Playing for the Los Angeles Lakers is a dream for most NBA players, as the Purple and Gold are tied for winning the most titles in the history of the league. On top of that, the Lakers are situated in one of the biggest markets in the country, and it is a huge attraction for free agents.

Evidently, the Los Angeles Lakers have a star-studded roster featuring the likes of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. But apart from having superstar players on the roster, having great fans makes games even more enjoyable. Sometimes these fans are even family members of the said Lakers players.


NBA Fans Make Smart Guesses About Fathers Of Two Los Angeles Lakers Players

Players celebrating milestones with their family members is nothing new. One of its examples was when LeBron James dropped 50 points last season and celebrated with his mother Gloria.

Anyway, in the Lakers’ recent game, it wasn’t James’ family who showed up to the game. Instead, it was the fathers of Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis who were caught on camera by a fan.

Although the two men resemble quite a lot with Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis, the Instagram page still asked fans about who these Laker fathers were. Well, here’s how NBA fans responded to the question.

viktok.munkhammar: AD and Westbrook, AD is pretty obvious and if you look at Westbrooks father and the brand he is wearing (honor the gift, aka westbrooks brand) then we solved the case.

marcosworldnyc: That “Street clothes”dad.

ericknodenim: Before I read the comments I thought that was nunn and darvins dads .

nbatradecenter: AD and Russ, the resemblance is clear.

old_as_dirt_136: ADs dad looks like AD after partying with Dennis Rodman in Vegas for a month .

bigpoppa355_: I mean AD father literally looks exactly like him there was definitely no DNA test at all needed ..thats 100% him.

qabonehaver: AD‘s father looks younger than AD.

dread_hokage: Russ pops is the one with the white on but idk who the other OG father is.

its_just_dyll: You can tell tha the one dude is ADs dads off the rip, i did have to come to the comments for the second one tho but now it makes sense they even carry themselves the same, walk and everything.

drdepozzi: I thought it was Nunn at first but then I looked both of them in the face and I saw it was AD and Russ. Russ makes that face a lot during games (though it’s more exaggerated).

Most fans instantly connected the dots about Anthony Davis’ father, but it was Westbrook’s father that confused them. Many thought he was Kendrick Nunn’s father at first, but after a closer look, they made that connection as well.
