The NBA's Biggest Celebrity All-Star Fans

Celebrities love the NBA. That's a fact. Jack Nicholson's home address is basically his courtside seat at Lakers games and Drake is so ingrained with the Raptors that he might as well be calling plays. This All-Star weekend ScoreBig is honoring All-Star NBA celebrities. If you have NBA tickets and see one of these fans courtside, you know it's going to be a good game.

What's the best way to show your love for a team? Buy an ownership stake. Jay Z did it in 2009 with the Nets and even though he's since sold his piece of the Brooklyn pie, he's still a regular fixture at the Barclays Center. It's rare that a team gets swagger from a fan's success (versus the other way around), but that's how powerful it is to have the biggest name in rap courtside.

Spike Lee's been doing the right thing by the Knicks since his father used to take him to games at the old Madison Square Garden. Now, he's such a fixture at MSG that he may as well be the Knicks' mascot. Spike's such a good fan that he doesn't just catch Knicks' home games. He goes on the road to catch his favorite team and even does their taunting for them (see: Miller, Reggie).

Hip-hop star Drake is the global ambassador for the Raptors and his love for the team is so strong that it's cost the team money. This summer, Kevin Durant attended a Drake show in Toronto where the singer asked the crowd to show KD what it would be like if he joined the Raptors. They responded with an MVP chant and the team was promptly fined $25,000 for tampering. Love don't cost a thing? Hardly. Sometimes love costs $25,000.

The best celebrity fans aren't the ones there during championship runs. They're the ones that are still there during the low points. Nobody experienced low points more than funnyman Billy Crystal, who cheered his Clippers through thick and thin (we're not talking Big Baby Davis and Jamal Crawford). Crystal is such a big Clippers fan that Sterling once asked his advice.

Barack Obama, Chicago Bulls

There's no greater compliment than having a man who represents an entire nation publicly declare his love for a single team and the Bulls are fortunate enough to have the admiration of the Commander-in-Chief. Obama reps the Bulls from the West Wing so hard that he went on the record in December saying he thinks the Bulls will top the Cavs this year. Hail to the chief fan!
