The second game of the NBA Finals series between the Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics produced another round of celebrities to visit the Chase Center.
Famous celebrities in attendance Sunday night included rapper and partner of Naomi Osaka, Cordae, actor Michael B. Jordan, Hall of Famer Gary Payton, former Supersonics player Detlef Schrempf, rapper G-Eazy and of course E-40.
Payton, father of Warriors guard Gary Payton II, wore an incredible shirt that showed his son guarding a younger version of the older Payton when he was a Seattle Supersonics franchise.

Another notable name attending Game 2 was Ringer CEO and podcaster Bill Simmons, whose most prominent appearance in the arena came after officials stopped a quick pause to check for a technical foul on Warriors guard Jordan Poole Celtic guard Derrick White – it was assumed he didn’t, so the stop was allegedly made for no reason.

Also in attendance was CeeLo Green, who sang the national anthem before the game and put on a show at halftime. Curiously, Green wore a grey-and-green tracksuit during his Star-Spangled Banner performance. ABC’s cameras also caught Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadive, Michigan State men’s basketball head coach Tom Izzo – there to watch Michigan State product Draymond Green, among others – and 49ers- Coach Kyle Shanahan. 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel also recently appeared at a Warriors game, posting on his Instagram Story that he was seated on the sidelines.
