If you missed Tuesday night’s Rockets-Lakers game, you didn’t miss much. Kobe Bryant and company demolished Houston 118-78 to take a 3-2 series lead in the NBA Western Conference semifinals. L.A. led by 50 points in the 4th quarter – pathetic. The few fans (and myself) who actually watched the entire game would probably agree: the real action was in the crowd.
The good seats were packed with celebs like Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Dr. Dre, and Flea, who ripped through the national anthem on his bass guitar – kick ass! I enjoyed his performance so much, I added a photo of it to our Celebs Chilling At The NBA Playoffs photo gallery.
I’ll be updating it daily until the playoffs are over, with photos of stars who turn out to cheer on their favorite NBA team (Go Cavs!). Come check it out.
Maybe Shaq was just freestyling, but it may cost him his special deputy’s badge with the police department in Maricopa County.
“I want his two badges back,” Maricopa County Sherriff Joe Arpaio told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “Because if any one of my deputies did something like this, they’re fired. I don’t condone this type of racial conduct.”
Shaq belittled Kobe Bryant in a two minute video, while performing a rapblaming his former Laker teammate for the demise of his marriage.
Shaq has volunteered with the Tempe Police Department after being traded to the Phoenix Suns in February and previously served as a reserve officer with the Miami Beach Police Department while playing for the Miami Heat.
The NBA season is over, but Shaquille O’Neal is providing plenty of off court drama by reigniting his feud with former Lakers teammate Kobe Bryant. In this latest round of the battle, Shaq attacks Kobe in a disparaging rap song that was videotaped at a New York City nightclub on Sunday night. In the two minute video, Shaq blames Kobe for the demise of his five year marriage to soon-to-be-ex wife Shaunie, with whom he has four children. Shaq raps,
“I’m a horse, Kobe ratted me out. That’s why I’m getting divorced. He said Shaq gave a [woman] a mil. I don’t do that ’cause my name’s Shaquille. I love ‘em, I don’t leave ‘em. I got a vasectomy, now I can’t breed ‘em.”
Shaq later told ESPN’s Stephen Smith:
“I was freestyling. That’s all. It was all done in fun. Nothing serious whatsoever. That is what MCs do. They freestyle when called upon. I’m totally cool with Kobe. No issue at all. And by the way, don’t forget, six albums, two platinum, two gold. Anybody who knows me knows I’m a funny freestyler. Check the NBA DVD when I was rapping about Vlade Divac during my first championship run. Please tell everybody don’t make something out of nothing.”
OK, Shaq, you were freestyling, but more importantly, why are you a horse?
A nice juicy divorce rumor was bouncing around the web about basketball star Kobe Bryant, but he’s stuck his big-ass foot out and squashed it before it could even grow. Apparently he and his wife of six years, Vanessa, were headed down the road of Nick and Jessica, with Vanessa possibly getting half of her man’s earnings as no pre-nup was ever signed. Not so, says the Laker star. He told Entertainment Tonight that “he has no idea how the rumors got started because he and Vanessa are happily married”. Um…seriously? I can think of lots of reasons for rumors to get started, with a really horrible one in particular standing out. You know, that Kobe’s like a FOOT taller than his wife. That’s a lot of height, and a TOTALLY understandable reason to split up. That and the whole sex assault/cheating scandal from a few years ago. But not Kobe and his Kim Kardashian-esque wifey! Oh well. If they change their minds in a couple months or years, we won’t hold it against them. [ET. Image: Getty]
