The court is his sanctuary. I'm just wondering how long it will take till some fan has a giant Eva poster to mess with Parker.

I'm sure it has already happened, lol

Sad story.

Police eye death of boy who fell at Staples Center

By RAQUEL MARIA DILLON, Associated Press 2 hours, 38 minutes ago


LOS ANGELES (AP)—The family of a 2-year-old boy was posing for pictures in a luxury suite high inside Staples Center when he managed to scale a clear safety barrier and fell more than 20 feet to his death, police said on Monday.

Lucas Anthony Tang suffered head injuries Sunday when he landed on rows of seats minutes after the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors 117-89, police said. The boy later died at a hospital.

Police were releasing few details about the incident as they tried to determine what happened.

Sohn said the boy’s family was taking photographs at the time of the fall.

The Los Angeles Times, citing unidentified police sources, said the toddler’s family was looking at digital photographs and lost track of him. He somehow got over the top of the glass barrier, the newspaper reported.

Sohn, however, said she could not confirm those details.

The luxury boxes have tiers of seats, fronted by concrete walls. Atop the walls are glass barriers. The barrier varies in height but at its lowest point is about the height of an adult’s waist, said Michael Roth, a spokesman for Staples and owner, AEG.

Roth declined to be more specific about the height and it was not immediately clear from which point the boy fell. He said the toddler fell into a general seating area about 30 rows up from the court.

The child fell 25 to 50 feet, according to various estimates from police detectives, fire officials and Roth.

Witnesses said the boy was moving his arms, legs and head when paramedics put him in an ambulance, Roth said.

The luxury box met all building requirements, Roth said. The 950,000-square-foot stadium opened in 1999 and has 160 luxury suites on three levels. “In 11 years, we’ve never had an incident like this,” he said.

A message seeking comment from the city Department of Building and Safety was not immediately returned on Monday.

The police department’s juvenile division, which has investigative responsibility when a victim is under age 11, was handling the probe. “It’s procedural” and did not necessarily indicate that a crime was involved, Sohn said.

The arena was conducting its own investigation, Roth said.

Roth declined to release details about the boy’s family but said the luxury box—as with most suites—probably was owned by a corporation.

“Our condolences and prayers go to the Tang family,” Roth said a short prepared statement.

The Lakers organization issued a statement expressing shock and sadness at the tragedy.

“To go from a moment of happiness and enjoyment, to the loss of this boy’s life, is tragic and heartbreaking. We would like to ask Lakers fans to join us in keeping Lucas and his family in our thoughts and prayers,” the statement said.

Roth said Monday night’s game between the Los Angeles Clippers and New Orleans Hornets would go on as scheduled.

The arena is home to the NBA’s Lakers and Clippers, the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings and the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks.

Adjacent to the popular LA Live entertainment complex, Staples is also one of the city’s major venues for concerts and special events such as the Grammy Awards.

Heat lose again.

Dallas has been playing amazing this last week, 4-0 in 5 days on double back-to-backs with only Thanksgiving off. Wins against OKC, Spurs, and Heat.

Tyson Chandler totally changes the Mavs, can't wait until they get to play the Lakers.

[Osede]

It just made me laugh hard after I read the pre-game interview of james regarding Cuban text him for recruiting during the free agent thing while looking at the final score of this match.

[Man0warr]

I actually think Chandler will end up being better than LeBron could have been, Dallas has never had a dominant center that could both score and play defense, and shoots 80%+ on free throws.

[Rhinox]

Bulls went 4-3 on their yearly circus trip. First time in 12 years


Oh and Derrick rose is continuing his quest for MVP with another monster game.

Already has taken the mantle as the leagues best PG

[Man0warr]

No way, Chris Paul and Deron Williams are both better. Rose has put up more points but he has no choice but the be the main offense on the team he's on.

Just out of curiosity. What you basing your opinion on?

Edit: Because the same can be said about Deron williams.

[Man0warr]

Except Deron Williams can get a player like Paul Millsap the ball in the right places so that he can score 30. Derrick Rose literally has no one on his team anyone considers a scoring threat, when Boozer gets healthy maybe.

Outside of ppg, Deron Williams is better than Rose in every way when it comes to being a point guard. I'd put Rondo ahead of Rose too but only because I don't consider scoring to be that important.

It's all subjective though, every team needs their PG to have a different skillset. For instance, Dallas and Boston have no use for a shoot-first point guard.

Chris Paul is still the best all around though, he can do whatever his team needs in any given game. One night he scores 40 with 5 assists, the next he has 4 points on 2 for 2 and 16 assists.
