The 86-year-old wore loose maroon pants and a black tee paired with a black blazer as he sat wirth his son Ray, and watched his beloved team beat the second-seed Grizzlies 125-85 to end the series after six games. The Lakers, who were seeded seventh, will now play the winners of the series between the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors.

Oscar winner Jack now lives an off-grid life despite living in the middle of Beverly Hills, in the Mulholland Drive compound. Jack acquired the property from the late actor Marlon Brando back for $5million in a deal which was completed in 2005. The impressive estate spans 3,303 square feet and features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a pool.
