Eddie Murphy, Sean Penn, And Leonardo Dicaprio Attend Thunder Vs. Lakers Game 4 In What Could Be Lebron James Last Game

Card image cap

The stars came out to Crypto.com Arena on Monday night to watch the Lakers fight to keep their season alive against the Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals. 

Entering the game, OKC led the series 3-0 and a Lakers loss would not only end their season, it might also be the final time we see LeBron James in a Lakers’ uniform or any other uniform for that matter. 

Those takes alone were enough to bring out Hollywood royalty for one last game. 

Leonardo DiCaprio arrived quietly, dressed nearly identical to how he did in Game 3. He took his seat next to his “One Battle After Another” co-star Sean Penn and friend and fellow actor Kevin Connolly.

A few seats away sat Eddie Murphy, dressed in all black with his shades on.

Bu the celebrity row didn’t stop there.

Jessica Alba smiled and waved to nearby fans. Gold medal skier Lindsey Vonn, Tinashe, Andy Garcia, Usher, and rapper 21 Moneybagg Yo all enjoyed the courtside view as well.

The sons of famous actors Jack Nicholson and Denzel Washington were also in attendance, with Ray Nicholson and John David Washington sitting in their famous fathers’ courtside seats. 

And because no major Lakers playoff game is complete without basketball royalty as well, Dwyane Wade, Robert Horry, and Phoenix Suns guard Dillon Brooks, a villain among fans, were also in attendance.

Here’s the rest of the list of stars spotted at the game: Jeffrey Katzenberg, Adam Corolla, Jay Mohr, Dyan Cannon, Lukas Haas, James Goldstein, Lou Adler, Corey Gamble, and more.

In most cities, playoff basketball is just a game.

In Los Angeles, it’s theater.
