Jack Nicholson has held Los Angeles Lakers season tickets since 1970, sitting courtside through more than five decades of NBA basketball. The seats put him alongside the team for 11 championship runs, from Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry West through the Showtime era of Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Shaq and Kobe dynasties, and the LeBron James title in 2020.
His seat, second row from the floor on the Lakers' bench side, has cost him an estimated $750,000 to $1 million per season in recent years for the pair he holds. Nicholson has occasionally been ejected from games for arguing with referees, a distinction shared with very few celebrity attendees, and has been photographed at virtually every notable moment in modern Lakers history.
He has missed games for film shoots and award ceremonies. He has rarely missed playoffs.
