Nick and Aaron Carter Play Ball with the Hollywood Knights



Last Thursday Nick and Aaron Carter joined the Hollywood Knights basketball team to play against the faculty of Warren High School in Downey, CA to help raise money for the school.  Aaron started things off by singing the national anthem and the girls in the crowd went wild... well, really, the girls went wild any and every time he did anything: looked at the crowd, danced in the center of the court, smiled...

Some of their celebrity teammates included: Adrian R'Mante (Sweet Life of Zach and Cody), Matt Czuchry (Gilmore Girls), Josh Henderson (Desperate Housewives), Michael Copon (Scorpion King 2/One Tree Hill), Frankie Delgado (The Hills), Thad Luckinbill (Young and the Restless), DJ D-Wrek (Wild N' Out), and Manny Guevera, better known as Manny on the Streets, also hit the court--he's the Hollywood reporter on KIIS FM, who was the main sponsor for the event.  Coaching the team was Cylk Cozart (White Mean Can't Jump & Eagle Eye).

During half time, Hip-Hop artist Thrasher performed with Chikezie from American Idol; but, excitement--actually more like hysteria--absolutely flooded the gym when the autograph signing began right after the musical performance ended.  It was hard to get the hords of girls back to the bleachers so that the 2nd half of the game could resume.

It was a tight game that went into overtime and unfortunately, The Hollywood Knights ended up losing 53 to 47.

As soon as the buzzer called the end of the game, fans rushed the celeb players on the court. It was like being at a Backstreet Boys concert--the girls went NUTS!  Even years after the prime of their careers, the Carter boys can still charm the ladies.

    A friend of mine was at this game ... she said the girls were crazier for Nick Carter than for Aaron-- thought that was kinda weird...
