In Los Angeles, there has always been an absolute fan first in the crypto.com Arena of the Los Angeles Lakers, between the players' bench and the table to score: Jack Nicholson. So much so that now, the place bears its name. It is the most expensive chair and the actor of “flight over a cuckoo nest” had it in subscription.
Due to his age (87), the actor becomes rarer but his place is not empty. During the night from Friday to Saturday, she was occupied by another star: Bruce Springsteen. A little more than a month before his arrival in France for three concerts in Lille and then Marseille, the “boss” made a hook by where he has long lived and still has a house. The author of “Born in USA” sat in “Place Nicholson”, just at the end of the Lakers bench of LeBron James and Luka Doncic.
His presence could have gone almost unnoticed. Except that Springsteen intervened in the match. At one point, the ball came out of the field and which took it back with a firm hand? The boss in person.

Rui Hachimura couldn’t believe it when he put two & two together that it was “The Boss,” who caught it! 😂

On the NBA images, you have to see the face of the Lakers Rui Hachimura player when he realizes the identity of the fan in the front row. He has his eyes wide open and seems not to come back. We guess who is his favorite singer.
Springsteen in any case did not come for nothing. The Lakers have won for the 50th time of the season. It is the first time since 2020 that this assessment has reached it. 5 years ago, he won the title, it may be a sign to watch for their opponents. In any case, they have secured their third place in the classification of the West Conference at the end of the regular season. They will therefore have the advantage of the field during the play-offs. But Bruce Springsteen will no longer be there to support them. In May and June, he will be in Europe for a series of concerts with his “E Street Band”.
