The Golden State Warriors’ NBA Finals opener against the Boston Celtics brought out many big names to Chase Center for the team’s sixth finals appearance in eight years, and their first since the team relocated to San Francisco.
Among the famous celebrities in attendance Thursday night were rapper Jay-Z, Giants legend Barry Bonds, NBA Hall of Famers Gary Payton and Bill Walton, Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki, Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey, sports broadcaster Ahmad Rashad, A’s pitcher James Kaprielian, poker player Phil Hellmuth and Journey guitarist Neal Schon. Those were the ones that the NBA at least decided to acknowledge.
