Famous actor Bradley Cooper and rapper Meek Mill were sat courtside to cheer on their beloved Philadelphia 76ers for the team's crucial Game 6 of an Eastern Conference playoff series against the New York Knicks.
Cooper sat behind the net closer to the New York bench in a red and blue bomber jacket with 76ers legend Julius Erving's name and No 33 on the back.
Meek Mill was dressed in a black t-shirt, black shorts and black shoes to go along with his gold chains.
The 'Maestro' actor and 'Going Bad' rapper sat courtside come two days after Madison Square Garden's celebrity row was at full capacity with the likes of Sting, Offset, Cardi B, Ben Stiller, Julianne Moore, and others.
Celebrities also in attendance included Eagles players AJ Brown, Saquon Barkley, and Cooper DeJean, as well as team security guard Big Dom.

Meek Mill wore all black to the Knicks-76ers game on Thursday night at Wells Fargo Center
Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown and running back Saquon Barkley were also at the game
Famous film director M. Night Shyamalan was also in attendance alongside Phillies players Brandon Marsh and Alec Bohm.
Oddly, Cooper's only win of an award toward EGOT status is a Grammy, for 'Shallow' with Lady Gaga, which he recorded for the film 'A Star is Born'. Cooper is a five-time Oscar nominee, but has not won an Academy Award.
The Knicks survived and advanced past the 76ers with a 118-115 victory.
New York will face the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Famous film director M. Night Shyamalan is a diehard 76ers fan and was sat courtside

Cooper, Barkley, and the rest of the celebrities at Wells Fargo Center were surrounded by a partisan Philadelphia crowd thanks to around 4, 000 tickets given away to 76ers fans by the team's ownership.
The goal in buying the tickets was to keep Knicks fans out of Wells Fargo Center and give the team a true home-court advantage.
Team minority owner Michael Rubin said on social media those tickets would be given to first responders, health care professionals and other Philadelphia-based organizations.
During Sunday's Game 4 in Philadelphia, Knicks fans made their presence well known, making it sound more like Madison Square Garden South.
