Game 1 of the 2014 Eastern Conference Finals and Game 1 of the 2014 Western Conference Finals have both come and gone and, so far, we've yet to see Rihanna sitting on the sidelines during either the Pacers/Heat or Spurs/Thunder series. But if we've learned anything during the 2013-14 NBA season and the 2014 NBA Playoffs, it's that Rih Rih will be making an appearance at an NBA game sometime soon. She's become a staple on the sidelines this season. In fact, she's been to so many games recently that, just last week, Jeff Van Gundy suggested that he believes Rihanna might be stalking him (sorry, JVG, she's not).
Rihanna isn't new to the NBA scene, though. Over the course of the last few seasons, she's been spotted at a number of games in cities all over the country. From Brooklyn to Los Angeles and (almost) everywhere in between, she's taken in her fair share of NBA action. So as we await her next sideline appearance (we're guessing she'll show up for Game 3 of the ECF in Miami), we decided to put together a gallery of Rihanna Sitting Courtside at NBA Games. And before you say anything…you're welcome!
