The Cleveland Cavaliers had two special guests at their game against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday — Jason and Travis Kelce.
The brothers, who are from Cleveland Heights, Ohio, were in attendance for their bobblehead night giveaway and sat courtside. Both are avid fans of the Cavaliers.
The figurine included tiny versions of themselves in Cleveland’s statement jerseys. They wore the same jerseys to the game and offered their approval pregame.
“In person, I look way better than expected,” Jason said.

Travis enjoyed that the bobblehead has him spinning a basketball on his finger, something he said he can’t do.
“Thank you for making me look good,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said.
The Cavaliers also paid tribute to Jason, who announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday after a 13-year career with the Philadelphia Eagles. They presented him with a custom framed No. 62 jersey, and fans gave a standing ovation.

The brothers also received more Cavaliers-themed gear with a bedazzled basketball and a luchador mask, similar to the one Jason wore while celebrating with Travis after Kansas City’s Super Bowl LVIII win.
