Kobe Bryant, Chris Brown & Lil Romeo: Music Stars To Save L.A. Lakers As Blake Griffin's LA Clippers Become New NBA Kings Of Los Angeles?

Blake Griffin's L.A. Clippers beat the L.A. Lakers, confirming that they are now the NBA kings of Los Angeles, and it appears their superstars, and some music stars, just aren't happy about their poor start to the 2014-15 season. Lil Romeo has insisted that he and Chris Brown are both good enough basketball players, that they could restore some credibility to Kobe Bryant's team, but could the struggling franchise give them a shot to prove their worth? Bryant is frustrated, and at this point, who knows what he will want and not want for his team.

Romeo insisted, "Me and Chris Brown — the two best celebrity hoopers ... I bet if we were on the Lakers they'd be championship contenders."

However, Kobe doesn't believe the Lakers are actually that bad. He explained: "We're not as bad as these two games. We're not. The frustration comes from getting blown out twice. The clutching and grabbing and stuff, I think Byron is trying to lobby to get me some more calls. That stuff never bothered me. I do quite a bit of it myself. I've been trained really well by the Yodas of the world. The thing they've always talked about, just looking at the game, looking at the things you can correct. I talked to him a on the bench a little bit [Wednesday night]. I said, 'You've got to run the offense. Like, I'm telling you to run the offense. You've got to do it."

The Lakers have all kinds of trouble to deal with, but can they keep Kobe happy, and keep celebrity ballers off of their backs?
