At Tuesdays night's Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets game, the 16-year-old got to wear Lakers coach Phil Jackson's 2009-2010 championship ring by  simply asking his girlfriend, Jeanie Buss, if he could. 

Buss, who is also the daughter of Laker's owner Jerry Buss, said in an interview before the second quarter that she was carrying Jackson's ring after the night's ring ceremony when the pop star asked to "borrow" it.

"I couldn't say no to Justin Bieber," she said.
