Julius Randle Honors Mom with Lakers Jersey

Julius Randle, the 7th round draft pick is ready to work hard and rep the purple and gold with the LA Lakers and his mom with the number 30 on his jersey!

The University of Kentucky college basketball players life has changed forever since he is the newest baller to join the Lakers. The Kobe Bryant childhood fan has landed his dream team.

CelebNMusic247.com is reporting on the new edition to the Laker organization who had his introductory news conference at the Los Angeles Lakers’ training facility Monday. Julius has worn his mother’s number since he started playing basketball and is able to continue with the Lakers. The number 30 was his mothers number when she played basketball.

Randle sat down next to the Lakers’ Spanish TV play-by-play announcer, Adrian Garcia Marquez, for a fun interview on the team’s Spanish-language regional network.

Garcia Marquez adds punch to his broadcasts with emphatic nicknames for the Lakers’ top players, none done with higher energy than “El Macho” for main man Kobe Bryant. Garcia Marquez already had a nickname all lined up for the smooth, older-looking-than-his-years Lakers draft pick: “Don Julio.”

Garcia Marquez asked Randle to read some one-liners in Spanish using his new nickname, including this awesome one:

“No Dwight, Don Julio es tu padre.”
