‘Lil Old Asian Lady’ And ‘AANG From Avatar’ Sitting On $30,000 Courtside Seats For LeBron James’ Lakers Vs Warriors Has Fans In Disarray

The Los Angeles Lakers being the most prestigious franchise in the NBA leads to a slew of celebrities that routinely show up for games to show love to the team. Everybody from Snoop Dogg to Jack Nicholson are in attendance for the purple and gold’s games when they matter most but given the popularity of the team, they also have a couple celebrities who are as loyal as anybody but aren’t very well known. The mysterious Asian woman on the sidelines for Game 6 between the Lakers and the Warriors is one such celebrity.

This has been a question for quite some time that has perplexed hardcore Lakers fans for decades now: Who is the little Asian lady who sits on egregiously expensive courtside seats? Her name is Yori Saneyoshi and she’s the daughter of a successful oil tycoon of Japanese descent named, Masao Saneyoshi.

How long has the ‘little Asian lady’ been coming to Los Angeles Lakers games?

What makes her appearances for Lakers games so intriguing is her demeanour during the games. she’s never seen cheering on the team she loves, she never stands up to clap, and rarely ever has any expressions on her face aside from the occasional smile that creeps across her face.

She has been attending purple and gold games for 5 decades now and witnessed the Magic Johnson-Kareem Abdul-Jabbar era, the Kobe Bryant-Shaquille O’Neal era, and now this iteration of the Lakers with LeBron James and Anthony Davis at the helm. The seats she sits on is one of the best seats in Crypto Arena and goes for around $30,000, especially during Playoff time.

This Game 6 between the purple and gold and the defending champions has brought quite a few interesting characters to the fore. Another man who has caught quite a bit of attention is the man who has shown up with the tattoo of an arrow on his head sitting next to Jack Harlow.

Fans have taken to Twitter to question the reason for why he has a tattoo on his head that very closely resembles Aang from Avatar The Last Airbender.

Cozane (the man who is sitting courtside with Jack Harlow with the tattoo) is usually with the rap superstar as they’ve known each other for a long time.
