JACK
IS BACK
The number 1 fan of LA Lakers joins the NBA playoff party
The Hollywood actor Jack Nicholson is one of the most famous Lakers fans.
In Game 6 against the Grizzlies, he reappeared for the first time since 2021 and at the ripe old age of 85, causing quite a stir.
Lebron gave Jack a warm welcoming hug when he spotted him courtside, the actor back to experience the magic of these amazing Lakers.
The Los Angeles team has always had big name fans, but Jack Nicholson has arguably been the most prominent.
In 1970, the three-time Oscar winner bought a standing-room-only ticket that he has been renewing ever since.
In all, he has been with the franchise for more than 50 years, more than an era, and he has even been seen in Lakers games on the road.
Nicholson included a clause in his movie contracts in which he was guaranteed to attend Lakers games during filming.
He is one of the privileged ones with a season ticket near the Lakers bench. There are 124 courtside seats and they cost about $110,000 a year or $2,600 for one game.
The actor, who hasn't shot a film since 2010, officially retired from acting in 2013 and has reduced his public appearances since then.
It was rumored that he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, but his entourage has denied this fact.
Jack was present at Kobe Bryant's retirement, participating in his farewell tribute video.
He has always been very active in the arena and his protests to the referees came very close to getting him sent out in a match in 2003.
After the Lakers' 2000 ring, the franchise's first since 1988, Nicholson was the first to salute rival coach and Celtics legend, Larry Bird.
Jack is, in my opinion, by far the greatest fan in Lakers history.
