>> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live! game night," presented by skype, with david spade and nba stars jeremy lin and roy hibbert. and now here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hello, and welcome. i'm jimmy kimmel. no, you did not go unconscious and wake up after midnight. tonight we are in primetime, for the first of what could be up to seven "game night" specials. but let's hope not because i am very lazy. if you're watching from the eastern half of the country, the game is about to start. if you're watching in the west, it's over. if you're in central or mountain time, i think they're showing a rerun of "george lopez" right now, so, hola. after a season that looked like it might not happen at all, the

nba finals are upon us again tonight -- game one between the miami heat and the oklahoma city thunder, from chesapeake energy arena. here's an interesting tidbit -- this is the first nba finals series ever played between two teams with no "s" at the end of s. usually it's the lakers, , pace spurs. it's plural. but this one is the heat and the thunder, or, as your dad will say it, the heats and the thunders. the first no-"s" finals in nba history. no "s," really. so, that's exciting. i always dreamed that this day would come. the heat are led by three-time mvp lebron james. the thunder have three-time scoring champion kevin durant. two warriors, but only one will walk away with a ring, unless they get gay-married, in which case they can share, at least. this is gonna be an interesting series. did you know there's a three-pointer now? you get an extra point if you're far enough back. one of the best things about the nba is a lot of the players are on twitter. nba players tweet more than

athletes from any other sport. that's a fact i made up this afternoon. at the end of the season, some of them wind up with more tweets s gonna read some of my favorites tonight, but then i had an even better idea. why read them when we can get a children's choir in here to sing them for us? and with that said, here now, with a tweet from kevin durant of the oklahoma city thunder, the "jimmy kimmel live!" children's choir. take it away, kids. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ we got company comes over ♪ would it cull you to put some pants on ♪ >> jimmy: no, i don't think it would. [ cheers and applause ] that seems like a request that shouldn't have to be made via tweet, doesn't it? the heat beat the celtics in game seven on saturday to earn their spot in the finals after the game. an emotional lebron james had an intimate chat with celtics coach doc rivers. it was noisy on the court, but they were able to use one of those microphones that looks like a ray gun. and if you listen closely, you can make most of what they're saying out. >> i have to say, coach, you

smell really good tonight, really good. may i ask -- what is that fragrance? >> fancy nights by jessica simpson. >> fancy nights? that's delightful. >> jimmy: that was a nice plug for jessica simpson and fancy nights. [ applause ]ther you like to he song from the "jimmy kimmel live!"

larry bird stole an inbound pass, threw it to dennis johnson, who made a last-second, game-winning shot. in a lot of ways, th changed the game forever, but see if you notice some of the celebrities in the crowd at the end of this clip. >> here's a disparity in the call. they're gonna give the ball to detroit. bird steals it! johnson! layup, boston, one second left! [ chee [ cheers and applause ] he second left, bird steals it buzzerjohnson at the buzzer. >> jimmy: that was -- [ applause ] they've been around for a long time. also a great moment in lip gloss. and one more thing -- considering how popular basketball is, it's surprising that there aren't more songs about it. you have that song by kurtis blow, "playing at basketball."l from "space jam," which is kind of about basketball, and that's about it. so, tonight we invited one of the great athletes and one of the great singers of our generation, mr. michael tyson, to come up with a song. and this is his tribute to lebron james of the miami heat. enjoy. ♪

"l.a. phonies!" " you know? then we sit down, and i'm -- chris rock's a little bit of an l.a. phony. i keep it real. eah. >> i'm doing fist bumps and making it rain and doing all that cool stuff. and they like that. and then we sit down there, right -- i mean, i can't believe how good they were 'cause we just sat rig and then the dude next to me --

we were starving from work, so i go, "dude," 'cause i'm such a [ bleep ]. i go, "hey, man, can you score us some food? do they have food down here?" he goes, "i think so." and i go, "can you kind of maybe go snag us some?" he goes, "well, i'm the owner of the celtics." and i go, "oh, my god, aah. oh, so you're hooked up. so, maybe two cheeseburgers." like, i didn't even take a beat. i was like, "no, dude, we're starving." so, it wound up being good. but, you know, it's hard to root for them because everyone knows -- >> jimmy: oh, yeah, well, you're a phoenix suns fan, right? >> yeah, 'cause i grew up in scottsdale, so i like the suns. and then i moved to l.a., and then i'm kind of a fake fan there. no one believes it. and then i'm really fake fan in boston. and then rock's from -- he's, like, the knicks. so, it's fun, and people don't realize you just want to see a game. it's fun. but it wound up being a good time. and then i got the food and then i'm like this and then the ball hit us, of course. and i'm like, "err." and rock -- rock's cool the whole time, in case an happens. and he gets the ball, and he's like spin on his finger, sends it back, and i'm like -- got corn dog falling out. >> jimmy: that's the food you got from the owner of the team. well, that was karma that hit

you in the face, is what happened. hey, by the was. congratulations. i was a getting a mani-pedi and flipping through "star" magazine. >> "star" -- they nailed it finally. >> jimmy: you really -- i mean, you know, a lot of these magazines are insulting, but this one -- [ laughter ] that's you -- >> me and brad pitt, exactly. >> jimmy: -- and your brother, brad pitt. >> yeah. it's about time. [ applause ] >> jimmy: finally somebody recognized. >> it's funny because, obviously, brad's been in sort of a tailspin since that came out, but -- [ laughter ]ughter ] they're sort of nice. they do manage to kick me in the balls a little bit. they're like, "eh, 'joe dirt,' and he's a crass comedian" and "p "poor brad" and those kind of things. but i was stoked about it. so, i'm happy. >> jimmy: of course. >> i know, a little bit, brad pitt, tiny bit from the old days. and so -- it's funny 'cause he did "moneyball" when we were doing our show at sony. so, i was sort of scared tse i talk to him 'cause i knew him a little bit. and it was weird 'cause like nine people thought i was shiloh, but -- just walking around the set. >> jimmy: right. >> they go, "oh, he's in there." i go, "no, no, i'm not with him. i'm over here."

and so i finald i get overly ne, and i get overly nervous. and i'm like, "bradley," you know, right away. like, it's kind of gross. and then i probably fist bump him and rain, and he doesn't like that. and then i -- so, i get overly cool. i'm like, "hey, man, how's, uh -- how's the fam? how's a-bomb doing?" [ laughter ] and he's like, "i'm sorry?" and i go, "a-train. she's cool, so -- ange? angie? nothing? angelina jolie, the woman you live with -- how is she?" and he's like, "oh, yeah, her. yeah, no, she doesn't remember you." >> jimmy: he responded well to that. >> yeah, he finally got. he's like, "oh --" >> jimmy: did you discuss this photograph with him? 'cause i got to tell you something, and i'm being honest here -- i think you actually look better than he does in this picture. >> oh, my god, yeah, jimmy. >> jimmy: you really do because his hair's a little too long, and, i mean, you really look a little more sculpted there. >> that was so long -- i don't even know when that picture was, but that would take a 30-hour photo shoot to nail one. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i know you're doing some shows in las vegas in august, right? >> yeah, i still do the venetian, yeah. and once the movie's over, i'll go back.

i like it because -- first of all, it's funny because everyone is married there, and some of them cheat -- oh! >> jimmy: in las vegas? >> yeah, i mean, it's supposed to stay there, but that kind of went away. but this table next to me is all dudes, all pre-cheating at dinner. and the funny thing is when the girls -- >> jimmy: what does that mean? >> well, they're about to. >> jimmy: oh, pre-cheating, okay. >> and when they get there, i hear them talking, and i go, "this is gonna go south." and then a girl comes up. and they're all married, but the way they say they're married -- like, if you're the girl. ask me. i'm the guy. so, just -- 'cause they get curious. the girls get a little fishy after awhile. >> jimmy: are you married? >> yeah.
