Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (left) and quarterback Joe Burrow
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and receiver Ja'Marr Chase sat courtside with teammates DJ Reader and Sam Hubbard for Sunday's NBA game between the Lakers and Suns in Phoenix, and Los Angeles superstar and Ohio native LeBron James chatted with both players after the game.
LeBron may have asked Chase how the Fruity Pebbles-themed cleats he sent as a gift last November are working out for him. Chase wore the cleats during a Thursday Night Football loss in Baltimore, and in practice earlier the same week.
The Suns' Devin Booker and Bradley Beal greeted the Bengals' players in attendance before the game.

From the NBA via Twitter/X:
Burrow appeared Saturday night at Rip Valley Hobby Shop in Phoenix as part of Fanatics Collectibles' Topps Hobby Rip Night.
The Suns' Devin Booker and Kevin Durant were at Paycor Stadium for the Bengals' home opener against the Ravens, sitting in Burrow's suite.
Burrow, Booker and Durant all attended billionaire Michael Rubin's Fourth of July "White Party" in the Hamptons.
Former Suns player Chris Paul, now with the Golden State Warriors, sent a signed jersey to Chase after tweeting that he needed a Chase jersey.
And former Suns player Cam John son, now with the Brooklyn Nets, wore a Chase jersey in 2022 as he declared on ESPN's "NBA Today" that his love for the Bengals grew from a hatred of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the fact that Chad Johnson also is a "C. Johnson."
