Alex Bregman has now reached 'sitting courtside at a Lakers game' levels of superstardom

After a year in which he established himself as one of the elite talents in baseball, Astros third baseman Alex Bregman has been staying pretty busy so far this offseason. He surprised two Astros fans by crashing their wedding, went on ESPN's College Gameday show to rep his alma mater and attended The Match between Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods.
On Thursday night, Bregman took a break from his ongoing Twitter beef with Indians pitcherTrevor Bauer to sit courtside at Staples Center in Los Angeles to see LeBron James and the Lakers take on the Indiana Pacers.

Sitting in those seats at a Lakers game is a boss move usually reserved for Hollywood celebs like the Kardashians or Michael B. Jordan, so maybe we'll start seeing Bregman in the tabloids at some point soon, too.
Don't worry, Houston sports fans, Bregman won't be ditching the hometown Rockets for the Lakers any time soon. In fact, he paid homage to fellow H-Town sports icon James Harden during a post-game interview back in September.
