So here's a reason to enjoy the "intimacy" of NBA basketball: Guys like Irv Bauman here can, right in the middle of the action, just start talking to one of the players. Can you fathom what he might be saying to Sasha Vujacic here?

We looked up Irv — positively identified by Getty Images — and it appears he was once a co-owner of Sun Mare Health Care. He seems to have sold his share in the company just in time: Before it went out of business, but after he had enough to afford courtside Lakers tickets close enough to talk to Sasha Vujacic.

We're fairly certain these two went out hunting for chicks postgame. Better fit 'em in before you gotta head back to Boston.
