On Monday, Kanye West turned 38. To celebrate, his wife, Kim Kardashian, upstaged anyone who’s ever thrown a surprise party by renting out the Staples Center (they tend to do these things a lot) for a reported $110,000, all so Kanye and his friends could put on their own version of the NBA’s All-Star Game. Sadly, North wasn’t invited. But the Kardashian clan, John Legend, a bunch of NBA players, Justin Bieber, and hoards more were. It was a who’s who of six degrees of Kimye. Here’s a breakdown of the people who got to ball with Kanye for his birthday. (If you can identify who we missed, let us know in the comments.)
