Does this explain why David Beckham is suddenly such a big basketball fan?

David Beckham has become regular at NBA games in recent weeks - and it appears the slam dunks aren't the only attraction.

The football star was caught soaking up the view from his front row seats directly in front of a team of scantily clad cheerleaders.

Between distractions, he watched on as the Sacramento Kings defeated the LA Lakers 124-101.

Victoria, the Anti-Sporty Spice, sat this match out after she was spotted looking rather bored at a game at the Staples Centre last week.

She left David unsupervised as she shopped in Beverly Hills, stopping in at the boutique chain that recently dropped her dVb denims range.

The owner of Kitson criticised her for not promoting her jeans, and took them off the shelves because they were selling badly.

But Posh was clearly keen to make amends with a high-profile visit to the popular Hollywood branch.

Meanwhile, the pair recently decided to send their youngest son Cruz to an exclusive private nursery attached to a Jewish temple in Los Angeles.

David, 32, who has referred to himself as "half Jewish" and Posh, 33, met with staff last week to finalise arrangements.

A source told The Sun: "There's no plan for Cruz to be educated in the Jewish faith. It's just one of the best schools for young children in LA."

David's mother Sandra's family is Jewish but she doesn't practise and he has no known association with the religion apart from a Hebrew tattoo.
