Phoenix Suns Jazzed About Prospect Of Rosie O'Donnell Singing National Anthem

As a quantifiable metric of fame, attempting to procure courtside seats for an NBA game is as good a measure as any. That's the basic premise behind the GQ's "Celebrity NBA Challenge," which pits NBA brand-boosting superstars like The Rock versus their lesser celebrity brethren—Alex Trebek, for example—to see who can score the precious, last minute floor seats; for added fun, the fake flacks also ask if their clients can throw the ball around with the team and sing the national anthem. Some of the results may surprise you:
ERIK ESTRADA
The team:
Miami HeatCourtside seats?
"They're sold-out. I can't guarantee it. If we can't, we could definitely get rows one through five."Shootaround with the team?
"We'd have to clear it with Coach Riley." [...]
MISCHA BARTON
The team:
Dallas MavericksCourtside seats?
"We're all sold-out down there." [...]ROSIE O'DONNELL
The team:
Phoenix SunsCourtside seats?
"We'll have to check. If she sings, it's no problem getting the tickets for free."Shootaround with the team?
"I'm sure we could work something out."
It surely must be fulfilling for someone like Erik Estrada to know that while his star may have dimmed somewhat since his Ponch heyday (he's currently packing heat with fellow "celebs" LaToya Jackson and Jason "Wee Man" Acuna on CBS' reality series Armed and Famous), he's still guaranteed to land at the very least in the first five rows of a Miami Heat game at a moment's notice. Still, not even The Rock came close to Rosie O'Donnell's impressive payload of seats, a shootaround, and the national anthem, proving that NBA brawl-stars never hesitate to pour on the love when they spot a hard core Trump-pilediving, WNBA fanatic in their midst.
