Hollywood stars are regulars in Laker games. However, each time fans exhibit the same level of excitement during these celebrity sightings. So when fans spotted Vin Diesel in the Crypto.com arena, they rumbled with joy online.
With that said, LeBron James and Anthony Davis had a ‘fan-boy’ moment themselves. Cameras were all on the superstar trio while they shook hands and exchanged a few words.
LeBron James and Anthony Davis’ bizarre request
After the game, Anthony Davis opened up about the interaction during the post-game press conference. LeBron James and Davis just wanted to see if Diesel was as good as the world says he is with a car.
So their request was for Diesel to drive, flip and land a car in the Crypto.com arena. As the saying goes “old habits die hard,” Davis mistakenly addressed the Crypto.com arena as the Staples Center. Following this, Davis claimed that Diesel simply laughed it off. He said, “I think me and Bron were pretty serious to see if he could do it.”
AD told us what he and Bron told Vin Diesel:
"'If you’re as good as you say you are, we want to see you take a car and drive it off to Staples and do a flip and land it.’ He was laughing and everything like that. I think me and Bron were pretty serious to see if he could do it"

While the team banks on Davis to lead the way, the absence of James still lingers. However, coach Darvin Ham isn’t in a hurry to get the four-time champion back on the court. He wants his injury to heal rather perfectly, leaving no room for a reoccurrence.
Ham is certain that with lots of time left in the season, James will play a major part in the season. He said, “We have time on our side, we just want to be as cautious as possible.”?
