[Saba Sports News] Monday night was packed with major events in both sports and pop culture. While the NBA and NHL playoffs were in full swing, the Met Gala was also taking place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
One familiar face at the Met Gala was Savannah James, wife of Lakers superstar LeBron James, who missed the event due to a knee injury.
That same night, the Denver Nuggets faced the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of their second-round playoff series. So even if Nuggets guard Russell Westbrook—known for his bold fashion choices—had wanted to attend the Met Gala, the tight playoff schedule made it impossible.
Following Denver’s dramatic 121-119 victory, Westbrook was asked whether he had discussed the Met Gala with his former teammate.
“It seemed like LeBron \[James] was gonna go \[to the Met Gala]… did you give him any tips on what to wear or how to handle that?” ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne asked him during the postgame press conference.
