''I don't care if they wear glasses with no lenses in it. I will always wear mine with a lens. But it's a good look. Russell can wear anything. He's great looking, he has an incredible body, great smile. He can wear anything and he's going to look good. I have to dress up nice to look decent.''The NBA announced that ''American Idol'' finalist Jessica Sanchez will perform the national anthem prior to Game 1. The 16-year-old from San Diego also previously competed on ''America's Got Talent'' at age 11. ... Even though Miami is the team making its second straight finals appearance, Oklahoma City - with home-court advantage by winning one more regular-season game - is considered the favorite in Las Vegas. ''The fact that we're not always the favorite, I think is a great position to be in, but that really doesn't matter,'' Bosh said. ''We were the favorites last year. Look what happened.'' ... Since joining the Heat this summer as a free agent, Shane Battier said he's learned how down to earth league MVP LeBron James is.

''You guys don't get to see him like we get to see him in the locker room, on the team plane and buses. He's doesn't drink beer but if he did drink beer, he's the type of guy you'd like to have a beer with,'' Battier said. ''I like beer, so I'll drink for him.''LeBron James is quickly racking up MVP awards while Kevin Durant is collecting scoring titles at the same pace.Either could make a case as the best player in the NBA.Neither is interested in anything beyond team accomplishments.One of them is about to get the only crown he craves, their head-to-head duel the leading story line of the NBA finals that begin Tuesday night when Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder host James and the Miami Heat.''I think it's going to be a great matchup,'' Miami's Dwyane Wade said Monday.

But the focus will be on James,Nike Air Max Shoes the three-time MVP in his third shot at a championship, and Durant, the three-time scoring champion who is playing for his first at age 23.It's the first time the MVP and scoring champ have met in the finals since 1997, when Michael Jordan's Bulls knocked off MVP Karl Malone and Utah.''Everybody is going to make the most out of the matchup of me versus LeBron, but it's the Thunder versus the Heat,'' Durant said.

THQ on Monday said it ended an agreement to publish games based on the UFC license, a big blow for the struggling Agoura Hills game publisher that was once the undisputed master of MMA video games.At the same time that THQ made its announcement via a news release, UFC President Dana White strode onto a stage at Electronic Arts' news conference at E3 in Los Angeles to announce a multiyear agreement with EA to make mixed martial arts games."Our fans are so passionate, it's insane," White said at the media event. "Now we’ve hooked up with the biggest video game company on the planet. We can distribute this game to the 175 countries, in 22 different languages and to the over half a billion homes that we’re in."UFC's holding company,Air Jordan 5 Glow In The Dark Zuffa, issued a joint statement with THQ saying it had "reached an agreement resulting in Zuffa licensing to Electronic Arts the right to publish video games based on the Ultimate Fighting Championship brand, effective today. The agreement results in an undisclosed cash payment to THQ. Additionally, THQ will continue to publish its existing console and mobile titles through March 31, 2013."EA did not say how many games the deal involved, nor when the games would be released.

The news, greeted with cheers at EA's event at the Orpheum Theatre, no doubt had the opposite effect at THQ, which has suffered multiple financial setbacks over the last two years.The company last week hired a new president, Jason Rubin, a respected game developer who co-created the Naughty Dog game studio in Santa Monica, to help chart THQ's course through a crucial period.Evan Wilson, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities, estimated that THQ has enough cash left to keep operations running at current levels for about a year, unless it somehow raises more money -- a feat it may accomplish by relinquishing the UFC license to EA.Hoping to reach a young demographic,Air Jordan Glow In The Dark Team Re-Elect President Barack Obama introduced its first national television spot last night during the MTV Movie Awards.The commercial features Sarah Jessica Parker, who "says you should be able to marry anyone you want" as part of the reason why she's voting for Obama, while also touting how he's "created four million jobs."The actress adds:"As a woman, a mother, and an entrepreneur, I need to believe our country can be a place where everyone has a fair shot at success. This November's election will determine whether we get to keep moving forward, or if we're forced to go back to policies that ask people like my middle-class family in Ohio to carry the burden - while people like me, who don't need tax breaks, get extra help."

Johnson.This month Countdown Package, the seventh this year, is the combination of the Air Jordan V in white, fire red and black, along with the black and varsity red Air Jordan XVIII. While a similar Glow In The Dark Air Jordan 5 was released in 2006, this colorway is a retro of the original from 1990. Another interesting fact about this package is the Air Jordan XVIII was the last sneaker Michael Jordan in his last year in the NBA before retiring for the second and last time.For nore details,pls visit www.glow-in-the-dark-shoes.com.

Shane Battier, playing in the conference finals for the first time, had 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Heat, who wasted an early 11-point first-half lead before running away to break a halftime tie. Miami outrebounded the Celtics 48-33 and blocked 11 shots.''We let Wade, we let LeBron play in extreme comfort,'' Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. ''And we gave the other guys everything they wanted as well.''Kevin Garnett had 23 points and 10 rebounds for Boston,Air Force 1 Low which got 16 points, nine rebounds and seven assists from Rajon Rondo and 12 points from Paul Pierce.Pierce was 5 for 18. Rondo shot 8 of 20. Ray Allen was 1 for 7 from the floor and 3 for 7 from the foul line - missing four free throws for just the third time in his 1,270 career regular-season and playoff games.''We kept fighting,'' Rondo said. ''It wasn't pretty. We missed four or five layups, a bunch of free throws. That being said, we were tied at halftime but we just didn't come out with the right mindset in the second half.''The Celtics finished with four technical fouls (not including another for a defensive three-second violation), three of them coming in the second quarter - which was by far Boston's best of the night. One came for delaying the game, Allen got another and Rivers picked one up as well for arguing a call.

''I know mine wasn't,'' Rivers said, asked if the technicals were deserved. ''I can tell you that much. I don't know how long I've been in the league, but that has to rank as the worst I've ever had. ... Everybody has to keep their composure, not just the players and the coaches.''Game 2 is Wednesday in Miami.It's the third straight year the Heat and Celtics have met in the playoffs, the third straight year James has seen his postseason path go through Boston as well - the first of those matchups coming in 2010, his final run with Cleveland.Each of those came in the first or second rounds,Air Force One never one round away from the NBA finals.And while both sides would say there's a long way to go in this series, Game 1 winners have a decided edge in any best-of-seven, the conference final being no exception. In the most recent 10 postseasons, teams with 1-0 leads in conference finals have advanced 15 out of 20 times. One of the five instances of a team rallying from a one-game deficit was last year, when Miami ousted Chicago in five games.''One down. And they still have an opportunity in Game 2 to accomplish what they want to,'' Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. ''At times it was a strange game. Some good runs, both teams. We felt we could have played better and I'm sure they felt the same thing. But we found a way to grind it.''
