Celebs Tap Into Lakers-Celtics NBA Finals Spirit

Just about every Los Angeles Lakers game is a celeb-studded affair, but when the Boston Celtics come to town -- and for the NBA Finals, no less -- it's something special, and the stars know it.

Aside from the usual fixtures, like Jack Nicholson and Steven Spielberg, Hollywood's finest were in attendance, including Kourtney Kardashian, Sylvester Stallone, Hillary Swank, Ice Cube and 'Grown Ups' stars Chris Rock, David Spade, Kevin James and Adam Sandler (pictured above).

After the jump, Chris Rock gets burned trying to joke around with Kobe Bryant, Andre 3000 covers the Beatles in the name of basketball and Dustin Hoffman and Jason Bateman smooch. Seriously.

New York Magazine's Vulture spotted two great clips today -- in the first, Outkast's Andre 3000 brilliantly and enthusiastically covers the Beatles' 'All Together Now,' played out as a retrospective Kobe Bryant tribute. Check it out:

But our ~~potential~~ definite favorite moment of the first night of the finals? 'Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium' co-stars Dustin Hoffman and Jason Bateman popped up on the Staples Center's Kiss Cam, as a joke, and decided to go for it.

Another classic moment (the second aforementioned good find by the indispensable Vulture) was Chris Rock attempting to chat and joke around with an all-business Kobe Bryant. Legendary Lakers coach Phil Jackson then berated Rock for giving a courtside interview. See the clip:
