It wasn’t hard to be captivated by the fast-paced first quarter of Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night, but somehow analyst Jeff Van Gundy got distracted.

Near the end of the first quarter, Cleveland Cavaliers’ forward LeBron James dunked over Golden State’s JaVale McGee.

“I don’t know about this, but Rihanna just walked in front of me. Are you kidding me?” Van Gundy said on ABC’s broadcast.

Rihanna was in Oakland on Thursday night supporting the Cavaliers.
