On hand to watch his beloved Lakers fall at the Crypto.com arena in Los Angeles was acting legend, Nicholson.

The 86-year-old, who is known for his performances in The Shining, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, and Easy Rider to name but a few, was courtside once more with binoculars in hand.

But while Nuggets stars Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray put on a show in LA, Nicholson was also one of the highlights of the evening thanks to an altercation with the Jokic brothers, Nemanja and Strahinja.

As Nicholson and his son Ray left the arena, Nemanja was spotted telling them: "Too small huh? Too small huh?" before giving them a thumbs up.

Stahinja followed this by telling them: "See you next year! Bye-bye! Bye-bye!" as he waved them off the court.

While Jack and Ray opted not to respond, the latter could be seen laughing in the clip.

By comparison, according to Vic Lombardi: "Jack was SALTY!"

And it's hard to imagine his mood will have improved over the next couple of days, as the Nuggets completed their sweep of the Lakers with a 113-111 win in Game 4 on Monday.

If that weren't bad enough for Lakers fans, it has emerged that they may have seen the last of legend LeBron James.

Postgame, the four-time NBA MVP told Bleacher Report: "I'm simply not sure if I'll be back in the fall when the season begins.

"I have a lot to think about."

As for the Jokic brothers, they'll get to watch Nikola take on either the Boston Celtics or the Miami Heat in what will be Denver's first appearance at the Finals.
