Singer Olivia O'Brien Identified As Fan Who Went Viral In A Low Cut Top During Nuggets-Lakers Playoff Game
The Los Angeles Lakers snapped an 11-game losing streak against the defending champion Denver Nuggets on Saturday night with a 119-108 win. In doing so, they also avoided a first-round sweep.
Despite the Game 4 win, and by most accounts, the delaying of the inevitable series loss, there was other news from the game that grabbed social media's attention. A fan in a low cut top.
Similar to the fan falling out of her top that made a Steph Curry photo go viral earlier this year, a fan at the Lakers game ended up grabbing some camera time. She was seen passing by in the background of a shot of Nuggets head coach Michael Malone.
That image was all the internet detectives needed to crack the case. On Sunday, the mystery fan from the night before had been identified.
She's 24-year-old singer Olivia O'Brien.
While she may not have been known to basketball fans prior to last night, she has millions of followers between her Instagram and TikTok accounts before going viral.
Olivia O'Brien Had Quite The Introduction To Basketball Fans On Social Media
In fact, it was O'Brien's social media activity from her floor seats at the game that helped to identify her as the camera time-stealing fan.
Unfortunately, O'Brien's brief appearance is likely to go down as one of Los Angeles' few highlights from the series. The teams are back in Denver on Monday night and the Lakers have their work cutout for them if they hope to push the series to 3-2.
A younger LeBron James might be able to overcome a 3-1 deficit against the best team in the league led by the best player in the league. But at 39, that seems highly unlikely.
Whether the Lakers pick up another win in the series or suffer a gentleman's sweep tomorrow night, they'll always have the Game 4 performance by LeBron, who led the team with 30 points, and by O'Brien who provided the unplanned off the court entertainment.
