Lakers? What Lakers? Justin Bieber is all about his BFF Jayden Smith and the cheerleaders
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Ladies man: Justin Bieber sat courtside at the Lakers game last night lapping up the attention of the attractive cheerleaders
What's the point in sitting courtside if you don't even want to watch the game? Teen singing sensation Justin Bieber had some of the best seats in the house at last night's Lakers game, but he didn't seem bothered about catching any of the on-court action.
Instead, the 16-year-old was fully engrossed in his new best friend, Will Smith's son Jayden, and in the spirit of any teenage boy, the pretty cheerleaders sitting around them.

Bieber joined an all star audience to watch the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team receive their championship rings and then go on to beat the Houston Rockets 112-110 at the Staples Centre.
It was a nail-biting game which went to the wire with the Lakers shooting a three point basket at the buzzer to win. Not that Bieber seemed to no

The boys seemed to be having a ball, laughing and joking with each other and mingling amongst the other celebrities within the packed stadium.
And ever the little performers, the two boys were sure to keep the audience entertained during breaks.
They were seen busting out some moves on the court and Bieber even shot some hoops much to the delight of the youngsters in the crowd.

During one break Justin spent time chatting with football legend and LA Galaxy player David Beckham who has become a regular courtside at Lakers home games. David, 35, looked happy and relaxed as he chatted to the young star.
Just the night before David and his wife Victoria had taken his three sons, Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 5, to see Justin in concert.
The family watched the show from a private box, and looked like they were having the time of their lives with the three boys decked out in Bieber merchandise.

And Beckham's boys are obviously big Bieber fans, especially middle son, Romeo. The footballer rang into Ryan Seacrest's KIIS FM show this morning and revealed that the eight-year-old is planning on dressing-up as the singer for Halloween!
And David also got to talk to a Hollywood heavyweight during the game - actor Denzel Washington.
David and Denzel, 55, chatted and shared jokes during the game which was the first of the new 2010/2011 season.
While David was getting his sport viewing fix, Victoria Beckham, 36, was attending the 2010 Women's Conference where she listened to speakers including Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, Oprah and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
