Few players can appreciate a deep 3-pointer the way Damian Lillard and LeBron James can. So it was a good thing the two were among a handful of NBA stars who pulled up to the Las Vegas Aces game against the New York Liberty on Saturday in the desert.
With the first quarter coming to a close, Sabrina Ionescu put on a show in the nationally televised rematch of last year’s WNBA Finals, perfectly using a screen from Kennedy Burke to launch a three from the logo.
This looked so smooth. There’s just really not much you can do as a defender.

Bam Adebayo and LeBron’s wife, Savannah, were also sitting courtside for the highly anticipated matchup. So, too, was super agent Rich Paul.
The gangs all here 🙌
