Rihanna was court side for Game 1 of the NBA Finals, which was supposed to be a really big deal, as the Cavaliers and the Warriors faced off, after their fateful 2016 showdown. Yet, everyone, including on of the announcers on the game, Jeff Van Gundy, seemed to be much more preoccupied with Rihanna's appearance at the game. Honestly who can blame them.

She walked past Jeff Van Gundy, which caused him to barely even notice that LeBron James had just scored.

She yelled "Brick!" while Kevin Durant was taking a shot. And Kevin Durant seemed send her a few looks in response. Though he denied he was even aware of Rihanna yelling.
Reporter: "...you looked towards the crowd towards Rihanna. Was that on purpose?"

The Cavs ended up losing the game, but that didn't matter to Rihanna. As she put later: "The king is still king."
