There were memes aplenty after the internet saw Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez sitting courtside for Tuesday’s Los Angeles Lakers-Boston Celtics game.
Whenever the Lakers play in Los Angeles, you are bound to see plenty of celebrities sitting courtside for the game. Sure enough that was exactly the case on Tuesday night for their game against the Boston Celtics.
On Tuesday night, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were spotted sitting next to the Lakers bench during the game. Once Twitter users spotted them on the TNT broadcast, the memes were flying.
Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez get the meme treatment during Lakers-Celtics game
The internet had fun at “Bennifer’s” expense.
It should come as no surprise that Affleck was in attendance for this game. Come on, he is a diehard Boston sports fan, after all. Plus, it is the Lakers against the Celtics, two franchises that met in the NBA Finals 12 times, with Boston winning nine of those series’. That is a must-see matchup, regardless.
Unaware of the memes appearing across social media feeds, the two looked like they were having a good time watching some NBA basketball.
