Justin Timberlake plays cameraman at Grizzlies game (GIF)

Justin Timberlake can sing, dance and act. However, entertainment's version of triple-threat also has another skill.

The Tennessee native, who has a minority stake as an owner of the Memphis Grizzlies, showed off his camera skills during Sunday's game against the Miami Heat when he took over for a lensman.

When you're JT, you get to do these things.


I wonder if those two girls making duck faces into their smart phone know they are sitting behind one of the world's most versatile performers — both in front and behind the camera.

Sure they do.

Grizzlies wait five minutes to get buzzer-beater win against Kings (VIDEO)

It seemed nearly impossible that the Grizzlies could score a winning basket trailing 110-109 with only 0.3 remaining on the clock against the Kings Thursday night. But somehow Memphis pulled out a dramatic victory thanks to a buzzer-beating inbound pass-to-tip-in from Vince Carter to Courtney Lee.




Too bad it took officials nearly five minutes of checking replays for the Griz to finally celebrate:



Grizzlies win: 111-110.

Tony Allen ejected for kicking Chris Paul in face (VIDEO)


Tony Allen earned a flagrant foul call and an ejection Monday night after giving Chris Paul a close-up view of his new sneakers.

Allen's foot caught the Clippers guard in the face as Paul drove the basket in the first quarter of the Memphis-L.A. game at Staples Center, and after reviewing the play officials were left with no choice but to eject the Grizzlies player. 

Paul seemed to be fine; he made both free throws after the foul and scored a bucket on the Clippers' retained possession.

Gilbert Arenas dumps on haters with $100 bills as toilet paper

It looks like former NBA enigma Gilbert Arenas has traded in his Charmin for the rough stuff after posting a picture on Instagram showing a toilet roll filled with $100 bills.

The picture was accompanied by a caption reading: "Money don't change ppl..the lack of money does..never seen a rich person rob a bank..while u hate on my life I'm wiping my ass with this sh*t here haha."



The so-called "hating" on his life refers to the fact the three-time All-Star did not play a single game last season — but still picked up a $20 million-plus paycheck.

Despite not playing, Arenas remains the the NBA's third highest earner after collecting $111 million for a six-year deal signed with the Washington Wizards in 2008.

He was then traded to Orlando in 2010 and was let go by the Magic in 2011 before joining the Shangai Sharks. So, when not playing in China, he is basically being paid eight figures to sit.



Speaking to HipHollywood in September, Arenas said: "I don't need the NBA money. I've had enough of it."

I guess for now he'll just have to dump on his detractors.
