Justin Timberlake high-fived Kobe, and then gave him a pat on the ass after clutch shot (Pictures)

Crap like this is one of the thousands of reasons why people hate the Lakers. How many other teams have players getting pats on the asses from Justin Timberlake during games? Only one. The Lakers really are a Hollywood team.

Even though we’re making fun, Kobe must be recognized for knocking down a heck of a shot. The shot Timberlake was celebrating came after Arron Afflalo hit a 3 to make it a five-point game with 1:08 left. Kobe responded with a sick three-pointer despite having a hand in his face to make the lead eight again with 48 seconds left. Those were Kobe’s only points of the quarter, but he made them count.
