Jack Nicholson at LA Lakers, The unexpected public appearance of Jack Nicholson at an NBA playoff game thrilled fans of basketball and movies alike.
The actor, who turned 86 last week, stayed in to watch the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, April 28. For the first time since the start of the prior season in October 2021, Nicholson attended the event at the Crypto.com Arena from his usual courtside spot.
The actor is known for keeping to himself, but when he was spotted at the Los Angeles Crypto.com Arena courtside for Game 4 of the Warriors vs. Lakers matchup with stars like Kim Kardashian, Chris Pratt, and Flea, fans were overjoyed to see him.

The One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest actor watched the game from his normal spot close to the opposition bench, joined by his son Ray Nicholson.
Nicholson arrived at the arena, shook hands with the basketball team’s executives, and addressed reporters by saying, “Welcome back.” Before the game began, he also gave LeBron James an embrace.
One of the Lakers’ most well-known supporters for a long time, Nicholson bought his first season tickets for the team in 1970. Throughout his playing career, he was well known for modifying his shooting schedules to ensure that he could see every crucial Lakers game.
Nicholson has occasionally made an appearance on the court, even when he fiercely disagreed with an official’s decision. Due to his intense devotion to the team, Nicholson’s prolonged absence from the courtside has been noted.
Nicholson has been more reclusive in recent years. Earlier this month, the actor’s supporters stood up for him after derogatory pictures of him were published in a British tabloid.
The actor, best known for his roles in The Shining and The Departed, was seen on the balcony of his Beverly Hills home while pretending to be asleep and wearing an orange t-shirt. Before that, Nicholson had been absent from the public eye for 18 months.
