[youtubeChris Bosh on Tonight Show With Jay Leno]
The video above probably won’t work cause they never seem to. So I’ll be sure to link it up. However, if anyone caught Raptors star big man Chris Bosh’s special report for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno live from the NBA Finals before Game 1 tipped off between the Lakers and Celtics, it was classic. Perhaps the NBA All-Star has a future in comedy when his career concludes.

He did an excellent job grabbing players from both sides and asking them random questions during a seven-minute bit for NBC. Maybe the funniest part was when Celtics rookie Glen “Big Baby” Davis was asked which Sex And The City character he would be. His long answer changing from Samantha to Carrie was classic.

Also loved when Bosh pretended to bury his jersey a la a construction worker on the new Yankee Stadium did with a David “Big Papi” Ortiz Red Sox jersey concluding, “Cursed again.”

Overall, this was a very entertaining segment and what you’d expect from the Leno show on the NBA Finals.

In case anyone missed it, the Celtics prevailed over the Lakers 98-88 in Game One last night at TD Banknorth Garden. Kevin Garnett paced Boston with a double/double (24 and 13) and Paul Pierce scored the first eight of the third quarter to spark the Celts to a great second half in which they outscored LA by 15 playing stifling D holding their opponents to only 37 points.

League MVP Kobe Bryant struggled shooting just 9-of-26 even though he scored a team high 24 along with six assists. He misfired on all three three-point attempts and turned the ball over four times.

The Celtics outrebounded the Lakers 46-33 and held second and third Laker options Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom to 15 points and 14 respectively.

Game Two is Sunday.
