Chewbacca was at Game 3 in Cleveland Saturday. Sitting courtside.
Why? Because growing up on Kashyyyk he played a little hoop and admires LeBron James’ skill? Because Drake gave him the tickets? Maybe. I mean, it’s not like that was just a clever little publicity stunt for a movie.

After the Cavaliers’ win, Kevin Love decided to make a little joke of it with noted humorist Kendrick Perkins, and it went over as well as expected (with Dave McMenamin of ESPN catching it).
Kevin Love: “Are you going to go hang out with Chewbacca?”

Kendrick Perkins: “Who is that?”
(Love shows Perk a photo on his phone of Chewy sitting courtside at Game 3)
Perk: “Oh, I don’t really keep up with all that new stuff.”
That’s vintage Perkins.
