VIDEO: American Idol Kris Allen Sings Star Spangled Banner Before Lakers Game

The Orlando Magic should ask Kris Allen how to handle being a massive underdog to a Los Angeles powerhouse.

The Arkansas singer, who overcame tremendous odds to beat favored LaLa native Adam Lambert on the top-rated talent show, pumped up the crowd prior to Sunday's NBA Finals game between the Magic and Los Angeles Lakers with a spirited rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.

As for the Magic, after falling into 0-2 series hole in an overtime loss -- well, they might not want to print up too many championship t-shirts!
