Rappers Lil Wayne and Kanye West were spotted kicking it courtside on Christmas Day (Sun. Dec 25) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles as the Lakers took on the Chicago Bulls in their first home game of the season.

Yeezy spent the Holiday courtside with his father Ray West, while Weezy, a known sports enthusiast, brought along his girlfriend Dhea to watch the game with him.

Other celebs spotted at the game were rocker Adam Levine and his supermodel girflriend Anne Vyalitsyana, as well as comedian George Lopez and rapper Snoop Dogg (not pictured).

ORLANDO, FLORIDA // TUESDAY, JULY 8TH 2008 » There’s some good news and some bad news…which one do you want first? Good News! The Chicago Bulls defeated the Indiana Pacers yesterday by 5 points (89-84), but Derrick Rose‘s performance was almost identical to his first debut in the pro league.

Derrick Rose shot only 2/9 baskets successfully scoring only 9 points in the whole game. I guess the injury he’s suffering from is putting a strain on his game. He did manage to get 7 assists. Derrick Rose sat out the entire 4th quarter of the game because of it. I’m still waiting for D-Rose to dominate. Rose talked about his knee after the game:

“Of course I wanted to push the ball a little more and run and get everybody else involved and I was able to do that,” Rose said. “[The knee] is fine. I just jammed it a little bit and I should be all right. They had to sit me out because I hurt my knee. I wanted to get back in, but they just told me to sit back down. When I made my last layup, I jump-stopped and I landed a little too hard on it.”

The next game is against the Orlando Magic. Maybe D-Rose will show us..next time.

MAITLAND, FLORIDA // MONDAY, JULY 7TH 2008 » The top two NBA draft picks, Derrick Rose & Michael Beasley, played against one another yesterday in the 2008 NBA Pro Summer League and Michael Beastly proved he has what it take to step it up in the pro league. Although, this was only a summer league debut it looks at whose gonna be the most worthy and valuable to each team. Michael Beasley out shined the first draft pick known as D-Rose and took the first win in Round 1 of the Summer League games. Beasley scored 28 points in his first game, helping his team, to win and lead the game (94-70).

Although, Mike Beasley soared his first game in the mix of the league games, he’s still modestly hard on himself:

“[I] Could have played better,” Beasley said. “[I] Could have got a couple more assists, made a couple extra passes, got a couple more rebounds, could have got a couple stops early on.”

Derrick Rose, of course, had his shining moments but he never took over the game offensively they way he should’ve (being first draft pick and all). D-Rose finished with 10 points, 4 assists and 5 rebounds. Derrick Rose fell short yesterday but is preparing for the next game:

“We didn’t win,” Rose said, “so I think I played horrible. But tomorrow’s a new day.”

I hope D-Rose shows us what he’s got because I know he has skills and I’m a Chicago native so he needs to punch the gas next time. I’m looking forward to seeing more these two in the near future. Check out the video + photos below.

(IMAGES: GETTY IMAGES) A chicago-native basketball player, Derrick Rose, got the number one draft pick in the past 2008 NBA Draft to play for the Chicago Bulls. He’s only a freshman getting recognized by the NBA. He played for the Memphis Tigers in the NCAA. Derrick Rose didn’t show no shyness away from being picked first in the NBA Draft:

“I’m so competitive. I always have that little thing in my mind that I want to be number one.”

Congrats to D. Rose for making to the league and that shows you anyone can achieve their dream if the strive hard! I’m personally happy for him and can’t wait to see him on court doing his thing at the United Center next year.
