'Sport'

Hello,

What is the meaning of 'sport' in one of the sentences below?

Scarlett: Thank you, it’s my first time here. I’m very excited. Very excited.

Jimmy: I know, I’m very excited to have you here. You were a very good sport with Guillermo last week at the premiere of The Avengers.

And in this paragraph too:
Scarlett: Oh my god, he just got us all started. We were just sloshed by the end of that.
Jimmy: Especially you. You were the best sport of everyone. In fact, I think we have video of this.

Thanks
