Kim Kardashian was in attendance tonight as LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers took a commanding 3-1 series lead over Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. She was present for their Game 3 30-point blowout win over the Warriors in what felt like a one-time occurrence given that she doesn’t have a strong relationship any of the players out on the court. However, her showing up for Game 4 changed that.

Kim’s courtside appearance for Game 4 had NBA Twitter speculating on whether or not she was perhaps in a relationship with any of the players on the Lakers or the Warriors. Some believed she was seeing Lonnie Walker IV, who already has a partner, while others believed it could’ve been Austin Reaves.
Though, with her most recent Instagram story, it’s clear who she was there for and who was rooting for to win.
Kim Kardashian shows love to Tristan Thompson
Tristan Thompson has a complicated history with the Kardashian family. He was famously in a relationship with Kim’s younger sister, Khloe Kardashian, and the two share a daughter as well. He would however, be caught cheating on her with various women at night clubs.
Despite this, the two have seemingly buried the hatchet and are on good terms, raising their daughter together. Them being on cordial terms with one another has also resulted in Khloe’s sisters and the rest of her family to once again accept Tristan back into their fold.
