This may be straying a bit from the basketball landscape, but I, like some of you, couldn't help but tune in Saturday night to catch David Beckham's debut with the LA Galaxy, as the MLS team took on Chelsea in perhaps the most-hyped soccer match on American soil since the World Cup in 1994 (thought perhaps that's not saying much).

As it turns out, the Hawks were represented at the game, as PG Tyronn Lue took in the action from a luxury box with his good friend Kevin Garnett.

We caught up to T-Lue for a few minutes yesterday to talk about the event:

Hawks.com: How was the atmosphere in LA?

Tyronn Lue: It was a scene. The crowd was crazy, it was a great atmosphere.

Hawks.com: Have you always been a soccer fan?

T-Lue: I had a girlfriend in college who played soccer, so I used to go to a lot of games. I never played it or anything growing up though.

Hawks.com: So you went to the game with KG?

T-Lue: Yeah, he loves (Chelsea player) Didier Drogba, and we are both fans of Beckham.

Hawks.com: I saw KG on TV, but I never saw you, where were you sitting?

T-Lue: I was just kicking it in the background. I was behind Arnold.

Hawks.com: Schwarchenegger?

T-Lue: Yeah, he and his wife sat in the box with us. He was really nice, he remembered me from when I played with the Lakers. Jimmy Jam was in there too, and Posh came in there for a little while as well.

Hawks.com: Have you ever met either of the Beckhams?

T-Lue: I've met Victoria a couple of times, she was very nice. I've never met David.

Hawks.com: How do you think he did in his first game?

T-Lue: Well, it was tough obviously because he was injured. I felt for him, I know what it's like to want to be out there playing even if you shouldn't be. As an athlete, you are a competitor, you want to be out there as much as possible. It was funny though - every time he stretched, or put on his socks, the fans would start to go crazy. The place erupted when he finally got in there.

Hawks.com: Do you think his arrival will make a huge difference for soccer in America?

T-Lue: I don't know. I hope so though. I've always liked him, so hopefully this move will work out for everyone.
