Several celebrities were spotted courtside at Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat. The Nuggets are looking to take a commanding 3-1 series lead, while the Heat are trying to even the series at 2-2.

The stars were out at the Kaseya Center in Miami on Friday night. There were perhaps not as many celebrities in the first two games of the NBA Finals in Denver. That all changed when the series switched to South Beach.

Here are five celebrities spotted in Game 4:

#1 Neymar Jr.

The Paris Saint Germain soccer star is in Miami for a few days now, and he was also in attendance for Game 3.

Neymar Jr. is a huge basketball fan, while Jimmy Butler of the Heat is a fan of PSG. The Brazilian superstar is fulfilling his promise to Butler that he would attend the NBA Finals if Miami reached it.

#2 Paul Pogba

Another soccer star in attendance for Game 4 is Paul Pogba. The Juventus midfielder is also a huge basketball fan and has seen plenty of NBA games over the years. He's coming off a terrible season in Italy however, due to several muscle injuries.

#3 Vinicius Jr.

Perhaps the next big Brazilian soccer star once Neymar Jr. retires, Vinicius Jr. has been a revelation for Real Madrid this season.

He's expected to reach new heights of superstardom next season, as Karim Benzema has left the club for Saudi Arabia.

#4 Forest Whitaker

The Academy Award-winning actor is not just a fan of the NBA but also a partner. He's one of several strategic investors for NBA Africa, as announced by the league two years ago.

#5 Chris Tucker

The 'Air' and 'Rush Hour' actor has been a staple at NBA games over the years. Chris Tucker has also joined several programs like 'Inside the NBA' and NBA TV to discuss his love for basketball.

One of the few stars in Denver for the NBA Finals was actor and comedian Ken Jeong. He was present at Game 1 and cheered for the Nuggets despite being a fan of the LA Lakers.

Jeong was even invited to entertain the crowd at half-time when Rocky the Mountain Lion asked him to take a half-court shot. It went terribly for the 'Community' actor, as his shot barely made it near the rim.

Apart from Jeong, some of the celebrities in attendance over the first two games in Denver were Russell Wilson, Peyton Manning and Sean Payton.

Wilson and Payton are the current Denver Broncos QB and head coach, respectively, while Manning helped the Broncos win the Super Bowl in 2016.
