Brown in cake caper
Lakers center Kwame Brown isn't a exactly league leader in steals, but he allegedly scored one sweet takeaway in Hermosa Beach over the weekend.
No matter how you slice it, Brown, known for small hands that occasionally fumble passes on the basketball court, enjoyed a real cakewalk Saturday, according to a police report. For reasons only he knows (and he's not talking) Brown allegedly snatched a man's $190 2-by-2-foot chocolate birthday cake.
Once he had the cake, Brown opted not to eat it, too. He instead allegedly hurled it at the man and struck him in the back.
It all went down at the Blue 32 nightclub on Hermosa Avenue.
Several Lakers headed to the bar following their 109-106 victory over the Orlando Magic on Friday, according to a Hermosa Beach police report. Just down the street, Alexander Martinez, the man who filed the report, was celebrating his 30th birthday at the Shore Restaurant.
About 1:45 a.m. Martinez left the restaurant, his birthday cake in his arms, and walked north. He stopped in front of Blue 32. According to Martinez's report, Brown came along, grabbed the cake out of his arms and threw it at him. The report gives no indication why Brown would do such a thing.
The 5-foot-9, 165-pound Martinez, tried to confront the 6-foot-11, 270-pound Brown, but Brown got into a white limousine, the report said.
Twelve hours later Martinez visited the Hermosa Beach police station to file a police report on the purloined pastry.
Detectives looked into a possible case of grand theft and presented it to the Hermosa Beach city prosecutor, who decided to throw the case out.
Lakers spokesman John Black said the team was aware of the episode, but had been informed prosecutors were not seeking charges.

Brown was out with a group of teammates for Ronny Turiaf's birthday, when he exited the club at about 2 a.m., grabbed the cake and threw it, hitting Martinez's upper back, according to a police report. Brown then left in a limousine.
Turiaf said Wednesday that the cake was meant to hit him, which it did on the back of the head, but he declined further comment.
The Lakers had defeated the Orlando Magic at Staples Center a few hours before the incident.
Martinez, listed at 5 feet 9 and 165 pounds in the report, was out for a 30th birthday celebration with his wife and other friends. He filed his police report 12 hours later.
The district attorney declined to file charges against Brown, who was unavailable for comment and is not traveling with the Lakers on their three-game trip because he has been sidelined by a sprained ankle.
"It was a misunderstanding," Lakers spokesman John Black said. "We're glad that the authorities saw that it's without merit. This can be put behind us and we can move on now."
Before the cake toss, Martinez had asked for, and received, a photo with Turiaf outside a different club, according to the report.
After the incident, the accuser saw Lamar Odom exiting a nearby pizza place and told the Lakers forward what had happened.
One of Odom's friends, described as a possible bodyguard in the report, pushed Martinez into the street and told him to "Get away from Lamar."
Odom, however, told his friend to leave Martinez alone. "Calm down," Odom said, according to the report. "He didn't do anything."
Odom also did not travel on the Lakers' trip because of an injury.
