Mookie Betts Pays It Forward to Dodgers Fan LeBron James with His Support for the Lakers

As the competitive NBA is underway, fans from other spheres of sports come together. It is no secret that MLB folks have solid fandom in the basketball league. With that, yesterday’s Los Angeles Lakers vs. Phoenix Suns game witnessed some celebrity sightings from the world of baseball. Especially from Los Angeles, in support of the same city. 

Apart from MLB folks, there were also famous actors and comedians who made it to Staples Center in Los Angeles. That said, though the Los Angeles Dodgers are out of the World Series, this 31-year-old Dodger does not fall behind in partaking in sports. He cheered on for the Lakers. 

A True NBA Fan, Mookie Betts Cheers On For ‘The King’

Mookie Betts took to posting a story on Instagram as he watched the Lakers beat the short-handed Suns 100-95. The picture in his story was a powerful one. He captured LeBron James’ leap and coupled it with Travis Scott’s HIGHEST IN THE ROOM, perfectly describing ‘King’ James. He tagged the star and added his own footnote “Still got it!”. Not only did he capture the moment during the game, but also showed what a true fan he is indeed. 

He took to posting another story following that; with a group of other celebrities in the row. As he watched the game with his wife, Brianna Betts, he had the opportunity to shake hands with the legendary actor and comedian Kevin Hart. Not only that, Kris Jenner’s partner and amazing internet personality Corey Gamble also joined the crew. Without missing a beat, Betts brought them all in one frame and posed for a group picture tagging #NBACelebRow. 

LeBron and Mookie share a bond that goes beyond sport. Hailing from the same city teams, they always stand by each other in support of their respective games. Earlier this year, the NBA’s ‘The Chosen One’ cheered for the right fielder at a Dodgers’ game.
