It appears that many people were focused on the Super Bowl last Sunday, including prominent NBA players. LeBron James, known for his love of football, was present at the major event in Las Vegas, accompanied by his wife and his agent, Rich Paul.
However, James was also seated beside a close friend and significant rival, Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors. Chris Bumbaca shared a tweet containing an image depicting Green and James sitting just a few seats apart from each other during the pregame warmups.
James and Green are intense competitors who have faced off numerous times and have had several heated exchanges on the court. However, they share an incredibly close friendship, demonstrating that athletes can maintain healthy relationships beyond the game. They have appeared together publicly on many occasions, and both have expressed deep care and respect for each other.
This wasn’t their initial encounter, and undoubtedly, it won’t be their last. However, the timing of their hangout is particularly intriguing for both players. Both the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors are striving to improve their positions in the Western Conference standings following challenging starts to the season.

Indeed, the Lakers currently hold just one spot above the Warriors in the Western Conference standings. There’s a strong possibility that these two teams could meet in the Play-In Tournament in the coming months. If that scenario unfolds, it will mark a fierce competition between two of the most revered franchises in NBA history, and it will also be a time for these friends to compete against each other. However, regardless of any heated moments on the court during the postseason, James and Green will maintain their friendship.
