The Real MVP of the NBA Finals: One Laptop
The Celtics' Paul Pierce hits a jumper and the points go up on the scoreboard. Simple, right? Hardly.

After all, the NBA finals are covered in 205 countries and in 46 languages, and streamed to 24 countries worldwide, and they all want this data instantly. But how does the NBA record that information? A proprietary digital alert system? A network of computers using custom realtime operating systems?
