Travis and Jason Kelce took over an NBA game on Wednesday.

The famous Kelce brothers also helped guide the Cleveland Cavaliers to an historic 22-point comeback and received a standing ovation while sitting courtside.

It was another big night for Travis and Jason, and it was all set up by Jason’s emotional retirement from the NFL.

“Honestly, when the Kelce brothers started hyping up the crowd, we knew we could do it,” Cleveland center Jarrett Allen said.

The Kelces, who are from Cleveland Heights, Ohio, were honored with their own bobblehead.

They also had beers hand-delivered by a mascot, then proceeded to quickly down the cold beverages.

Throw in TNT covering the Kelce’s NBA appearance and the Cavs crediting the brothers for a gritty 105-104 victory over the Boston Celtics, and it was a banner night for Taylor Swift‘s boyfriend and a 13-year veteran who went viral by going shirtless in the stands during an NFL playoff game.

“In person, I look way better than expected,” Jason told ESPN, describing his bobblehead.

“Thank you for making me look good,” Travis joked.

Jason was the center of attention, receiving a special golden Cavs basketball and mask.

Of course, Travis put the wrestling-style mask on to the joy of Swifties across the globe.

A lengthy Jumbotron video tribute was unveiled in Jason’s honor and a standing ovation followed, once again letting one of the most popular players in recent NFL history know how much fans appreciate his workman-like personality and real-world vibe.

Jason won a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles and could enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

But he’s also a big Cavs fan and the Kelce brothers received another life highlight on Wednesday, inspiring Cleveland to a big comeback win over the team with the best record in the NBA.

The Cavaliers pulled it off without All-Star Donovan Mitchell, as they ended Boston’s 11-game winning streak and set a record for the largest fourth-quarter comeback in franchise history.

Throw in a shoutout from Cavs reserve forward Dean Wade, who scored 23 points on 8-of-11 shooting and grabbed eight rebounds, and it’s clear the Kelces should sit courtside more often in The Association.

“He (Travis) said if basketball didn’t work out for me, I could be a backup tight end,” said Wade, who grew up in Kansas and is a huge Chiefs fan.

“I got good hands. That was just awesome. Pretty cool.”

Cleveland improved to 40-21 with the victory.

The Cavs are in third place in the East, eight games behind the Celtics as the NBA playoffs approach.
