Lakers and Celtics Foursquare Badges

2010 NBA Finals Foursquare Badges

As the Los Angeles Lakers face elimination today in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, this may be your last chance to collect one of these limited time Foursquare badges.

You can unlock the 2010 NBA Finals Los Angeles Lakers or Boston Celtics Foursquare badge by shouting “Go Lakers!” or “Go Celtics!” when checking in to any venue. Upon doing so you will be rewarded with one of the following messages:

• Stand up! You’ve unlocked the Celtics badge for showing your Boston pride. Watch the Celtics take on the Lakers in The Finals 2010 on ABC! “Go Celtics!”
• Stand up! You’ve unlocked the Lakers badge for showing your L.A. pride. Watch the Lakers take on the Celtics in The Finals 2010 on ABC! “Go Lakers!”

Unsure who you are cheering for? You can indeed earn both badges by shouting “Go Lakers!” and “Go Celtics!” at the same time.

This is where I would have really liked Foursquare to limit your choice to only one badge. Foursquare could have checked if you previously unlocked a Los Angeles Lakers or Boston Celtics badge so you would not be awarded the other.
