Watching a game of the Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center is one of the best things that can happen to any basketball fan, and if it’s from the front row, all the better.
Get ready, because here we tell you which 3 celebrity Lakers fans love to be in the front row of the Staples Center.
1.- Jack Nicholson, the first of the celebrity Lakers fans
Jack Nicholson needs no introduction: he is known worldwide for being the actor who has been nominated the most times to the Academy Awards, having won it 3 times; he won 2 times as best actor and 1 time as best supporting actor.
His magnificent performances in films such as One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Terms of Endearment, As Good as it Gets, The Shining, A Few Good Men and Batman, made him the king of Hollywood during the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Nicholson, in addition to being a super actor, is a huge fan of the Los Angeles Lakers. He has attended the Staples Center since 1970, where it’s usual to see him in the front row. In recent years, he has stopped going due to his health conditions and his advanced age, since he’s already 84 years old.
The last time Jack Nicholson attended the Staples Center was on October 19, 2021, the day of the inaugural game in which the Los Angeles Lakers faced the Golden State Warriors. As it was expected, the audience paid tribute to this amazing actor with a standing ovation.
Jack Nicholson is a big Lakers fan, and his love for the game has caused him to argue angrily over referee mistakes, which nearly got him booted out of the Staples Center in 2003.
Nicholson’s constant presence at Staples Center allowed him to establish a great friendship with Pat Riley, who was a former player and head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.
After the loss of Kobe Bryant, a close friend, the actor grieved and publicly expressed his grief.
No doubt, Nicholson is No. 1 among famous Lakers fans.
2. Kendall Jenner visits the Staples Center when she falls in love
Kendall Jenner is today one of the most influential and highest paid models in the world. She has been on almost every magazine cover that deals with fashion, love and show business.
And why does this supermodel like to walk around the Staples Center? Turns out, this girl likes to find love on the basketball courts. According to celebrity love interest insiders, the youngest of the Kardashian/Jenner clan has dated several Lakers. One of them is D’ Angello Russel, who received this beautiful girl’s support while playing for the squad in the yellow and purple kit at the Staples Center.
Kyle Kuzman is another Lakers player who dated this lovely girl. When he was playing in Los Angeles, the player loved to party and go on yachts with Kendall. Kuzman should be proud, because the images of this girl in a bikini are stunning. We’d all like to be close to this stunning woman, especially if she’s scantily clad. By the way, be sure to check out Kendall in a bikini in her social media accounts.
When Kendall visited the Staples Center to support D’ Angello Russell and Kyle Kuzman, she did so as a local, but when she attended to support Ben Simmons, Blake Griffin, Jordan Clarksson, Chandler Parsons and Devin Booker, she went as a visiting fan.
According to all showbiz reports, Devin Booker is Kendall’s current boyfriend. Will Devin Booker be the one to marry the youngest Jenner? What will happen in the love life of Kendall Jenner, one of the celebrity Lakers fans?
3. Snoop Dogg, one of the Lakers’ most loyal celebrity fans.
Snoop Dogg is a well-known Lakers fan. This recognized rapper has received numerous honors for his musical productions. Moreover, he has participated in several motion pictures.
This rapper loves going to the Staples Center dressed in a Lakers uniform. When the team is doing well, he celebrates in style and when things aren’t going so well, he complains and even posts memes on his social media accounts, making fun of some of the players.
Snoop Dogg has no questions about who the greatest basketball player of all time is. For the rapper, the best is Magic Johnson, followed by Michael Jordan and LeBron James.
This rap star paid a well-deserved tribute to his friend Kobe Bryant, and he did it doing what he loves the most, which is singing. He wrote the song Let’s Do It Mamba Style, in which he takes us on a tour of this wonderful player’s spectacular career, who was a huge star of the yellow and purple team.
Surely, Kobe and all basketball fans will be thankful of Snoop Dogg for this amazing gesture that only a great friend can make.
