BEST DIET FOR YOUR PRACTICE

On Thursday night, the stars were out as Denver hosted its first-ever NBA Finals game. Among the notable attendees were Ru sell Wilson and Peyton Manning, current and former Denver Broncos quarterbacks, respectively. The Broncos' new head coach Sean Payton was also in the building at Ball Arena, as was well-known actor Ken Jeong. Jeong seemed to be the guest of honor for the evening, taking the floor during a timeout to put up some halfcourt shots. The shots, however, were not the greatest, and Twitter was quick to poke fun at his uninspiring efforts. Oh no, Ken Jeong (via ) ClutchPoints (@ClutchPointsApp) Jeong, who is famous for his roles as Leslie Chow inThe Hangoverfilm series and Ben Chang in the NBC sitcomCommunity, even sent a me sage to the Nuggets before the game. We got a me sage from the one and only Denver Nuggets (@ Nate Archibald Jersey nuggets) But despite his support of Denver on Thursday night, his NBA fandom remains a little unclear. Is Ken Jeong a Nuggets fan? Jeong says he is pulling for the Nuggets in this year's NBA Finals. In an interview with Denver's Altitude Sports Radio, the actor confirmed he will be rooting for Nikola Jokic and co. in their series against the Heat. Thanks to - big guy!!! Andy Lindahl (@Andy_Lindahl) However, his connections to the Mile High City are a bit unclear. In his role as Ben Chang onCommunity, he is a resident of the fictional town of Greendale, Colorado, but there is nothing to suggest Jeong has ever lived in Colorado in real life. He and his Communityco-star Joel McHale did perform at a charity comedy show in Denver this fall at the Bellco Theater, just a few blocks away from Ball Arena.

He has been seen cheering on the Blue Devils at Cameron Indoor Stadium on a number of occasions. Ken Jeong, the Page High School & Duke alum here in attendance tonight. Amanda Ferguson (@_amandaferguson) He went on to obtain his M.D. just down the road at the University of North Carolina's School of Medicine. It created something of an awkward situation considering the fierce rivalry between the two schools, but he has always made it clear he supports the Blue Devils over the Tar Heels.

He was made an honorary captain for a game a couple of years ago and even as a po sible replacement for the retiring Kobe Bryant in 2016. Ken Jeong Ben Baller. See what they got up to as Honorary Captains. x Los Angeles Lakers (@Lakers) But following the Nuggets' sweep over the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, it seems he has thrown his support behind Denver to win it all in 2023.
