Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers turned 39 yesterday. And despite the inconsistent season he is having, Rodgers didn’t want it to put a dent in his birthday celebrations. A-Rod spent his birthday cheering his Milwaukee Bucks on a night they faced the Los Angeles Lakers. And Rodgers was courtside for all the action.
Aaron Rodgers was present at Fiserv Forum to root for Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. Rodgers is a part owner of the Bucks and was part of the stellar courtside presence alongside his Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb. Also present in the same row and company as Rodgers were Mallory Edens and father Wes Edens. Wes Edens is one of the primary owners of the Milwaukee Bucks organization.

This is not the first time fans spotted the 2010 Super Bowl champion at a Milwaukee basketball game. Aaron Rodgers was also present at the second game of the Milwaukee Bucks and Chicago Bulls Eastern Conference first-round playoffs series. It’s no surprise to see NFL players courtside supporting their favorite NBA teams. Dallas Cowboys pass rusher and defensive star, Micah Parsons was also present recently at the Mavericks-Warriors game rooting for his favorite player, Luka Dončić.
It’s safe to say Aaron Rodgers needed some motivation from his Milwaukee boys. However, Giannis and Co. couldn’t come out with the victory at home against the Lakers. LeBron James and Anthony Davis rescued the Purple and Gold army in a last-minute 133-129 win. Anthony Davis, who is a huge fan of A-Rod, put on a show for no.12 on his birthday, with 44 points and 10 rebounds in the game.
