Soccerway. Goal. Arsenal Watch Lakers. Cesc Fabregas leads the Gunners on NBA outing... Nothing brings out sports stars like the opportunity to watch other sports stars in action. It may be an odd phenomenon, but the spectacle of competition in one discipline seems to bring out the fan in the masters of another. That was on display again on Monday night, as Arsenal's players turned out in force to watch the NBA Exhibition game between current champions, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the lambs to the slaughter up-and-coming Minnesota Timberwolves.
Thomas Vermaelen, Robin van Persie, Cesc Fabregas and Carlos Vela were among the Gunners' stars who found themselves courtside for the game, mainly to watch Kobe Bryant strut his stuff. But they, like the many other fans in the O2 Arena, were to be somewhat disappointed after the 32-year-old was withdrawn after just six minutes of action. The Timberwolves went on to grab a surprise victory, 111-92, but Goal.com UK was on hand to capture all the more important pictures from the event:
