00:00 I'm Jill Painter Lopez for Sports Illustrated, joined by Melissa Rowland.
00:06 And Dr. Anthony Fauci's pick is in.
00:09 To see who he thinks will win the NBA title, who does he have?
00:13 He picked the Lakers.
00:14 Now, he was talking to local Los Angeles media at the time, so he might have been pulling
00:19 up the Lakers for that crowd.
00:22 But that being said, Fauci is one of the most trustworthy faces in the nation.
00:27 He's led the United States through the COVID-19 pandemic.
00:31 He's been the voice of reason and the person who everybody's trusted through this very
00:35 scary time.
00:36 So him picking the Lakers holds some weight.
00:39 Melissa, I think he's a fan too, since he's from Southern California.
00:43 So he may be a little bit biased, but I'm going to go with Fauci as well.
00:46 Yeah, and he used to play basketball, so he should know a thing or two about who has the
00:50 best chance at winning the NBA championship this season.
