Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and wideout Ja’Marr Chase were a few of the team’s players attending Sunday’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns.
Before the game, Burrow and Co. met up with the likes of Devin Booker.
And after? The quarterback-wideout duo made even bigger waves by exchanging on-court words with LeBron James.
Social media went wild trying to pull off some lip-reading to see what was said, though conventional wisdom says LeBron asked Chase if the Fruity Pebbles cleats he sent the star receiver fit well — Chase wore them during a primetime game last season.
Here’s some media of the duo at the game and the postgame interaction, courtesy of All Bengals’ James Rapien:
