If you’re here, it may mean that the cameras at the 2022 NBA Finals have focused on actress Nia Long, known for her roles in Empire, NCIS: Los Angeles, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and so much more.
And if you’re wondering why she’s such a huge Boston Celtics fan, you’ve come to the right place.
Long is the fiancée of Celtics coach Ime Udoka, so of course she’s rooting him on so hard. Per NBC Sports: “Long and Udoka met in 2010 while Udoka was an assistant for the San Antonio Spurs and have a son, Kez Sunday Udoka, who was born in 2011. They got engaged in 2015, although Long said in 2020 she doesn’t plan on getting married in the near future.”
She’s his biggest fan on Twitter:
