Last month, the NBA had announced Suga as a brand ambassador for the league. After that, the hoops community ardently welcomed Suga to basketball’s greatest stage. Moreover, many NBA franchises had given Suga a number 3 jersey to welcome him as the brand ambassador. The Lakers welcomed Suga in a similar fashion during the Conference semi-finals.

Suga had shown up wearing a Los Angeles Lakers jacket during the game. Besides, he was also given Anthony Davis‘ number 3 jersey. The K-Pop icon went on to take a picture with the Lakers jersey in hand. A snippet of Suga’s photo session is now doing the rounds on Twitter. NBA’s official handle has taken to Twitter with a tweet of the iconic photo session at LA. “SUGA in the building!,” NBA captioned the tweet.
Hoops fans had already seen Suga getting the jerseys of other NBA franchises. Besides, he had once posed with a Golden State Warriors jersey as well. Apparently, certain fans didn’t like Suga switching teams.

Just like other teams, the Warriors too had given their colors to Suga as an honor. Furthermore, the BTS star had posed with a Dubs’ jersey in his hand just like he did with the LA jersey in Game 6. Additionally, the Korean rapper had crossed paths with Stephen Curry in Japan and the two had clicked a picture together. Apparently, many fans took Suga for a Dubs fan back then. So the superstar posing with a Lakers jersey was a hard pill to swallow for many. “Bro switched up on gsw,” said a fan.
