  • The 2010 NBA Finals… Lakers vs. Celtics! (Belated Coverage)

    More pics to come!  I will be updating this as time becomes available to cover games 2, 6, & 7.  It’s going to be picture overload!

    All pictures are taken by me.  I try to capture as much as a I can before, during, and after the game.  Most of the pics will be of the celeb scene, because hey, it’s LA!  Some of the big stars aren’t pictured because they enter through an underground tunnel from the Nokia Theatre side.

    I thought it was record producer Damon Dash (Roc-a-fella Records), but after comparing mug shots, now I’m not so sure.  Anyone know who this is?

    This guy (black t-shirt) is at every Lakers game with four corner courtside seats with all the rappers.  I finally learned his name… record producer Polow da Don

    The most mysterious and intriguing Laker fan of all… the short Asian lady that sits courtside next to Jack Nicholson.  There’s even Facebook club dedicated to her mystery!

    Spiderman!  I think that’s Archbishop Cardinal Roger Mahony with the white envelope.  The combover and ears match his pics.  I wonder where he got his tickets from… hmmmmm…

    Adam Levine (Maroon 5), literally ran over this hottie because he was fast walking to the door.  I don’t think she realized who bumped into her.  Anthony Kiedis (Red Hot Chili Peppers).

    This dude was walking the halls with his boys during halftime and no one knew who he was.  I passed them once, then 10 minutes later I see this fat little 12 year old white kid go up and get his autograph.  In my no shame moment of the day, I went to ask the kid who that was.  He says, “That’s John Wall!”  I felt so stupid.  Of course I know who John Wall is!  Consensus #1 pick in this year’s NBA Draft out of Kentucky.  Two days later he signed a $25 million dollar shoe deal with Reebok and three weeks later he was drafted #1 by the Washington Wizards.  He’s only a couple of inches taller than me and he’s super skinny.  And he’s going to be the best guard in the NBA for the next 10 years?

    This was the view from my seat.  HOLY SMACK!   I saw the two guys in front of me and they looked familiar… NO FRICKIN’ WAY!  I’M SITTING RIGHT BEHIND KELLY SLATER!

    Kelly Slater was hella cool.  It was like watching the game with my boys because we were complaining to each other the whole game about the ref calls.  Only one of us has been with Pam Anderson, Cameron Diaz, Bar Rafaeli, and Gisele Bundchen.  After the game him and his friend shook my hand when they left.  After I looked that ish up on the computer at home, all I could think was… I shook the hand that touched the boob of…   ha ha ha. 

    Games 6 & 7 still to come!
