NBA stars have been linked to the showbiz for quite some time now. Whenever they go, they go with this aura around them, which explains why so many people are interested in knowing them. It also means that they will get to know a lot of famous people during their careers. 

Over the years, we've seen some of our favorite players meeting figures that we only dream of at least seeing them. That's easy when you thrive in the association and so many people want to know you, to praise you and have a little chat with you. 

Sometimes, the combinations of celebrities are very weird, but they can absolutely happen. Recently, Instagram page SWAY shared a series of photos of NBA players with random celebrities that we never expected to see. 

Luka Doncic and Guy Fieri open this door, while other legends like Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, and more are featured on the slides. Even though some of them have nothing to do with basketball, these pictures are still great to see. 

Fans appreciated this post, and even though most of them focused on the last slide with Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith posing with Chris Rock, others noticed that some NBA legends were present in the post:

Keenan Kobe Kel

Kenan and Kel with Kobe was my childhood

That second to last slide is random as hell

Who’s the Blue Hair Guy, what makes him a Celebrity and the Lady must be a Model. I know the others are a Bad Ass Ball Player and Chef.

Why they all look like they be related

That is so random

Lebron Kobe Jordan and melo.. how random

Sometimes we're so used to seeing NBA players on the court that it's hard to see them in a different environment. Well, just as it happened in the 2022 Miami GP of Formula 1, a lot of celebrities meet to spend time together, and most of the time, NBA stars are included in those plans. Those pictures were very interesting, and we're pretty sure there are more where they came from.
