David Cook's not only slam-dunked a win as this year's Idol, but now he's bouncing his way to the Staples Center parquet to perform at Game 3 of the NBA finals. The June 10 performance will be Cook's first at a major sporting event (but probably not his last).
Cook's upcoming game-night appearance upholds an ongoing NBA-
Idol tradition in which each year's new
AI winner takes the mic during the NBA finals in June. In previous years, Cook's predecessors Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, and Jordin Sparks have all performed during the basketball face-off. Here's hoping that Cook's recent victory will bode well for Boston following his arena serenade.
