But the real showstopper? A post-game meet-and-greet with the legendary Steph Curry. The Golden State Warriors star, despite the loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, graciously took time to chat with young Samuel, leaving Ben beaming with pride. It was a moment that undoubtedly solidified Affleck's position as the coolest dad on the block.

Little Samuel, sporting a James jersey, was full of energy, enthusiastically celebrating every three-pointer. The infectious joy was palpable, creating a heartwarming scene amidst the intense basketball action.

Adding to the Hollywood flair, Olivia Wilde and Zach Galifianakis were also spotted enjoying the game. But all eyes were on Affleck and his son, especially after the Curry encounter. Furthermore, Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, were seated about fifty rows back in an area that some Lakers VIPs prefer to sit in, so their night was a pretty sharp contrast to Harris'.
