LeBron James’ star power always attracts global superstars.

LeBron James and the Lakers hosted the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. This was one of the most entertaining matchups of the day, having Stephen Curry go up against James. In the end, the Dubs took the game, 128-121. A hard-fought game in which James dropped 40 points despite the loss. This matchup was quite anticipated as the two teams are probable to face each other in the Play-In tournament.

Nevertheless, while James was on the bench, Tyla, the popular South African singer happened to sit beside him. Getting courtside seats beside LeBron James is truly some experience and Tyla was lucky enough to grab the fan-favorite seat. The 22-year-old singer is quite popular with over four million followers on Instagram. James recognised her and their interaction went viral.

Quite a lot of fans have had the chance to sit beside the team’s bench and to have LeBron James recognize you is an even amazing experience. Though when it comes to celebrities sitting courtside, James might have the record for attracting the most in a single game.

LeBron James once had more than 10 celebrities show up in a single game

Playing in Hollywood, it is normal for celebrities to attend the Lakers game. However, when the Lakers took on the OKC on the 8th of February, 2023, more than ten celebrities, including NBA legends, were in attendance to watch the King break the scoring record. There were famous artists like Jay-Z, and Usher, and athletes, including Floyd Mayweather, Dwyane Wade, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and others.

These were to only name a few. James has a lot of respect in the sports world as well as the entertainment industry. Living in Hollywood, the King often has celebrities show up to his games, admiring his performance. With just a few more seasons left in him, LeBron James’ final game in the league will be a historic one.

As of now, the Lakers are a definite Play-In team, as the squad will look to make their way to the postseason. It will be interesting to see how far the Lakers can get by the end of the season. While the chances of making it to the 6th seed sounds impossible, the Lakers can still try and make up for a 7th or 8th seed, which gives them two chances to make the postseason.
