Matt Damon's Basketball Challenge

Basketball-mad Matt Damon mixed business with pleasure last night, June 5th - answering internet questions to promote his new film from his courtside seat at the Los Angeles Lakers/New Jersey Nets championship game.

The movie star, and Lakers season ticket holder, plugged into the National Basketball Association (NBA) site's internet chat-room during the half-time period of the game, and responded to as many questions as he could before the buzzer sounded for the second half.

It's the first time such an exercise has been attempted. Damon has agreed to the challenge to promote his new movie, "The Bourne Identity."
