>> dicky: from hollywood it's "jimmy kimmel live: game night." tonight, jimmy talks to kids about basketball and nba stars lamarcus aldridge and greg oden face off against evan turner and andre iguodala. and now, here's jimmy kimmel! >> jimmy: he's right. here i am. behind my desk and welcome to our "game night" special, tonight game three of the nba finals between the dallas mavericks and the miami heat from the american airlines center where the mavericks play which is not to be confused with the american airlines arena in miami where the heat play. unbelievable, this american airlines they have two arenas, we can't get one bag of peanuts out of them. the mavericks are happy to be at home. yeah, home court advantage is a

funny thing. ultimately you're playing the same game. the court is the same, the baskets are the same but you do get an edge because you're more comfortable at home. you get to sleep in your own bed, the fans are rooting for you. even the announcers in the arena, when you're at home you get a big introduction but when you're on the road, for instance -- well, this is how lebron james gets introduced in dallas. >> at forward, for the miami heat, a man who stomped on the hearts of millions in believe land for his own special gain, from st. vincent st. mary's high school. he didn't go to college because he can't read. number 6-6-6-lebron james. >> jimmy: see i happen to know for a fact that he can read. this is a big series for lebron james and not just for the obvious reasons. the obvious reasons. winning an nba title is a chance to prove that you're one of the great players of all time and not only that, whoever wins series mvp is awarded the kardashian of their choice, so --

[ laughter ] scottie pippen who used to play alongside michael jordan said he thinks lebron might be the greatest player of all time. he said michael jordan was the greatest scorer of all time, which is -- i don't know what's going on with pippen, but that's ridiculous. everyone knows the best scorer of all-time was teen wolf. he had girlfriend named boof so end of argument right there. the dallas mavericks have a lot of veteran players. they were the oldest team in the playoffs this year. and, you know, it's a lot harder to jump when your shorts are filled with silver dollars and hard candy, so -- [ laughter ] the mavericks are so old that if the series ends in miami they're planning to just stay there and live out their remaining days. it's funny listening to the announcers talk about how old these guys are and realizing that every one of them is at least five years younger than i am. i've been watching a lot of the pre and post game analysis of the series. it's very important to watch this stuff, so you know what to feel and how to think. but i'll be honest. i miss charles barkley. charles barkley is a lot of fun to watch. so, to inject a bit of charles

into this series, we took the audio from his show "inside the nba" and combined it with video from the cartoon "fat albert" and the results speak for themselves. >> hey, i'm going to tell you something. women be milking that baby thing too. >> ya'll okay. hey charles. >> it can't be nearly as bad as playing a basketball game with a sprained ankle. >> chris. >> i'm telling you. >> hey, chuck -- why you never buy your woman a watch? >> because there's a clock on the stove. [ applause ] >> jimmy: is it me or is mush mouth even mushier than ever? one of my favorite personal stories of this series is the story of mavericks guard jason terry and his tattoo. you know, back in october, he decided to get a tattoo of the larry o'brien trophy, but there's a good chance the mavericks won't win the nba finals, in which case they wouldn't get that trophy. somebody asked him about it.

he said, if they don't win, he will have it removed. the arm, not the tattoo. he will have the arm removed, he may as well. i can tell you from personal experience with a huge tweety bird i had done on my chest, that getting a tattoo removed is a long and painful process. what i would do is if the mavericks don't win the title, i would have the artist turn the trophy of the larry o'brien into a portrait of vin deeiesel. they're not too far off are they? they should cast the trophy as the lead in "fast and furious 6" to see if anyone notices. a lot of players have tattoos. you may remember a few years back, maybe like ten years back, nba commissioner david stern was concerned that the tattoos were off putting to fans watching the games. now though he said he thinks it's a phase kind of like facial hair and afros in the '70s that they'll get through and he seems to have embraced that phase with open arms. >> is there any question in your mind this has been a good thing? >> you know, the reason we're sked yuchling the meeting tomorrow is, we told the players

and the owners to bring their negotiating talents to south beach. >> jimmy: now you know, if you got it, mraunt it. i'm wondering while we're on the topic of tattoos, no one knows more about that subject than mike tyson. you know, he kind of has one on his face. i don't know if you noticed it. but here now to share his thoughts on the well inked members of the nba, it is "tattoo time with mike tyson." ♪ >> oh, oh. welcome back to "tattoo time with mike tyson." i'm mike tyson. let's talk about tattoos together. stephen jackson, a very peculiar tattoo with clasped prayer hands with a gun pointed at his nipple. he's looking as if he's trying to get a piercing very painfully. i strongly believe there weren't guns in the bible. but then again, we all must stay god conscious, even if we're thugs.

next! this is the snowboarder dude. shaun white, right? no. robert swift. what the -- is wrong with him? i know larry bird must be dying looking at all these white guys get all marked up like this. wow. next! jimmy kimmel. now that's a tattoo. that's a manly tattoo. that's classy. i love you. oopsy, that's all the time we i'm iron mike tyson with "tattoos with tyson." ♪ >> jimmy: when i was a young boy, i always dreamed that one day mike tyson was kiss me on the back, and now it's finally happened. hey, we have a fun show for you tonight. later on members of the portland trailblazers and philadelphia 76ers go head to head to head to head in a tournament of friendship that we call the

teammating game. and when we come back, i'll it is down with kids to talk basketball. so stick around. blueshirt: hey america, it's summer. and just because you're on the go, doesn't mean you can't stay connected. whatever you're thinking of doing this year... ... we'll help you find the perfect device to make it better. we'll set it up, get you streaming and even show you how to use it. which means you'll spend less time fiddling with it... ... and more time using it.

be a superstar in the nba, you have to have a sports drink endorsement. it's the law now. and players are getting younger every year. so, in order to prepare some up and comers for stardom, i sat down with a group of kids to audition them to be in a commercial for a pickle flavored drink called "basketball juice." >> jimmy kimmel and the kids. starring the pied piper of television, jimmy kimmel and kidz. >> jimmy: have you ever done a commercial before. >> uh, no. >> jimmy: well you're perfect for this then because you're untarnished. this is called basketball juice. it's a new drink, okay? >> uh-huh. >> jimmy: so what i'd like you to do is hold this up to the camera and pretend you're doing a commercial and talk about how good it is. >> it makes you stronger and it makes really good energy for you i think and it really helps you run really faster.

>> jimmy: uh-huh. and now i want you to take a big drink of that and tell everybody how it tastes and what it tastes like. >> it's kind of good. >> jimmy: what does it taste like? >> tastes like a pickle. >> jimmy: kind of tastes like a pickle? do you know why it does? >> because it has a pickle inside it. >> jimmy: yeah, that's why. that would be a good thing for you to say. hold up a bottle at the camera and go, "basketball juice." it comes with a pickle inside. >> this is basketball juice, it comes with a pickle inside. >> basketball juice! >> it comes with a pickle inside. >> jimmy: talk a little bit more about the basketball juice and how much healthier you are as a result of it and how fast it makes you run and how high it makes you jump. >> it makes me jump ten feet high. >> jimmy: put it on your head. put it right on top of your head while you talk. go ahead. >> it makes me run faster.

>> jimmy: balance it on your head. perfect. and i love it on my head. >> and i like it on my head. >> jimmy: and sometimes i wash my hair with it. >> and sometimes i wash my hair with it. >> jimmy: and it's better than water. >> and it's better than water. >> jimmy: and i wish the ocean was filled with basketball juice. >> and i wish the ocean was filled with basketball juice. >> basketball juice! >> it makes me run faster. >> jimmy: action. >> my name is sarah. >> my name is jacob. >> and these are basketball -- this is a basketball juice. and this is an awesome drink. >> jimmy: and what does it make you do? >> it makes me shoot baskets. >> jimmy: does it make your teeth fall out? >> sometimes it makes your teeth fall out. >> basketball juice! >> sometimes it makes your teeth fall out. >> jimmy: i'm not feeling love from you on the basketball juice right now.

i'm feeling like you don't love the basketball juice. really tell me how much you love it. okay, go ahead. >> i love basketball juice. >> jimmy: see, now, that's what i was looking for right there. very good. >> basketball juice! >> i love it. >> i'm benjamin and i'm here for for basketball juice. it's so good. >> jimmy: if you drink it you'll learn to speak spanish. >> yes. >> jimmy: go ahead and say that. >> if you drink it you'll learn to speak spanish. >> jimmy: now open it up and take a drink. and just really smile and say how much you love it. >> i love it. love it. >> jimmy: all right, we're going to send this tape to the basketball juice people and hopefully they'll like it. >> hopefully? >> jimmy: we're going to have to cut that part where you almost threw up out. >> yeah. >> jimmy: but otherwise i think it was really, really good. welcome to the basketball juice family.
