Stoke was already leading by a score of 3-0 at the time, and they would hold on to win by the same score.  Here is a look at the incident.

I can picture it already.  As Usain Bolt crosses the finish line, breaking yet another world record, the reporters rush to hear what he has to say.  The first question asked of the speedy Jamaican is “What do you have to say about your latest accomplishment?”  That is when Bolt replies, “I would just like to thank Nike and McDonalds for providing my feet with the perfect shoe.  Now if you will all please excuse me.  My lunch is getting squished and sweaty.”

Hopefully this will not be yet another opportunity that Nike misses out on.

With Ariza having moved on to Houston after winning an NBA championship ring with the Lakers last year (which he received last night), and Artest hoping to get one of his own this year playing alongside Kobe Bryant, the two were in the spotlight and did manage to provide some entertainment.

Getting under the skin of the opposition is nothing new to Artest, and rather than going at one of his former teammates, he went at the man who took his spot in the Houston line-up.  Early in the first quarter, with the play in the Rockets end, Ariza lost his shoe in the key, and just as he went to retrieve it, Artest grabbed it off the floor and tossed it into the stands.  That gave the Lakers just enough time to collect a defensive rebound (after the Rockets had failed on a fast-break opportunity of their own), take the ball down the court, and hit a three-pointer.

That play put the Lakers up 9-2, but in the end it would be Ariza who would get the last laugh as he left the arena with the championship ring, and the 101-91 victory.
