Rihanna's NBA Finals Love Triangle

Apparently there's a lot of room under Rihanna's umbrella.

The chart-topping singer was seen at last Thursday's NBA Finals game in Orlando, but it's uncertain whom she was there to see. Just two months ago, gossip sites alleged she was dating Lakers center Andrew Bynum after the two were seen together at Maestro's Steakhouse in Beverly Hills. Her reps said they were just friends, though the whispering continued, especially when she attended Thursday's game between the Lakers and the Magic.

Sunday night came, and as Lakers fans can attest, Bynum started the game with a fire in his belly. Was it because the championship was within reach that night? Maybe, but it could also come from new reports that Rihanna actually came to the game to see an opposing player, Magic all-star forward Rashard Lewis. A "friend" anonymously remarked that Rihanna is "digging on" Lewis and hopes the feeling's mutual.

What a backdrop for the NBA Finals! What could be crazier than that? Well, funny you should ask.

Little Ike Turner himself, Chris Brown, was also at the game! Folks, you just can't make this stuff up. The former couple sat within eyeshot of each other, and when going back to his seat after halftime, Brown even shook hands with a few of her friends. Rihanna was not there at the time, however, and she split after the game without talking to either basketball star.

So what was this like for Brown? It's Orlando, so how about a comparison from the Magic Kingdom. Imagine that Mickey loses Minnie for doing something awful, and then he hears how she might be dating both Goofy and Pluto. The mouse's luck turns worse when the two suitors end up in the championship game of his favorite sport, and when he goes to the game anyway, he ends up seeing Minnie sitting nearby. Pretty messed up, huh?

What's next? With basketball season over, there's a good chance this storyline has just begun. We find this delicious.
