Narrative:

Flight landed runway 25R and exited runway at taxiway A6, headed for gate satellite 1. Flight passed behind an airbus, headed east on taxiway B, and turned north on taxiway B5 towards the gate. Just before turning right into the gate we noticed a B-737 in close (but not dangerous) proximity on our left, who was barely moving. He made a comment on ground control frequency that apparently we were seeing how close to him we could get. We immediately turned farther right and apologized on the radio. Ground control didn't mention either of the aircraft in our clearance 'taxi to the gate.' contributing factors: failure to look enough out the side windows. Our flight had not been taxiing fast.
