Video: Los Angeles Lakers Perform as 50 Cent’s Backup Dancers


Yep, it’s another major L for the Lakers. Steve Blake, Matt Barnes, Darius Morris and Derek Fisher made a delightfully awkward appearance on the show “X-Factor” last night, with three of them performing as back-up dancers for 50-Cent.

  • Mike From Spain

    WTF???????????

  • Lloyd

    If it were Blake Griffin and DJ, that would be pretty entertaining. I think that really shows who runs LA after just one off season.

  • Gavin

    Rookie Hazing. Darius Morris was centre stage…

    Thats a good one.

    It’s almost as if Steve Blake and Co. were looking for the mens’ room and made a wrong turn. Steve Blake “this isn’t the bathroom”. Matt Barnes “I knew we should have made that left at Albuquerque.” On another note, this is why being a celebrity can make you look more silly than cool.

    That whole performance looked like a train wreck. LOL

  • Heals

    Where’s the well they’ve all been Mamba’s back-up dancers so this shouldn’t be a challenge…

    How the hell did 50 go from a classic like Get Rich or Die Trying to performing a wack song on xfactor with a bunch of dudes as backup dancers?

  • http://www.twitter.com/notebooknick NotebookNick

    Derek Fisher is a Lakers star?

  • http://slamonline.com datkid

    lmaoooooooo nah it wasn’t as awkward as ya’ll are making it seem… but it wasn’t good. at all.

  • http://www.michaelcho.com m cho

    Get Rich or Die Trying is a classic? Illmatic is a classic. Ready to Die is a classic. Nothing 50 has done can be considered a “classic”.

  • dma

    derek fisher and 50 are good friends?

  • doyouwantmore

    What do 50 Cent, the Lakers, and most of Hollywood all have in common? – They somehow manage to always suck despite their huge success.

  • http://slamonline.com datkid

    get rich or die trying was a classic if you were born in the 90′s. and I was. so get rich or die trying is a classic lmao.

  • shutup

    Get rich or die trying is a classic, so is its dark and hell is hot, and in my lifetime vol. 1.

  • http://slamonline.com Ugh

    Kind of surprised a God-fearing family man like Fisher was on stage with 50 cent.

  • Yesse

    Lakers should be at practice. I also didn’t know, that 50 and D-Fish had a friendship?

  • Michael

    In what world is In My Lifetime a classic. Jay-Z doesn’t even like that album

  • SoCalHoopsFan

    Steve Blake was so lost lol. This vid had me cracking up.

  • Jer Dawg

    Gangstas don’t dress baggy no more. Rappers are dressing nice nowadays. What happened?!? Man, I’m feeling old.
    But, how does this commercialized pop culture show with uppity tight corporate folks have a rapper come perform on their show? i think it’s great and 50 seems to blend well with everybody he encounters. He doesn’t intimidate folks and comes across as likeable, charismatic guy. BUT, it’s hip hop on a pop show. it’s odd. Lakers appearing on the show? Eh, It’s Los Angeles. Get over it. Less talented individuals have had their 15 minutes.
