The Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Golden State Warriors for Game 3 tonight. Despite LeBron James not attempting a single field goal in the first quarter, the Lakers were down by only 7 points. However, the game flipped quickly in the 2nd quarter, and the Lakers put it to bed by the 3rd. As the game was a wrap, fans found other things to pass the time while the game clock ran. One of the things they got obsessed with was the identity of a teenage girl sitting right next to Bron and the Lakers bench.

After a blowout loss in Game 2, the Lakers returned the favor on their home court. Beating the Dubs 127-97, the Lakers handed their fans all the emotions they could have asked for, while also giving them a safe win.
However, one teenager really caught the eye of the Lakers fans at home.
Teenage girl sitting next to LeBron James draws Twitter reactions
The Lakers-Warriors series is perhaps the most anticipated series these playoffs. You get a re-run of the ‘LeBron James vs Stephen Curry’ show in the playoffs. Naturally, tickets for these games sell at prices higher than gold. The lowest seat price in either arena is well above the average.
A courtside seat for Game 3 of the Lakers-Warriors series started off at $34,803 a seat(via Vivid Seats). This was well before the date of the game came close, so we can expect the prices to have skyrocketed even further.
Seeing a teenage girl sitting on those seats, heck, sit next to LeBron James himself, and well, look disinterested in the game didn’t bode well with the Lakers fans. They took it to Twitter to express their emotions.
Well, whoever the girl is, I hope she knows she’s sitting next to basketball royalty and appreciates the same. As for the fans, what’s hating going to do?
