It’s not uncommon to see celebrities from one field supporting another every once in a while. It’s usually easy to find players from one sport on the court of another one. And the recent appearance of MLB star Mookie Betts at an NBA game only proves it right. The 30-year-old attended a game between the LA Lakers and Dallas Mavericks, supporting his favorite city.

Having played for the Dodgers and Red Sox, Betts has been one of the finest players in the MLB world over the last few years. But since Major League Baseball is going through its off-season, the Dodgers slugger extended his support to LeBron James and the Lakers.

What can’t Mookie Betts do?

A person can only have so much skill as an athlete. But Betts has proved everyone wrong and is actually skilled at four sports. Somehow his skills in baseball aren’t enough, because the outfielder is also an avid basketball player himself. However, it isn’t a simple hobby, he’s actually very talented. Last October, Betts was seen shooting hoops at the University of Memphis and fans were impressed.

And now, when he made his appearance at the Lakers game, NBA fans were kind enough to ask Betts to play for the Lakers. Notably, the Lakers are not having their best season this year. Twitter users poked some good-natured fun at the Lakers and said they might actually need the MLB star’s talent right now.

From the looks of it, Betts could have chosen any sport and excelled at it. But fans are glad he stuck with baseball. After all, even his initials stand for MLB.

Betts is an all-rounder

When it comes to baseball, it’s easy to see the talent Betts displays on the field. He has numerous titles to his name and is a beloved player among fans. But in addition to this, the outfielder is also a pro at bowling. He has been playing the game since childhood and even bowled a perfect game in the World Series of Bowling in 2017.

Overall, Mookie Betts has bowled three perfect games and set a record at his high school. In 2010, he was named the Tennessee Boys Bowler of the Year.
