Look: Isaiah Thomas and Floyd Mayweather courtside for Lonzo's debut
Before the Big Baller Brand and Lonzo Ball can overtake Los Angeles, it looks like Las Vegas will be the first city on their hit list.
The Thomas & Mack Center was packed Friday night for the summer-league debut of Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonzo Ball, with the event quite the star-studded affair.
Most notably, boxer Floyd Mayweather and Boston Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas were spotted courtside. Newly acquired Los Angeles Clippers Patrick Beverley and Sam Dekker were also in attendance.

Even prior to tipoff, the sizable crowd began swelling into the upper deck of the near 20,000-person Thomas & Mack Center.
Thomas and Mack is as full as I've seen it. Third deck is starting to fill in as we are around 10 minutes from Lonzo Ball's debut. pic.twitter.com/K6icC8Tcgk
