Jayne Kamin-Oncea/US PresswireWhen it comes to his NBA fandom, the Biebs is all about Kobe and the Lake Show.
For Justin Bieber, there's only one stage bigger than the one he performs on: the basketball court.
Bieber, who just won the American Music Award for Artist of the Year, showed off some of his hardwood skills during the 2011 NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles.
Fans named the lefty the MVP in the celebrity game after he finished with eight points, four assists and two rebounds.
"He's got a nice little game," ESPN NBA analyst Chris Mullin, a fellow southpaw, said afterward. "But more importantly, he's got great passion. It looked like he loves the game."
This year, 2K Sports took notice of that passion and invited Bieber to take part in motion capture at the Visual Concepts studio in California as part of the development for NBA 2K13.
Bieber headlines the game's first-ever celebrity team, which also includes entertainers Brian Baumgartner, Chamillionaire, Pauly D, Sean Kingston, Meek Mill, Mac Miller, J.B. Smoove, Vinny, Wale and Bow Wow.
A few days ago, ESPN Playbook had a chance to catch up with Bieber, who's in the middle of his "Believe" tour, to talk hoops and NBA 2K13.
How long have you been an NBA fan, and what team do you root for?
Eighteen years, from the womb. L.A. Lakers.
