Kim Kardashian is the best wife ever!
The 34-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star rented out the entire Staples Center in L.A. Monday so that hubby Kanye West could celebrate his 38th birthday with his bros on the basketball court.
"Kim rented out the Staples Center so Kanye and his boys could play an NBA-style game with real refs and Laker girls!" a source tells E! News exclusively. "John Salley is the announcer. Houston Rockets player James Harden and rapper 2 Chainz are the coaches. John Legend sang the national anthem."
The insider adds that Justin Bieber, Tyga, Pusha T and all of Kanye's friends are playing today in addition to NBA stars Russell Westbrook and John Wall. Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, Carmelo Anthony, Shaquille O'Neal and Scotty Pippen all made videos that showed up on the jumbotron.
But that's not all. Kim also surprised Kanye by building a basketball court in their own backyard! The source adds, "He's obsessed w basketball."
So how much did renting out the Staples Center cost Kim? The source says she was able to rent out the space for a whopping $110,000!
