Emma Stone Loves The NBA!
In June 2021 during an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Stone talked about her love of the NBA and how it began. DeGeneres asked Stone if she's a big basketball fan after being spotted at a Lakers' game just a week prior.
"I've always loved basketball. I watched 'The Last Dance' with Michael Jordan, the Michael Jordan documentary, and that just, something flipped, in my brain and body and I was like, this is the most incredible sport," she said. "So now I'm a next-level Suns fan. I'm from Phoenix."
Since she was just spotted at a Lakers game, DeGeneres asked if she's a Suns fan over a Lakers fan and she said, "Oh, very, very much so. Yes, very much so."
