Rappers and the Sports Teams They Root For - Game 7 was more than a spectacular display of [Miami] athleticism. Courtside, Flo Rida's manager got ejected for heckling a Pacers player and Justin Bieber got heckled for wearing leather and possibly lip gloss (most likely it was the water he was sipping). Regardless, all parties will likely be on deck to watch how their Heat matches up against the Spurs in the finals.

Drake and the University of Kentucky Wildcats - Drake wasn't with the University of Kentucky Wildcats when they were shooting in the gym, but got to do the next best thing. The Toronto rapper was announced as a narrator of the Turner Sports documentary Bluegrass Kingdom: The Gospel of Kentucky Basketball, set to air on TruTV next week. The film will break down the legacy of the legendary college basketball team. Drake's been a fan of the team for a while — he coached an alumni charity Wildcats game and has said coach John Calipari inspired him to get his high school diploma.

Lil Wayne and the L.A. Lakers - We know Wayne supports the L.A. Lakers (he says he was kicked out of a Heat game for letting his fandom get the best of him). And we know he's a Green Bay Packers fan (he recorded "Green and Yellow" as a response to Wiz). No love for New Orelans, Weezy? (Photo: Noel Vasquez/Getty Images)

Jay-Z and the Brooklyn Nets - Jay is more than a fan of the Nets, he was once a part owner and the unofficial face of the franchise. Although, he certainly wasn't sitting courtside every game when the Nets were losing in epic fashion on the other side of the Hudson.(Photo: Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)

Snoop Dogg and the Pittsburgh Steelers - We're not sure how exactly Snoop became a Steelers fan — he's said he's been one since the team's 1970s dynasty days — but L.A. hasn't had a football team in almost 20 years. Either way, the Dogg blessed Wiz with a verse on the remix to the Steelers anthem "Black and Yellow."
