2008 NBA Playoffs Travel: Celebrities Flock to the Staples Center
It's that time of the year again. You know, when NBA ballers actually start playing up to their potential--and their mega-sized paychecks--in the quest for the blinged-out championship ring.
And when the NBA playoffs kick into high gear, so do the celebrities who score courtside seats to see their favorite hometown boys take the court.
We were lucky (unlucky?) enough to get prime seats at the Staples Center for the first game of the series between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets. The Lakers always have a celeb crowd and Kobe Bryant is practically a god to deluded Angelenos, but the playoffs really kick the pretty people into high gear.
