This weeks NBA finals have been the hottest ticket in Orlando, drawing in many celebrities, both local and from Hollywood. Seven-year-old Gina Marie Incandela also known as the Orlando Magic’s “good luck charm” opened Game 4 by singing the national anthem before the excited crowd. By nights end the Magic’s luck seemed to have run out, although little Gina Marie Incandela’s charm and voice was as strong as ever.
Local Orlando 104.1 FM Radio personality, and host of " 2 Guys 1 Sports Show", Jack Bradshaw says he missed the shot of a lifetime when he forgot to film director Spike Lee as he was escorted into the woman’s bathroom.
Bradshaw:
“ After a woman came out ,they cleared the bathroom so Lee could enter”
" They even held the door for him."
"Then some of the television crew watching joked with one another ."
“ Are you going to wipe his XXX too ?”
Poor Bradshaw is kicking himself today for missing out on what surely would have been a big viral sensation on the web.
You can hear his show "2 Guys 1 Sports Show" live Saturdays on 104.1 FM 2pm - 4pm.
Other Hollywood stars were in abundance including Toby Maguire, Kevin Connolly, Chris Tucker, and Sophia Bush.
Of course the L.A. Laker's had their # 1 fan/mascot Jack Nicholson on hand to cheer them on as he always does.

Wrestler and recent reality TV star Hulk Hogan also made an appearance at the game. He entertained the crowd and showed his support for the Magic with his Hulk style version of a “time out” show. He pumped up the crowd by ripping his blue T-shirt off revealing a “ Beat La T-shirt", and his trademark bandanna and sunglass's.

Former Orlando resident and Magic player Shaquille O’Neil was also there to witness the showdown between the Magic and the Laker's. Since he has played for both teams in the past, it is hard to say who he was rooting for. One other very famous Orlando sports star Tiger Woods, and his wife Elin Nordegren were also seen court-side. A source says when asked which team Woods was rooting for he said plainly “ I am from California” to the disappointment of many locals, and Magic fans.
