Who Will Have the Better Sunday? Tony Parker or Tony Soprano

So, with the NBA Finals and the series finale of "The Sopranos" both set to begin in just a few hours, who will have the better Sunday night?

Tony Parker or Tony Soprano?

Parker has been one of the key elements of the success of the San Antonio Spurs this season. The 25-year old phenom has become one of the elite players in the NBA, and only seems to get better as his relationship with Eva Longoria grows.

The last episode of one of the greatest TV series ever will air tonight on HBO. Many ESPN personalities have weighed in on their thought of what may happen, with the latest being Stephen A. Smith on Sunday morning's edition of SportsCenter.

Smith told Bob Ley he doesn't think Tony Soprano will be killed, but thinks someone in the Sopranos immediate family will get whacked.

Parker hopes to whack the Cavs with a two-game lead in the finals.

Old Timers Day

Hey Dan, What's Wrong?

ESPN's NBA Coverage Exceeds its Stanley Cup Duo

As the NBA Finals, between the San Antonio Spurs and Cleveland Cavaliers, begin Thursday night on ABC, ESPN has stationed Stuart Scott, Greg Anthony and Tim Legler behind a desk in San Antonio to work as commentators on Sportscenter.

Why didn't the NHL get the same treatment from ESPN?

For the Stanley Cup, ESPN only sent Steve Levy and Barry Melrose to cover the Anaheim Ducks and the Ottawa Senators. Levy and Melrose didn't even get a desk in the arenas. The only got a few minutes to discuss the series on Sportscenter from a random spot in the seats, while the NBA coverage on the network on Sportscenter alone Wednesday night totaled about 10 minutes.

What gives?
