Fans commented on the Green Bay Packers star’s peculiar seating arrangements.
Here are some of the reactions from NBA Twitter:
There has been no reported feud between the two players. In fact, in April this year, fans saw the two of them seated courtside together and cheering on the Milwaukee Bucks.
Rodgers was seen sitting next to Mallory Edens, heir of one of the Bucks’ primary owners. Notably, Aaron Rodgers is also one of the minority owners of the franchise.
Back in 2019, Aaron Rodgers was challenged by another teammate, David Bakhtiari to chug a beer while at a Bucks’ playoff game. The two were seemingly sitting separately at the game as well.
Aaron Rodgers is a source of inspiration for a certain Lakers player
For the Lakers, however, Anthony Davis was happy with Aaron Rodger’s presence. He had previously said that the Packers and Rodgers were a motivating factor for him on the court.

Davis, an avid Packers fan, said that watching Rodgers play, and seeing the team “screaming and flexing” fueled his drive to play better. “Just trying to dominate” became his mantra. AD said this two weeks ago over the Los Angeles Lakers‘ win against the Brooklyn Nets.
It seems like Davis understood the significance of his role. “Especially with LeBron James out, many guys lean on me to try to get the job done,” he added.

After tonight’s game, the two caught up with some light banter. Rodgers said he had asked Davis to get 30 points, not 40. Davis ended the night with 44 points and led the Lakers to a 133-129 win. LeBron James finished with 28 points, 11 assists, and 8 rebounds.
For the Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo dropped 40 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists. But it wasn’t enough in the end as the Lakers improved their record to 9-12 for the season while the Bucks are 15-6 after the latest loss.
