Channels: Snow Who's Rooting For Who? Just for kicks we rallied together whatever snowboard industry fellow or gal that happened to be online and available for chat, or that had posted some kind of facebook status relevant to basketball, to see whose rooting for who in the National Basketball semi-finals. If you've been living under a rock and didn't know that the western and eastern semi-finals are happening right now then you should know that the four teams that have made it this far are the L.A. Lakers vs the Denver Nuggets for the western conference and the Cleveland Cavaliers vs the Orlando Magic for the eastern conference. Here's what we found out: Uber-pro Heikki Sorsa is a Lakers fan. (Since when did Norwegians get into Basketball?) Standout professional girl rider Ellery Hollingsworth: "I was rooting for the Celtics, now I guess I'm rooting for the Cavs cause LeBron is sick." Professional Riders & O'Matic teammates J.J. Thomas and Josh Sherman are both huge Nuggets fans. "Thuggets for life." -Josh Sherman (If you haven't seen it yet, Sherman has an incredible half-court shot.) Ashbury owner Lance Hakker hasn't taken off his borrowed Lakers Windbreaker since the series started. Pro Canadian Rider Mercedes Nicoll thinks she's a Lakers fan since she rides in Mammoth, CA two weeks a year. Transworld Snowboarding Video Dude Justin Gunson (who lives in Breckenridge): "Of course the Nugs. I'm not much of a basketball fan, I just gotta root for the home team." Another Breckenridge Local and pro-rider Mike Casanova is "Too confused to know which team he wants to win... so he hopes all the teams do well." Pro Shred Jack Mitraniavoided the question altogether. "I'm a Celts fan baby." Pro Photographer Zach Hooper "I grew up a Lakers fan watching Magic and Kareem battle the Bird and Celtics/Jordan Bulls with my Dad while living in Newport Beach. Now I live in Aspen and see the Nuggets having a good ball team- I have been stoked that they have been playing so good. During the playoffs I have just straight up been torn. One of these two teams are going to take it. Birdman reminds me of a white Dennis Rodman. All flash." ESPN Action Sports Snowboard Editor Tracy Anderson "Usually the Utah Jazz but since the Lakers beat out the Jazz I want the Lakers to win so that at least the Jazz lost to the best team." (Fair enough.) Professional Snowboard Videographer Tyler Mcleod: "What are my choices?"
