In the recent episode of ?The Rich Eisen Show?, Actor and rapper O?Shea Jackson said that Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving should have been playing for the Los Angeles Lakers.?Jackson is a huge Lakers fan, and he showed it off with his outfit during the show. When Rich Eisen asked him whether he supports the Golden State Warriors, he said that he supports California. Jackson also said that he doesn?t mind if the Warriors win the title.?
He said that the Warriors are not a threat to the Lakers’ championship record of 17. The Warriors have won 6 NBA titles so far and are on the hunt for their 7th. On the other hand, the Boston Celtics have won 17 titles as well. So Jackson doesn?t want them to win the title this year, like every Lakers fan.
