Jay-Z was also at the game with Barry Bonds and E-40.

Last night was huge for the Boston Celtics as they knocked off the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. This is a series that many had going to the Warriors, however, the Celtics showed great poise in the fourth quarter and ultimately played spoiler at the Chase Center. Surprisingly, however, the Celtics won in spite of Jayson Tatum who only managed 13 points in the match, all while garnering 13 assists.

After the game, Tatum got to hang out with none other than the legend Jay-Z. The legendary rapper was sitting courtside at the match, and following the final buzzer, he made sure to go up to Tatum and strike up a conversation. Tatum has a great deal of respect for Jay-Z so it was cool to see the two link up on the biggest stage of basketball.

Needless to say, Jay-Z had plenty of reasons to attend last night’s game, and the basketball played just a tiny part in all of that.
