walton +1.5
Robert Parrish (RPG Avg 11.4) -1.5
Kevin Garnett +1.5
