Lakers host family picnic day: James Scissorhands grinning Prince boldly plays python crocodile

On October 22, Beijing time, the Lakers officially posted a picture of the team's family picnic day, James wearing a T-shirt of Space Slam Dunk 2, scissorhands grinning at the camera, and his teammates were also happy to participate in the event. Before the road game against the Nuggets in the opener, Lakers players enjoyed leisure time and relaxed.

The most eye-catching photo is Lakers signing Prince. After training, Hamm had officially announced the starting lineup for the opening game, with Prince becoming the fifth starter, joining James, Davis, Reeves and Russell. At the picnic day, Prince showed his bold side, let the black python hang around his neck, and also picked up a white crocodile.

With such a ferocious animal, not every player has the guts to get up close. When Prince picked up the white crocodile, his thick eyebrows just looked on the side. More teammates still have contact with gentle animals.

Vincent crouched down to take a photo with a small white horse wearing the No. 23 Lakers jersey. Hayes and Reeves also led the little white horse and smiled. The little white horse also cooperates with raising its front hooves, and the picture is quite warm.

Russell came to the scene with his one-year-old son in his arms. Earlier, Hamm said he believed Russell could play an explosive season. During the offseason and preseason scouting, he eventually beat Vincent to become the starting point guard.

The Lakers will fly to Denver next to prepare for the regular-season opener. It was a meaningful game, and witnessing an opponent host a championship ring presentation ceremony at home was a big motivator for the Lakers. Last season, the Nuggets also swept the Lakers 4-0 in the Western Conference finals, so if they can beat the Nuggets away from home and become a spoiler, I believe James and Thick Eyebrows will be very happy. The game will be played on October 25 at 7:30 a.m. Beijing time, which is also the first NBA regular season game of the 2023-24 season.
