"Nice Try, Buddy!"

Kobe Bryant(notes) and the Los Angeles Lakers are in the NBA finals for the second straight year and record 30th time overall.

LeBron James(notes) and the Cleveland Cavaliers will need to win two more wins to join them. Otherwise, it will be Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic on the league’s biggest stage.

Not as sexy for Madison Ave., but certainly intriguing.

Bryant and the Lakers dispatched Carmelo Anthony(notes) and the pesky Denver Nuggets with a 119-92 victory in Game 6 of the Western Conference finals on Friday night.

“We saved our best game for last here, or maybe we caught our opponent a little bit off stride,” said Lakers coach Phil Jackson, who gets a shot at his record 10th title.
