There was no Magic in Orlando tonight as the Lakers beat the Magic 99-86.

Kobe Bryant got his fourth title, coach Phil Jackson has his 10th, and just like that the Los Angeles Lakers earned their 15th national championship victory. Bryant scored 30 points and Pau Gasol added 14 and 15 rebounds on the night.

Coach Jackson now holds the record as the winningest coach in NBA finals history, a record that until tonight was held by Boston coach Red Auerbach as the winningest coach in finals history.

"I'll smoke the cigar tonight in memory of Red," Jackson said. "He was a great guy."

So that leaves…baseball? There's plenty of MLB baseball betting at the Bodog Sportsbook!
