Basketball fans will be treated to a matchup fit for an NBA Finals, as LeBron James' Lakers take on Stephen Curry's Warriors in a clash of two of the game's greatest-ever stars.
Bron and Steph have had their run-ins over the years. And more often than not, fireworks have followed; from that remarkable 2016 Finals to the 2021 Play-In game, Curry and James always seem to deliver when the lights are at their brightest.
Don't expect to see an empty seat in either arena, either. Crypto.com Arena and Chase Center were made for matchups like this, forged right as the game took over the fertile ground that is California.
So, how much will a ticket set you back? Well, that's a loaded question. With an even more loaded answer.
