Toni Braxton & Ron Artest
Sometimes it seems like the Lakers are intentionally upping the difficulty of their title defense, just to keep things interesting. First, replacing Ariza with Artest. Then, Lamar Odom and the Kardashians. Finally, it looks like Toni Braxton, the only R&B singer that has actively broken up an NBA team, is somehow in the mix as well. She originally caused the Mavs to trade both Jim Jackson and Jason Kidd when they got into a fight over her - what’s going to happen if she’s photographed riding on Andrew Bynum’s shoulders in a few weeks?
