Over the course of the playoffs you'll see him siting courtside in several cities, he will be at 25+ playoff games this year and every year.

Currently, Jimmy is sitting just a couple seats from the Lakers bench in Utah.
He is wearing a fabulous gold and black jacket over a bright red shirt and black leather pants, topped off with a lovely black hat.

If you have been holding off on getting HD, this is the moment you've been waiting for.

I hope to see this thread every time someone spots him at a playoff game.

The main house is now beautifully preserved and has featured in several films, including the Coen brothers' The Big Lebowski.

He lives in Jackie Treehorn's house, dresses like a god and sits courtside at a different NBA arena every night of the playoffs. He might be the coolest guy in the world.

Very baller guy obviously. Having courtside season tickets to both the Lakers and Clippers must be ridiculously expensive. Basically he just goes to the Staples Center every night during the season, must be nice.

I'm guessing his season tickets cost ~150K-175/yr. I remember Jerry Buss saying Nicholson's seat cost $2K/game on an episode of HSP.. that might have been a couple years ago, so maybe it's gone up. Clips floor seats must be somewhere in the 60-80% range of Lakers floor seats.

This dude is crazy balla.

He says he prefers western conference games, so there is about a 100% chance he is courtside for Portland @ Houston tonight.

Sitting 3 seats to the right of the scorers table in Houston right now. Looks like the same getup from game 3 of the LAL-Utah series.

I spoke to him in Portland several years ago. Everyone, and I mean everyone knows him. Baller for sure.

He's in the crowd of the post game press conferences right now in Denver. Does he just have an all-access pass to everything?

Bump for playoff time.

I suspect we'll see him tomorrow night in Denver.

He was at LA in the afternoon and is at PHX right now. Such a sick life.

Sitting near sideline at about the top of 3pt line on the left side in PHX right now, wearing his usual hat style.

he is a complete nub imo. i never see him at cleveland games. he claims/aspires to be the biggest nba fan yet he doesnt go out of his way to watch the best of this era and possibly all time.

all i can think is that he is more involved in being seen rather than seeing the best nba.

The funny thing is that I don't love the NBA. I like it but its a few pegs down on my personal preference, well behind the NFL.

I just love the way he rolls. Most really rich guys are worried about how they're going to get the next million dollars that won't improve their life one bit, his main priority is getting to the next game.

If money was no object I'd go to as many sporting events as possible, he is the only guy I'm aware of that is actually living that dream.
