The NBA Finals are Coming June 9 – How Far Would You Go for Your Team to Win?
41% of Lavalife® singles polled would streak the game!
New York (PRWEB) June 8, 2005 -- The 2005 NBA Finals will begin on June 9 and
Lavalife
singles said they would go to great lengths to help their favorite basketball
team win. While they may meet security on the other end of the court, 41% of the
2,445 singles polled said they would streak the game to ensure their team was
victorious. 20% wanted their team to win so desperately that they would clean
the entire basketball arena by themselves.
Lavalife Corp. commissioned
three separate surveys to gauge singles sentiments and preferences, generating
over 16,000 responses. Other interesting findings from the online poll, which
was conducted the week of May 2, 2005 during the first round of the NBA
Playoffs, include:
- Star Power: Who’s Your Favorite Celebrity Fan?
Shockingly, an overwhelming number of single men polled would rather see Jack
Nicholson (61%) courtside at a basketball game than the Brazilian hottie Gisele
Bundchen and her superstar sweetie Leonardo DiCaprio (10%). Sexy power couple
Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz garnered 18% of the vote, and Spike Lee,
9%.
- Got Game? 53% of Lavalife singles think the plush surroundings of a
luxury Skybox are the best place to sneak a kiss given the chance while 10% of
the 8,430 singles that responded would be bold enough to make a move in the
stands. You might want to keep an eye on your neighbor – you never know where
you might click!
Forget the arena, The Ultimate Pick-Up Game is coming to
Manhattan just in time for The Finals as Lavalife hosts two NBA Finals
viewing parties thrown exclusively for singles at the world’s only NBA Store on
Fifth Avenue. During these parties, singles will find out if they “got game”
while watching the actual game on TV and enjoying complimentary snacks and
beverages while taking part in Finals-themed icebreakers and saucy halftime
shows. To register, fans must log onto www.lavalife.com/nba or www.nba.com/lavalife.
