Kim Kardashian rented out the entire Staples Center in L.A. Monday so that hubby Kanye West could celebrate his 38th birthday with his bros on the basketball court.

"Kim rented out the Staples Center so Kanye and his boys could play an NBA-style game with real refs and Laker girls!" a source tells E! News exclusively. "John Salley is the announcer. Houston Rockets player James Harden and rapper 2 Chainz are the coaches. John Legend sang the national anthem."
