Basketballer wins a game with final throw of overtime

Things couldn’t have been any closer in last night’s basketball game between the Houston Rockets and the Portland Trail Blazers: in the final second of overtime (that’s American for “extra time”), the former were winning 99-98. Then, Portland’s Brandon Ray (American for “Barry Raymond”) fired in a thirty-yard-three-pointer as the buzzer (American for “final whistle”) went, stealing a result for his team. It was super awesome (”jolly splendid”).

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?
