The NBA playoffs are not only home to the season’s best teams, packed-out games, and some of the best scoring all season. Fans are surprised with which celebrities have earned the game’s best view of being courtside. During Saturday’s game three matchups of the Los Angeles Lakers against the Golden State Warriors, Nia Long was spotted sitting next to vocal powerhouse Adele. The two were spotted leaning in and smiling in conversation. Additionally, the two add beauty to the game’s courtside.
Both Nia Long and Adele are not new to courtside life. Adele is engaged to NBA Agent, Rich Paul. Paul is the agent of Lebron James. He is also the head of sports at the United Talent Agency. As for Nia Long, she is the former girlfriend of now Houston Rocket’s coach Ime Udoka. Udoka is the former head coach of the Boston Celtics, who tied their series with the Pillidelpia 76ers last night. Last year, Udoka was fired as the head coach as his cheating scandal became public. The firing was due to the league’s strict regulation of an inappropriate relationship with female staffers. Nia and Ime share an 11-year-old son together from their 13-year-long relationship.

Furthermore, Nia’s public appearances have all received praise following the breakup. Her courtside appearance adds to the celebration as she continues to partake in public activities. The Lakers will face the Warriors on Monday night for game four of the series. The Lakers are leading the series by one win.
