Answer: today’s dazed L.A. Lakers (defending world champs) were torpedoed, blown up and sunk by the Miami Heat, 96-80. The victors were lead by LaBron James, of Miami’s Big Three, who racked up a triple-double and covered Kobe Bryant like a wet blanket left out in Southern California’s torrential rains of the past week. All shown in living Hi-Def on ABC-TV, the Los Angeles Times reported, “A lot of people paid a lot of money for tickets, with face value as high as $900 for non-courtside seats.”
See, I have attended Lakers games. During the 1960s through 80s the brightest entertainment workers from the area paid a few extra dollars for courtside seats. That was before digital cameras equipped transmitted images immediately to headquarters and those in this Age of Celebrity, to whom these Lakers home games offer more photo ops than the jump shots. Below, all taken from a Times picture gallery, including some of today's Christmas 2010 game, is a selection of Hollywood behind the scenes—uh, or another stage altogether, the world famous Staples Center. (These photos were not used with written permission; I welcome any Cease & Desist Orders, which could garner more his than a million bucks in tiny Google ads.)
