Following in the footsteps of Idols' past, Kris Allen sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" prior to the start of tonight's Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Orlando Magic. Watch the performance below:
Kris did alright, especially considering the Anthem really isn't his style and it sounds better on some people than others. He did, however, do a much better job than David Cook did at last year's Game 3 of the NBA Finals. As good a singer as Cook is, that was not one of his shining moments.
Kris and Cook were not the only Idol winners to sing in person at an NBA Finals game, as Taylor Hicks did the honors in 2007 for Game 4 and Jordin Sparks sang the S-SB at Game 1 the same year. Kelly Clarkson sang live from overseas on a USO Tour back in 2006.
