DALLAS — If Kyrie Irving showing up courtside to watch the Nuggets sweep the Lakers means he’ll wear purple-and-gold next season, then, by that logic, we must assume Vin Diesel will make another “Fast and Furious” sequel with Adam Sandler, Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Edward Norton and Andy Garcia, and Alex Rodriguez will suit up for the Dodgers or Angels. They all made Crypto.com Arena on Monday, too. Don’t forget Trae Young, who’s frequented more Lakers games lately than Kyrie.
For that matter, Jack Nicholson has been a courtside regular for years, and I hear he’s got terrible handles.
Chances are Kyrie was front and center because he had insider info that it might be his buddy LeBron James’ last game. Never hurts to be seen when your contract’s up for grabs, either.
