                                         Mitten State Sports Report's Series Notes:  





-  The Lakers '87' would have the bodies down low to match up against Tim Duncan, and David Robinson!


-  The Spurs were a great defensive team, but the Lakers were an excellent 3-point shooting team!


-  Tony Parker would struggle dealing with Magic Johnson's height!  Parker is 6'2, Magic is 6'9.


-  The Spurs record was 62-20 during the 2002-2003 NBA season.  They were 15-5 during the 2003 NBA Playoffs.  They won the 2003 NBA Championship.


-  The Lakers were 65-17 during the 1986-1987 NBA season.  They were 15-3 during the 1987 NBA Playoffs.  They won the 1987 NBA Championship.


-  Both teams rosters are loaded with star players.  It would make for an interesting 7 game series!
