Anyone who thought Nick Young, D’Angelo Russell, and Brandon Ingram were going to be the Los Angeles Lakers’ only representatives at NBA All-Star Weekend in New Orleans were wrong. A few of the Lakers’ bench players also got a chance to show a national audience their stuff.
Lakers reserves Metta World Peace and Lou Williams also got to show off their off the court skills on TNT’s NBA Talent show on Saturday, with both deciding to drop bars (video courtesy of TNT):

I, for one, think the Lakers need to put something like this on for the whole team. What skill would Marcelo Huertas bring out? How about Ivica Zubac? I have no idea, but I’d love to find out. Spectrum Sportsnet and the Lakers need to make this happen ASAP.
