Super Bowl Sunday features two early contests before all eyes shift to football. Chris Bosh and the Miami Heat visit the Boston Celtics, while what was once considered to be a marquee matchup takes place between the equally atrocious Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks.
The Lakers/Knicks game was originally scheduled as a Super Sunday matinee on ESPN, but the network decided to pull the game in place of a Chris Paul-hosted celebrity celebrity bowling competition.
