Last night's NBA game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers was a movie. All of the stars were out to witness the double-overtime thriller where the Mavericks pulled out the road win.

As always, our attention was focused on the shoes all the celebrities wore to the big game. Below is a complete roundup of all the sneakers worn by stars in the courtside seats.

No star in attendance was bigger than BTS member Suga. BTS, a K-Pop group, is the most popular act on the planet and a global force for good. So it's no surprise that NBA players wanted to meet their members when they get a chance.

There were several pictures and videos taken of the 29-year-old rapper and recording artist. Thanks to a Lakers' tweet, we learned that Suga wore a pair of black Valentino low-top sneakers that can be purchased for $980 online.

Lil Wayne

Lil Wayne is a well-documented hoops fan and detractor of Mavericks' guard Luka Donic, so naturally, he was not going to miss the primetime game. Lil Wayne sat courtside in an all-black outfit, representing Balenciaga from head to toe.

The 40-year-old rapper wore the adidas x Balenciaga Triple S sneakers in a black and white colorway. The shoes cost $1,150 online.

Mookie Betts

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts is a big hoops fan and an even bigger sneakerhead. The 6x MLB All-Star is a Jordan Brand athlete, so it was no surprise to see Betts in a pair of Air Jordan sneakers.

Betts wore the Air Jordan 1 Low in the 'Violet Shock' colorway. The shoes were released in 2021 but have since sold out. Luckily for fans, they can still find a pair of these classic low-top shoes for $110 in several colorways on Nike's website.
