Game 5 of NBA playoffs Lakers vs Rockets brings star-studded crowd with Ted Lasso’s Jason Sudekis, Brenda Song, Macaulay Culkin and more

It was another star-studded crowd for Game 5 between the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com Arena on Wednesday night. 

Jason Sudekis, star of the Apple TV show “Ted Lasso” sat courtside just as the new trailer was released for Season 4 of the show that premiers on August 5th. 

In front of Sudekis sat Hollywood’s cutest couple Brenda Song and Macaulay Culkin. The duo are huge Los Angeles sports fans and can be seen everywhere from Lakers games to Dodgers games to Rams games at SoFi Stadium.

Star of NBC’s “Law and Order,” actress Mariska Hargitay shared laughs courtside next to the show’s creator Dick Wolf. Fellow actors John David Washington, Dyan Cannon, Andy Garcia, Jay Mohr and Ray Nicholson. 

Legendary actor Dustin Hoffman was also in attendance.

NBA superfan Jimmy Goldstein sat in his usual courtside seat decked out in leather from head to toe, including his cowboy hat. Former Lakers champion Ron Artest aka Metta World Peace, and North Carolina basketball player Caleb Wilson were also in attendance.

Another former athlete was courtside as well. Former NFL defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, who used to sack quarterbacks for a living, had his eyes on LeBron James and the Lakers all night. 

Moguls were there as well. Tilman Fertita kept a close eye on his Rockets. Another owner, Stan Kasten, who is a part-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, was in attendance. As was comedy mogul Byron Allen and film producer Jeffrey Katzenberg. 

The music industry was also well represented. Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis was there courtside. So was music producer Swizz Beatz, the husband of singer-songwriter Alicia Keys.

But the roar of the crowd was the loudest for former MVP and current All-Star shortstop of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Mookie Betts.
