San Antonio, Cleveland Mayors Wager On NBA Finals

CLEVELAND (AP) ― Mayor Jackson vs. Mayor Hardberger doesn't have the same ring as LeBron James vs. Tim Duncan.

But the leaders of Cleveland and San Antonio are going one-on-one with a wager on the NBA finals.

San Antonio Mayor Phil Hardberger will send 24 tamales and a case of Alamo Golden Ale to Cleveland if the Cavaliers win.

"In the unlikely event the Spurs win the championship," Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson said in a news release Tuesday, he'll give Hardberger a case of Ohio City Pasta, a case of Hot Sauce Williams ribs, a bottle of Williams' special sauce and a case of Great Lakes Brewing Co.'s Burning River Pale Ale.

Game 1 of the NBA finals is Thursday in San Antonio.

The Spurs are going for their fourth championship in nine years after winning titles in 1999, 2003 and 2005. The Cavaliers are making their first finals appearance in the franchise's 37-year history.
