In the Lakers’ ‘Celebrity Row’ at Crypto.com Arena, celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Halsey, David Duchovny, Becky G, Jason Segel, Selena Gomez, Druski, Allison Hsu, Dave Chappelle, Flea (Red Hоt Chili Peppers), and Colin Jost were featured.
Getting Kyrie Irving and LeBron James back together may have been a mistake the Lakers wish they had made.
Betting against Kyrie Irving, probably the greatest ball handler in NBA history, is never a smart decision, even though he seemed like a tоxic pick in the days building up to the NBA Trade Deadline. At Crypto.com Arena, it took place on April 28, 2023. Even though the Dallas Mavericks were already on vacation, Kyrie Irving made a point of stopping by his house in Los Angeles to catch a Lakers game. On a peculiar day, Game 6 of the first round of the playoffs took place between LeBron James’ squad and the Memphis Grizzlies. An unusual sight these days, actor Jack Nicholson was even at his courtside seats.
The joint’s most popular patron, though, remained Kyrie. During the offseason, Lakers star Kyle Irving made it apparent that he was not sure if the Dallas Mavericks would retain him. His rookie year in Dallas fell short of expectations, and he ultimately decided to play with the Lakers. However, general manager Rоb Pelinka opted against this signing after Kyrie Irving’s off-court issues in Brooklyn. At the time, the point guard was embroiled in a number of scandals stemming from his deeply held political views. However, it did not imply that it would inevitably impact his performance on the court. Whatever the case may be, Irving was never a Lakers player.
That choice now appears to have the potential to follow Pelinka throughout his career. Especially considering the outcomes that Kyrie Irving has achieved since then. The Dallas Mavericks are coached by Kyrie Irving and have a record of 24-17 heading into Wednesday’s game at Crypto.com Arena. The Lakers are presently 20-21. The fans will never forgive Pelinka for not taking action earlier if the Lakers suffer another loss at Kyrie Irving’s hands. At this very moment, the point guard is once again among the top players in the league. The reason behind this is the trust he received from the Dallas Mavericks, which was lacking from the Lakers.
