After former President Barack Obama and a group of first-time poll workers attended Game 1 of the 2020 NBA Finals as virtual fans, the league is bringing in a group of 50 children from the Challengers Clubhouse as well as multiple celebrities for Game 2 tonight.
Professional athletes and celebrities expected to be in attendance include: Richard Sherman, Tyrod Taylor, Chiney Ogwumike, Iman Shumpert, Schoolboy Q, LL Cool J, Mike Golic Jr., Cordae and Bad Bunny.
Throughout the NBA’s bubble season, more than 300 fans each game have appeared live on 17-foot video boards surrounding the court. The fans watching virtually can interact with each other throughout the game using Microsoft Teams’ “Together mode,” which removes fans from their individual backgrounds and brings them together in a shared visual space.
