NHL
Anaheim Ducks lead the Ottawa Senators 3-1 in the Stanley Cup Finals. The Ducks are 7-0 in clincher games and with that record it’s very possible we could have a champion holding the legendary Stanley Cup Wednesday night. Apparently the winning team gets to carry the Cup everywhere they go while continuing to drink out of it.

NBA
The Cleveland Cavaliers will face the San Antonio Spurs Thursday night in the first game of the NBA finals. Here are a couple things to keep in mind when you are watching the games:
1) The Spurs lost to the Cavs twice this year but this is the first time the Cavs have been in the NBA finals in the history of the franchise.
2) The Cavaliers players to watch are LeBron James who is widely considered one of the best players in the NBA and on the road to superstardom. The Cavs also have rookie Daniel Gibson who, with his 31 point performance in game 6 has everyone talking.
3) The San Antonio Spurs have Tony Parker who is famous for basketball as well as for being engaged to Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives). How cute is it that on their first date, Duncan invited Eva and her Dad out on a date and had no idea who Eva was (had never seen Desperate Housewives). Of course, the other superstar name on the Spurs is Tim Duncan who is one of the top players in the League and incredibly low key. You don’t hear a lot of bravado coming from his mouth, but when he has the ball, watch out.

NASCAR
Bill France Jr. passed away on Monday at the age of 74. Bill Jr, the son of the founder of NASCAR Bill Sr (better known as Big Bill), was instrumental in transforming NASCAR into the multi billion dollar phenomenon it is today. Bill Jr brought NASCAR from a regional sport to a national pastime. He applied sophisticated marketing techniques to entice corporate sponsors to pour millions of dollars into the sport. His son Brian has been Chairman and Chief Executive since 2003.
