Twitter Pounds Bieber At Heat Game
MIAMI (CBSMiami) – South Florida is known for celebrities and the bandwagon filling up when a team from the area is close to a championship. Monday night's Miami Heat game had both of those with at least one celebrity inspiring Twitter to as Russell Crowe said in Gladiator, "unleash hell."
Pop superstar Justin Bieber, who has been seen plenty of times supporting the Los Angeles Lakers when in L.A., showed up to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals in Miami Monday night and wore leather shirt and enough chains to make Mr. T and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. jealous.
Bieber's appearance, both at the game, and his choice of clothing including a Miami Heat hat, got the tweet's rolling during the game as cameras constantly showed the pop icon. The jokes and snarky comments exploded and people even went crazy that the Biebs may have been wearing lip gloss.
