The stars once again came out to watch playoff basketball on Saturday at Crypto.com Arena, and we’re not just talking about on the court.
The courtside seating, expanded for the postseason, was once again a who’s who of musicians, actors, and athletes for Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs between the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers.
Travis Scott was locked into the rhythm of the game like it was one of his own beats.
Singer Rotimi was there as well to soak in the action. On the other side of the court from Scott, sat the lead singer of Imagine Dragons, Dan Reynolds.
Timothy Olypant sat at halfcourt alongside his wife Alexis Knief. Ray Nicholson, the son of Jack Nicholson, sat in his famous father’s seats that have stayed in the family for decades.
The athletes were well represented as well. L.A. Chargers linebacker Khalil Mack watched the action from the baseline.
Former NBA player Richard Jefferson was there. Two former Lakers champions also mingled with the players and celebrities as Robert Horry and Lamar Odom took in the playoff action.
And finally, the passing of the proverbial torch was there too. Current Arkansas Razorbacks guard Darius Acuff Jr., expected to be a top-5 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft also watched the action courtside as if he was picturing himself playing against the game’s greats on that very court.
Music. Film. Sports. Fame. Legacy.
It all came together for playoff basketball in Los Angeles.
