While Boston won an archi-crucial Game 5 on the floor of the Heat, there were, as often, very beautiful people on the courtside. This Wednesday, the French contingent was also particularly represented with the presence of three stars of the French football team. The class.
Jayson Tatum had recalled the importance of winning Game 5 which he considered decisive, and he did so. Author of 22 points, 12 rebounds and 9 assists to complete Jaylen Brown’s 25 units, the Boston All-Star responded to carry the Celtics to a very small NBA Finals game. A boss perf for JT, who also helped put out a Heat that was too uninspired offensively (only 80 points scored, including 13 for Butler and… 0 for Lowry).
Miami might however count on the support of nearly 20,000 fans at the FTX Arena, as well as a few VIPs in the front row. Among them ? A skewer of international French: Paul Pogba, Jules Koundé and Aurélien Tchouaméni.
The 3 French people noticed in Miami
All three orange ball enthusiasts, the 3 friends have decided to come and enjoy the playoffs as closely as possible. Like Antoine Griezmann, “La Pioche” and his friends are among the biggest basketball fans among French footballers, and Pogba has even developed a real friendship with Jimmy Butler over the years. This is not his first visit to Vice City, and Buckets does not hide his affection for the former Juve player. The proof :

Finally, remember that in addition to loving basketball, Paul Pogba practices it. And for a soccer player, his handles are pretty clean, aren’t they?

Heat supporter Paul Pogba must have been disappointed to see his team deliver such an uninspiring performance in such a crucial game. Perhaps the tricolor’s imminent change of club, leaving Manchester United, will bring luck back to his side!
