TheDallas Mavericks are taking on the Minnesota Timberwolves in a star-studded Game 3 of the Western Conference finals Sunday night, and the crowd was electric! Leading the series 2-0, the Mavs had some high-profile support in the house, with Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomesfront and center.
Mahomes, who tweeted his excitement after the Mavs’ Game 2 victory, saying, “See y’all in Dallas!!,” made good on his promise, arriving courtside with his wife Brittany. The couple’s appearance on the jumbotron ignited a wave of cheers from the fans, a stark contrast to the mixed reaction for Mahomes’ teammate Travis Kelce. Kelce, who faced some boos, had also been busy supporting the Dallas Stars in their NHL Western Conference finals matchup the night before.
The star power didn’t stop there. Singer Ne-Yo, Mavs legend Dirk Nowitzki, and NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal were all spotted enjoying the game. Nowitzki, looking relaxed, was seen chatting with Mavs superstar Luka Doncic before the game.

Alex Rodriguez, the 14-time MLB All-Star and part-owner of the Timberwolves, was also in attendance, clearly torn between his professional allegiance and the intense competition on the court.
Pregame festivities saw Queen Latifah mingling with Mavs majority owner Miriam Adelson, while NBA superfan Jimmy Goldstein made his presence felt with his signature cowboy hat and eye-catching shirt. Goldstein, known for his dedication, has attended over 5,000 NBA games, and his enthusiasm was palpable.
With such a dazzling array of celebrities courtside, the game was as much a spectacle off the court as it was on it. The Mavericks, buoyed by their star-studded supporters, are looking to keep the momentum going as they chase a spot in the NBA Finals.
