Photos of the Week: Bieber, mini Chris Paul, sideline antics

Published On December 28, 2012 | By Jill Saftel

What do you get when you combine playful members of the LA Clippers, Justin Bieber, and a mini Chris Paul? This post.

The Celtics might have been somber after getting beaten pretty badly by the Clippers Thursday night, but there were some pretty funny antics going on over at the LA sideline as Deandre Jordan and Caron Butler spotted the camera. The following are the results of mischievous Clippers players and a willing camera.

Hey Griffin, not so photogenic? We’ll leave the dunking to you and let your teammates focus on the bench photoshoot.

Meanwhile, the photo magic continued on the other side of the court as Justin Bieber took in the game with Paul’s three-year-old son Christopher. I might not be a Bieber fan or a Clippers fan, but no one can resist a court-side toddler.

Bieber tweeted to Chris Paul after the game, “yo @CP3 your kid is the man!! haha. u killed ’em tonight. good seeing u.” Paul replied, “You have NO clue the smile that you put on lil Chris face 2nite…really appreciate you man!! He does not know what to do lol.”

In other adorable Twitter news, Houston Texans’ Arian Foster replied to a tweet from a fan including a get-well card drawn by his daughter. Foster returned to practice this week after an illness turned out to be an irregular heartbeat.
