Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Anthony Kiedis Attends Lakers Game with Flea, Gets Thrown Out
Anyone who’s listened to a Red Hot Chili Peppers album knows that Anthony Kiedis is close with Los Angeles, and this weekend the frontman proved that this fact still holds true, even when the city of angels is being represented by a transplant basketball player who’s best known for playing in Boston and who started an on-court brawl on Saturday night by spitting in the face of a player who’s better than him.
As Consequence of Sound reports, Kiedis—and his RHCP bandmate Flea—were enjoying some court-side seats while watching the new-look Lakers take on the Houston Rockets at the Staples Center, when a fight broke out, starting with the Lakers’ Rajon Rondo spitting on the Rockets’ Chris Paul. This, apparently, got the Chili Peppers singer pretty damn red-hot, and he gave Paul an earful when the player was led past Kiedis’ seat.
How you gonna throw out a LA Legend? Anthony Kiedis a real one too.

Kiedis also had some words (and a choice hand gesture) for some guy that appears to be part of the Rockets’ staff, all of which ended up with Kiedis being escorted out of the building. Anthony’s got your back, LA, and don’t forget it.
Flea apparently wasn’t as incensed as his bandmate, but it sounds like he had a great time at the game, as the bassist later posted a picture of him and Kiedis at the game on Instagram, along with a very nice caption: “At the lakers game last night with my dear brother. It Got crazy at the end, but man I get so satisfied, deeply drinking in the depth and beauty of the game. People operating at a high level in so many dimensions. Cerebral, physical, spiritual, emotional, unspoken and telepathic communication.”
