There were no Tom Brady-Kobe Bryant post-game chuckles after the Celtics beat the Lakers in Game 4 to tie the series at 2-2, but Anita Baker's rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" prior to tip-off was enough to almost break Twitter and it surged on Google Trends overnight.


Okay, that wasn't the best version of the national anthem I've ever heard but Baker's performance shouldn't have come as a complete surprise, either. In September 2009 she gave a slightly less horrifying interpretation at a Major League Baseball game.
