New York Knicks
Spike Lee, a life-long Knicks fan, attends every single game and somehow manages to dress crazier and crazier every single time.Eva Longoria

Dallas Mavericks
Yeah, Mark Cuban owns the Mavericks, but he’s also their biggest fan. He’s always making himself known to the referees and the opposing team’s fans, like a true Mavericks Maniac should.Chris Tucker
Atlanta Hawks
Chris Tucker, an Atlanta native, is seen at even the lowest-attended Hawks games. Yes, he always looks this old nowadays.Tiger Woods
Orlando Magic
Tiger Woods was seen less during his marriage problems, but he’s still got court-side tickets and has been seen frequently at the arena as of late.Jimmy Buffet
Miami Heat
Jimmy Buffet is a courtside staple, along with his son. He was even kicked out of a Heat game once for arguing with the refs over a bad call.Will Smith

Will Smith was (obviously) born and raised in Philadelphia. He also tried to buy the team in 2006, but failed. However, that didn’t put a damper on his 76ers fandom.Eddie Vedder
Chicago Bulls
Vedder was born in Evanston, Illinois and is a die-hard Chicago sports fan. He’s even befriended many of the city’s premiere athletes, including former Chicago Bull Dennis Rodman.Jared Fogle (The Subway Guy)
Indiana Pacers
Jared Fogle is an Indy native and life-long Pacers fan. He can be seen regularly sitting courtside during the Pacers season, chowing down on a cold cut combo.Lil Wayne
New Orleans Hornets
Everyone knows that Lil Wayne is a NOLA native, so it’s no surprise that he’s a fan of his hometown Hornets. He’s not seen at games as frequently as some of the other people on this list, but he has been known to show up courtside from time to time, both at home and away games.I like to find cool things on the internet, and I managed to get a job where I get paid to find cool things on the internet all day. Things are looking up!
