This is the 12th time that the 17 time champion Boston Celtics and the 15 time champion Los Angeles Lakers have met in the 64 year history of the NBA Finals with Boston taking nine of those series.


The Los Angeles Lakeres are known for their championships, their purple and gold colors, and their Hollywood connections. On any given evening at Staples Center, there are dozens of celebrities there to see the game. In a city that houses the biggest movie production studios on the planet, the Lakers are regularly the hottest ticket. While the celebrities that litter the Staples Center crowd vary by night, there is one man who is there more than any other – Jack Nicholson.

Known as one of the greatest actors of his era, Nicholson has been nominated and won multiple Academy Awards. He has been in some of the most prominent movies in the history of film, and will go down in history as a staple of Hollywood. Nicholson, more commonly referred to as Jack, is also known for his courtside appearance at nearly every Lakers game.
