“My jump shot is too beautiful to not be making any threes.”

The 28 points he recorded against New Orleans was his season-highest as he added 3 rebounds and an assist. Also playing their parts was Anthony Davis (20 points, 16 rebounds, and 4 assists) and an illness-battling LeBron James (20 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists)


Lonnie Walker Shares His Experience With Former Laker Pau Gasol: “He Kept My Confidence Up”

Earlier, former Los Angeles Lakers legend Pau Gasol was in attendance at the house for George Mikan’s jersey retirement, and those who have followed the Spaniard, they will know of his connection with Lonnie Walker IV.

The 23-year-old was a rookie with the San Antonio Spurs in 2018-19 and shared the locker room with Gasol, who had signed with the franchise in 2016. 

The duo connected again when the former visited the current player’s roster, and Walker relived his experiences. Per Sports Illustrated’s All Lakers:

“Once in a lifetime. Between [him] and Tim [Duncan], I’m not sure who I was more starstruck by, based off of just their history and what they have done. But having Pau around, especially when I tore my meniscus, he was one of the players that really helped me. When I was down… you know, this was my second time tearing my meniscus [in] back-to-back years, so he helped me out, he kept my confidence up, he showed me just [how to] be patient, to be ready, and take it day to day. Coming here and being a Laker, repping what he repped back in the day, it’s great… This is my fifth year in, he sees a lot of growth. But it’s great to talk to him and hear him say that he loves what I’m doing.”

Walker has been a force for the Lakers as a starter averaging 14.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.2 steals. The Purple and Gold will hope he continues spotting up big as they take on a formidable Utah Jazz on Friday (November 4) at home.
