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.

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."

NBA Rumors: LeBron James' Son Bronny Is on Draft Boards of 'Multiple Teams'

Chris Coduto/Getty Images Bronny James' USC team has struggled this season, but that reportedly hasn't stopped the NBA interest in the son of legend LeBron James. "When I talk to people around the league, he's on the draft boards of multiple teams," Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Thursday: Charania noted teams around the league believe he is "further along" on the defensive side of the ball than the offensive side, which makes performances like Wednesday's all the more important. The USC freshman finished with 11 points, six assists and five rebounds while shooting 5-of-11 from the field in one of his best offensive showings of the season in a loss to Arizona. The only game that he scored more points in was a Dec. 30 loss to Oregon State when he finished with 15 on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Perhaps most importantly, James played a season-high 30 minutes against the Wildcats on Wedn...

What Happened to the Rivalry Between LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony? - Bleacher Report

They were two young stars with unique and special abilities on the basketball court. They had recently played in a high-attention scholastic contest against each other. They were both selected in the same draft. The LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony rivalry was supposed to be the best individual rivalry since Magic and Bird. But while the relationship between Bird and Johnson is dramatized in a new Broadway play , Anthony and James will meet for the 15th time in their careers and do so without much fanfare.

"So You Think You Can Dance" season 18 ended the first stage of the competition on Monday night, March 18, with the last dance hopefuls looking for a spot in the choreography round. So far the bar has been set pretty high by standout performances from dancers representing a variety of dance styles, shapes, sizes and ability levels. So who stood out among the last crop of contestants? Did the show save the best for last? "We've put 25 people through," said judge Allison Holker at the start of the show. She singled out contemporary dancer Braylon Browner and gymnast Dakayla Wilson as standouts from the first two days of auditions. Comfort Fedoke agreed that Wilson is capable of anything a professional choreographer could throw at her. Maksim Chmerkovskiy was especially impressed by contemporary dancer Easton Magliarditi . But "there's so many other things outside of dance that we're also looking at." More from GoldDerby SEE ...
