American rents out stadium on night of huge basketball match
WWE owner Vince McMahon has challenged Arsenal’s majority shareholder Stan Kroenke to a steel cage match after an embarrassing scheduling screw-up.
Kroenke owns the NBA team Denver Nuggets, who are scheduled to face the LA Lakers in a home Western Conference final match next Monday. However, Kroenke Sports Enterprises agreed last August to rent out the Pepsi Center to the WWE for their televised Raw show - an arrangement that was confirmed last month with no escape clause.
As Gabriele Marcotti in The Times points out, it’s the equivalent of Arsenal
David Beckham is addicted to watching the LA Lakers from his richly coveted courtside seat, so much so that he’s started going to games on his own. Here he is having lots of fun at the Lakers’ recent home game against the Sacramento Kings.
Translation: David Beckham is addicted to public attention, and knows he gets much more by sitting in his richly coveted Lakers courtside seat than by playing for the useless Galaxy. He also gets to ogle the Lakers’ shapely cheerleaders, much to his wife’s annoyance.
Come on Becks, we all know you have less than zero interest in the NBA. You’re only there to be seen.

Underdressed women divert Mr B’s attention from the LA Lakers
Poor old David Beckham. Whenever he goes to basketball games, hordes of cheerleaders start parading their wares right in front of his eyes. When the Portland Trail Blazers visited the Staples Center on Tuesday, Becks couldn’t help but take a peek at the LA Lakers hotpanted troupe.
The Daily Mail - who seem to have single-handidly hate-mongered Russell Brand out of a job - refer to Becks as a ‘rubbernecker’ and an ‘ogler’, but there are attractive women in tiny outfits literally standing right in front of him. Would any man (or woman) in the world be able to resist looking?
Over in Americaland, the Boston Celtics and the LA Lakers are currently battling it out in the NBA finals. The Californians won the third game last night, perhaps because Boston’s Sam Cassell over-exerted himself in the warm up. Thanks to Shankar, who also spotted a world class Cassell luggage adjustment.
NBA forward unnecessarily thrilled about receiving free garment
American netball fans are currently engrossed in the NBA Finals, where Kevin Garnett’s Boston Celtics are attempting to throw more balls into some small elevated hoops than the LA Lakers. As a reward for his outstanding defensive performances this season, Garnett was treated to a personalised shirt courtesy of Europe’s second most successful team.
Even though it’s a small gesture for a well paid sportsman, it’s great to see Garnett react with childlike excitement. It’s probably the same bounding enthusiasm that Jermain Defoe expresses when he bursts open the doors of Chinawhite to see a gaggle of scantily-clad Big Brother rejects. Bless.
American superhero makes the hardest moves look so easy
When he’s not enjoying some time on the basketball court or taking time out from a hectic schedule to defend himself in court, LA Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant likes to
