There's Something About Larry
ESPN.com reports that Tony Parker, in a last minute fit of premarital insanity, took the famed Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy and eloped to Las Vegas on Friday, July 6th (the eve of the day he was to wed Eva Longoria). Tony became a suspected trophysexual when he admitted to kicking his then-fiancee out of his bed so he could to spoon with the championship trophy for the night.
The understandably shocked and devastated Longoria had this to say in response:
"I can't believe he would leave me for a trophy named Larry. Whatever. I'll just go marry the Alma award I won for my role in The Young and The Restless. No I'm NOT a desperate housewife, @%$#*!"
It remains to be seen how this will affect the ratings of ABC's broadcasts next season. Since Longoria started to attend Spurs games in support of her boyfriend, ABC has reported an average of a 15% ratings increase per 10 seconds of Eva coverage. Although it has been rumored that Parker plans to keep Eva's old season seats and actually place his polished partner in the seat for home games.
ABC has not announced their plans to adjust to the change, but TNT is reportedly negotiating with the AT&T Center for exclusive rights to install a "Larry-Cam" in the cup holder directly in front of the trophy's seat.
The AT&T Center also revealed preliminary plans to introduce a halftime promotional feature called "Larry, Barry, and Dairy" in which Spurs guard Brent Barry would attempt to hit the championship trophy with a basketball-sized water balloon filled with 2% milk from anywhere on the court.

Where will the line be drawn in this shameless exploitation of Tony Parker and Larry's new relationship? Only time will tell. Until then, I'm keeping my peeled for Eva and her Alma.
