JAMES GOLDSTEIN: BALLER<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

James Goldstein<\/strong>\u00a0is one of those people you always see around, but you don\u2019t really know what he does. Fans who watch the NBA religiously see him sitting courtside every season.<\/p>\n

Editors, publicists, and stylists have seen him sitting front row at fashion shows for the past 30 years.<\/p>\n

\"\" To the NBA, he’s the courtside super fan who’s traveled to thousands of games. To fashionistas, he’s an over-the-top fop, a style symbol. To lovers of LA architecture, he’s the guardian of the renowned Sheats-Goldstein house, built in 1963 by architect John Lautner and used in music videos and movies–most memorably in Joel and Ethan Coen’s\u00a0The Big Lebowski.<\/a> His business card is twice the size of\u00a0an ordinary business card, but that’s in keeping with James Goldstein’s outsized life.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nHe’s become something of a cult figure and has even been featured in French Vogue and\u00a0been profiled in Interview magazine<\/a>. He is the king of in a bizarro-land of his own making. \"\"<\/p>\n

Dwyane Wade celebrated his 31st birthday on the day of an away game against the Lakers, strolling into the Staples Center wearing a Clipper-red suit by the edgy young British designer A. Sauvage. But it wasn’t the nouveau Savile Row threads that NBA fashion heads clucked over on Twitter: It was the T-shirt underneath, emblazoned with the crinkly visage of Jimmy Goldstein.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lakers antagonist,\u00a0Big Lebowski\u00a0<\/em>trivia answer, and longtime NBA courtside fashion icon, Goldstein can be spotted like a neon-fur trimmed\u00a0Where’s Waldo\u00a0<\/em>in Versace at every Lakers or Clipper game throughout the regular season and most big play-off series come spring. \u00a0Forget the Dos Equis dude, Goldstein might just be the most interesting man in the world.
