Last Sunday night in Los Angeles, asthe Lakerswere closing out their regular season against the Jazz, the broadcast cameras landed on two guys courtside who looked like they didn’t belong — and somehow belonged more than anyone else in the building.
Their names are Brandon Taylor and Tom Biddle, and they are not celebrities. Not yet. They’re just two content creators from Indianapolis who showed up courtside to the game dressed asLeBron JamesandLuka Doncic.

Tom, better known online as “Popcorn with Tom,” does look uncannily like Doncic. The height, the facial hair, the haircut, if you see him from a distance you might do a double-take.
Brandon, who goes by the online name of “Young Mantis,”… well, let’s just say his LeBron impression relies a lot more on inner confidence than actual accuracy.
In addition to the broadcast cameras, the Lakers’ in-house camera crew spotlighted them. They included them in their “Fan of the Game” contest. They made it down to the final two. But they lost to a young Lakers fan instead.

“It stuck with me that we didn’t win the Fan of the Game,” Tom told The California Post in an exclusive interview Saturday. “So we decided to upgrade our seats to get more of an advantage tonight.”
Upgraded is one way to put it. The pair is sitting next to the Rockets’ bench for Game 1 of the NBA playoff series and even got up close and personal with LeBron and his son, Bronny, during pregame warmups.
