The Los Angeles Lakers is one of the most storied franchises in the NBA, the most winners tied only with the Boston Celtics as both have 17 championship titles won in their history. Because of that, the Lakers are always looking to win the championship each year, and that has been one of the things that separates them from the rest.

The newest Laker, point guard Spencer Dinwiddie has recently found a hilarious but honest metapho between LA and Dallas, as he was asked for the reason he chose to play for the purple and gold instead of the bas he met them before meeting with the Lakers GM Rob Pelinka.

Spencer Dinwiddie explains why he picked the Lakers over the Mavs: “Let’s say you’re a kid and you get your ass whupped by the bully. Dallas would have been like your mama, like, ‘It’s OK, baby.’ … Lakers are like your dad: ‘Nah, you better go out there and fight ‘til you win.’”

The Lakers had a child-size Lakers No. 26 jersey waiting for Spencer Dinwiddie’s son, Elijah, when he reported to the practice facility for the first time. And that detail is what made it all feel real for the LA native coming home.

Spencer Dinwiddie revealed why he has a $1 bonus on his contract

Spencer Dinwiddie explains the $1 contract incentive bonus if the Lakers win the championship as sort of an inside joke that he and his agent, Jason Glushon of GSM, concocted.
