Denzel Washington Walks Across Court To Greet LeBron
When you’re a star, they let you do it
Grab em by the receding hairline
That’s the LeBron effect. Everyone wants to be in the same room.
This is the real MVP of the night
When Denzel walks over, you know it’s serious.
LeBron got the Hollywood treatment tonight.
He’s the man up in this piece!!
yo, I’m trying to relax here 😂
“Denzel, Oscar winner, walked up to me with tears in his eyes. He told me I changed his life completely.”
In like 10 years, what’ll be the highest profile NBA-actor courtside meetup like this? There aren’t many Denzels or LeBrons left who’ve been ever-present since I was a kid lol.
None of the <30 NBA are quite there yet, and there aren’t many Denzels today. Maybe Ant & Michael B. Jordan if he keeps the momentum up
Chalamet seems to be a genuine nba fan and all his movies seem to land well so I could see his trajectory be quite big but idk who the actual star player would be.
Will have to be the next big Knicks star
Thank god we will never see the Knicks get a true star, amen.
Wemby, french union.
I thought about that but does Wemby have the same presence for non NBA fans that Bron had/will he ever? It doesn’t seem like any player under 30 has that or is close to that level. I think we might have to wait until Lebron retires and wait for the next big prospect.
honestly if Cooper really balls out, i can see him being that next star. But Lebron had the biggest hype of any sports star ever before he debuted, nobody has had that level of hype since. So Bron had that going for him, and then he also had a massive second year leap and never looked back. AND stayed healthy all throughout his career until these last 4-5 years
Wemby has that international backing and being the 7’6 unicorn/alien he is, fwiw
I would say in my experience the average non watcher is maybe slightly more aware of Wemby than usual, but no where near LeBron James
That’s true. The other day I saw someone on X refer to Epstein as the “LeBron of pedophiles”.
That’s unhinged language to use, but it really goes to show what an outlier LeBron is.
Depends. Denzel and LeBron are muuuuch older and have a higher stature.
If 15 years from now wemby has 3 or 4 rings and as many MVPs and Chalamet has kept up his success, maybe has an Oscar. Then maybe. Right?

When you’re Denzel, they let you do it
When you’re an American icon*
Definitely a when you’re Denzel Washington type of situation
*When King Kong ain’t got shit on you
At the very least, those two are acquaintances.
fuckin knew this would be the top comment.
Sam Jackson: So I get in the car and the driver looks back and says “wow, first Mr. Freeman, then Mr. Washington, now you. I’ve got them all.”
So I’ve seen Morgan Freeman do what he wants courtside, now Denzel. I just need Sam to come through.
Denzel can go out there and chuck a few 3s if he wants
Grab em by the LeBussy.
the way OP worded it I thought the game was going on lol. He walked behind the basket during shoot around. Not as bad as OP made it seem.
With that title I was kinda expecting him to walk on the court
Like Avon in The Wire when he nonchalantly walks across the baseball game mid field in prison and they all just pause the game for him. 😂
I’m just a gangsta I suppose
And I want my corners.
My name is my name
Oh indeed
Do tell
One of my fav episodes is the Avon vs Prop Joe basketball game….The Wire is so goated
Prop Joe acting like Pat Riley lolol
Avon - Ayo, what’s up playboy, how come you wearing the suit B, fr it’s 85 fucking degrees out here and you’re trying to be Pat Riley
Joe - Man, look the part, be the part, mfer
Prop Joe looks like a chunky version of Jalen Brunson.
Still the best TV show ever made.
Sopranos for me.
1A, 1B
sopranos was great when it was coming out one episode a week, but i just watched the whole thing in like a month and it was crazy repetitive
Amen
I wish the coaches would still dress like Prop Joe.
Look the part, be the part, motherfucker!
It’s 90 degrees out here, and you dressed like pat riley!
THATS NOT HOW THE GAME IS PLAYED!! WHAT KINDA REFEREE ARE YOU?!?
Great scene
What I tell you about playing them away games?
Clickbait title

During the play too.
Why is OP orgasming
Let’s go Denzel. Let’s go Denzel! Oh shit. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHH shit! holllLllllLLLLLy shit.
This dude goes to Crypto.com just to get his rocks off at witnessing celebrity interactions
“What’s up Antony Kiedis? What’s up Leonardo DiCaprio?
<Kiedis and DiCaprio see a 19 year old woman>
“OH SHIT. Oh shit. Holy shit.”
Isn’t 19 a little old for Kiedis?
Ay Bonner!
When you found out your ship just became canon:
Kinda reminded me of the Rudy Gay guy, lmao.
For the uninitiated: link
Fucken Roo-dee Gay man!
Such a shame what he did to Boromir.
lol so cringey

He just walked over and asked Bron if he liked to get wet. Bron’s face suggests he does.

The dude recording this is glazing like crazy
Ngl when I went to MSG and I saw Spike up close, I damn near had the same glaze, however I did not let it out like OP lmao
In fairness if you are gonna glaze up a celebrity Denzel is a pretty fucking goated choice, he is a genuinely exceptional person and role model.
People were saying very similar to this in the mainstream about Bill Cosby, not even 20 years ago.
Celebrity worship is always kinda weird and risky.
just…behaving like that about anybody is abnormal to me. i don’t get it.
Exactly. It’s kind of creepy in a sense because the OP in the video is like, “let’s go Denzel!” as if he personally knows the guy. Meanwhile Denzel is just casually walking across a court to go say hi to a friend.
including basketball players
It’s pretty cool to see one of the best actors ever dap up one of the best basketball players ever.
Imagine being the security guard trying to tell Denzel he can’t do that.
“You better walk away! I’ll burn this Mother- F-er down! King Kong ain’t got shit on me!”
“You motherfuckers will be working security for the New Orleans Pelicans when I get finished with you… 13-40 ass, I’m the man up in this place”
Shoe program, 23 hr lock down, you will never get below the 2nd apron
“You get your fucking hands off me”
Alright Alright, it’s okay, no it’s okay…..my man!
Denzel is a well-known class act, so I think it would just be an awkward situation that everybody looks back on and laughs at later
If it were a more petty celebrity? The security guard gets fired that night
I like how LeBron is a bit taken off guard, but realizes, “Oh, he’s famous. One of us.”
You can absolutely tell the split second Bron looked up he was pissed someone was bothering him and it all faded when he recognized who it was.
Having been on the Lakers for years, before joining he’s already played in LA for dozens of times, I’m pretty sure he’s used to all sorts of celebrity greetings. But sure, he gets pissed every time for a split second.
And it’s not like it was pregame or postgame, it was while the game was still going on during a timeout so he was for sure caught off guard. Reminds me of that video where a fan tries to get LeBron’s attention and touches his knee and you see him fuming after that a peasant touched him lol
To be fair, I don’t want some random person I don’t know touching my knee either
Bro, and those knees are critical for making hundreds of millions of dollars. I would for sure be extra careful about strangers touching them.
Denzel def was sitting there thinking about if he could get away with it. Fuck it I’m Denzel, why shouldn’t I?
How many people could actually do this? Denzel obviously, Obama almost certainly. Not sure if I can think of too many more folks that could comfortably do that during a game
Samuel, for sure.
Obama could ask them to pause the game and do it. Most A listers could prob get away with this.
I heard the audio clip of their interaction, and Denzel said this this to Bron…anyone know what he’s talking about?
“You got one problem though, you got no witnesses, who are your fucking witnesses? Roger? Smiley? You think my troops are going to help you? Its not what you know, its what you can prove”
You wanna play the Mavs or you wanna go home?
I run shit up in here! You just live here!
You know I’m surgical with this bitch, Bron. How you want it, dawg? Open Jumper?
“My man!”
That’s not the line
Surprised Denzel didn’t start his stop watch before the interaction
Read that as Denzel Valentine initially
Oh no, that is not the shot
i’ll never forget Stacey King’s reaction to that crunch time 3pt attempt , too funny
LeBron would have been the one walking ti greet the true GOAT.
I suspect part of why Denzel was able to do this is he was dressed almost exactly like the staff on the court.
I suspect it’s because he’s Denzel Washington
Oh, Denzel does it and it’s fine, but I do it and security is all over me and I’m being charged for “harassment and assault”
Even your favorite actor is star struck when they meet The GOAT!
He made like 2 movies and he’s your favourite actor?
Tbf he was funny as hell in Trainwreck
Something tells me it wouldn’t go over as well if it were me going over to greet LeBron
Yeah the black vans woulda scooped you up
“My man”
The only other person that could do this with LeBron is Obama.
At first Bron thought he was a fan and then that sigh of relief when it was Denzel
How annoying is this guy recording holy shit.
Robert McCall looking good
MY MAN! You gonna dribble correctly tonight right? Cause KING KONG AINT GOT SHIT ON YOU
That’s gotta be pretty cool. Two of the most important black people in American culture
When you’re Denzel you can do things like that
LeBron initial reaction to when he recognized who it is Went from tense to relaxation real quick
Blink and you’ll miss it
Totally saw that. Real friend moment there.
He don’t step on the court once
Had that training day, okay.. walk.
goat recognize goat
Denzel is the smoothest motherfucker alive
Is Denzel that easy to recognize? I like a lot of Denzel movies, but I sat a few rows behind where there vid was taken and had no idea Denzel was there. Would have taken a pic of him if I knew
If he was walking towards you making eye contact you’d recognise him.
He’s front row, which usually means rich and/or celebrity, so people are going to be looking at him anyway. And he’s at least one of the top 5 most famous black people in the US, especially for non-athletes.
With those seats at a laker game if he looks like Denzel Washington he probably is Denzel Washington
He’s one of the few black ppl that is respected by every age range in the black household.
Two possibilities. One is that they know each other well already. Another is LeBron just assumes it’s some sort of celebrity when he sees someone walking towards him like that
I looked through my vids to see if Denzel was in any of them. Nope
This is the closest I got https://imgur.com/a/p20MTKk
Ohkay. Alright.
LeMyMan
Denzel powerscaling
BLACK EXCELLENCE
I’m gonna try that next time
Denzel can do whatever he wants.
You just know Denzel hit Lebron with the “my man”
Coming from a white dude. 1 it’s fucking denzel a legitimate legendary actor.
He’s taller than I thought.
He might be a better street baller aka his he got game character than LeBron.
He said
I’m leaving with somethin’
Walking like Frank Lucas
Tried the same thing. Just posted bond
Denzel has the exact same mannerisms as his movie characters. So I guess that’s just him being like that.
I hope he’s not drinking while flying airplanes, making business with the russian mob and all that shit, though.
Lemyman
Idk if any NBA player ever will have motion like LeBron. Curry sometimes comes close (especially in Asian countries). Giannis might be on his way there though and Wemby seems to be gaining steam a bit.
I love seeing normal sized people hug giants
They were too afraid to stop him
LeGotGame
Lebron relaxed when realized it was Denzel, its like seeing you uncle attending your game.
guy with the mavs luka jersey behind them lol
I was drunk, I’m drunk right now.
He even walks like Denzel.
Denzel Washington Jake Shuttlesworth
Hey that’s me at the end in the Mavs jersey!
I was at the game too! Lucked out into some courtside tickets from a coworker. I was on the other side of the court. He was sitting next to Laufey!
OP is fully regarded.
Damn dude can’t just chill at a game with someone randomly pointing a camera at him.
My man…
My man
He CAN do that
LeQualizer
Peep no jewelry, or fancy clothes.
Denzel got the walk. Love that dude.
Such a dad move, love it.
OG recognizes OG
Would anyone in a courtside seat be allowed to do this?
Act like you belong and you can walk right past whatever security is on the court and up to Lebron to shake his hand.
Gangsta walk
Denzel walks up to lebron while smiling and say “My…”
Denzel doing the most for a quick dap up
King Kong’s got nothing on him!
Damn Denzel was walking up like a nervous kid and LeBron kind of gave him the normal hey what’s up. Granted they probably aren’t close but these are two of the greats. At the same time LeBron is about to play a game and is probably locked in
That’s pretty dope
i have always wanted a hug from denzel
