NBA Star Has Hilariously Relatable Reaction After Spotting 'Game Of Thrones' Star Courtside

Toronto Raptors star RJ Barrett had just made an impressive basket against the Lakers when he turned to the crowd and immediately spotted Jaime Lannister himself, actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.

The courtside seats at Los Angeles Lakers games have long been a hotspot for celebrities. Jack Nicholson had regular seats for decades, and everyone from Adele to Madonna has been spotted there over the years.

And it turns out that even NBA players themselves can get a little starstruck when playing against the Lakers, like during a recent game against the Toronto Raptors.


During the game last Sunday night, Raptors wing RJ Barrett had a true moment of shock when he saw one of his favorite TV stars sitting in the front row.

As Barrett approached the corner of the court to celebrate a successful and-1, he suddenly realized he was playing directly in front of none other than Game of Thrones' Jaime Lannister himself, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.

Barrett was so taken aback by the discovery that he did what a lot of us would probably have done—pointed directly at Coster-Waldau and bellowed, "Game of Thrones!"

The woman beside the Danish actor, possibly his wife, Greenlandic actress Nukaaka Coster-Waldau, definitely got a kick out of the interaction as well, laughing and pointing at Coster-Waldau as if to verify for Barrett that he was in fact seeing the TV star he thought he was.

Of course, we'd all like to think we'd keep our cool when meeting our heroes, but most of us are probably wrong! And the internet definitely got a kick out of Barrett starstruck moment.










Most of us will probably never meet our heroes, but if we do, may the interaction be as wholesomely hilarious as this one was.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

Bride's Friends Surprise Her With Montage Video Of All Her Exes At Bachelorette Party—And People Are Mortified

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.

It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.
