'Idol' winner Kris Allen to perform at NBA finals

NEW YORK (AP) - June 5, 2009 Allen is scheduled to sing the national anthem Sunday before Game 2 of the National Basketball Association finals on ABC. The Los Angeles Lakers have a 1-0 lead over the Orlando Magic.

Having "American Idol" winners sing during the basketball championship series has become something of a tradition. Every winner has done it, with the exception of Fantasia.

Allen won the "Idol" crown last month over Adam Lambert.
