Along with fellow actor and entertainer Billy Crystal and businessman Alan Horwitz, they will be added to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame’s James F. Goldstein SuperFan Gallery on Sunday, a few hours before this year’s class is enshrined in Springfield, Massachusetts. Besides, for the most die-hard of fans, it’s never about where they sit.

“He’s been suffering, too,” Lee said. “What makes it worse, he’s in L.A. and he’s all the years with the Clippers when the Lakers had Magic and Shaq and Kobe. Oh man, that was really rough.” “It was late in the game and I just kept hearing, ‘Hey Doc, we’re dead men walking,’” said Doc Rivers, then the Celtics coach. “And he just kept saying it. I didn’t quite know what he was talking about and then I figured it out late when we came back and won the game.”

Now 87, Nicholson no longer goes to see the Lakers and is the only one of the four new superfans not expected to attend Sunday’s ceremony.Lee is still a regular at Madison Square Garden, now wearing a Jalen Brunson jersey that was once a John Starks one.
