VIDEO: Lakers Fan Shows up to Kawhi Leonard and Paul George Mural Unveiling to Heckle Clippers
By Sean Facey
The battle for Los Angeles is going to be one heck of a show this year. The in-town rivalry between the Lakers and Clippers was given new life when the Clippers landed both Paul George and Kawhi Leonard in the offseason. And in the spirit of competition, a committed Lakers fan showed up to the unveiling of a mural featuring the two new superstars to heckle the Clippers.
You can't help but admire the commitment of this guy. He's taking his duties as a Lakers fan very seriously with this trash talk. And with the two teams set to battle it out for Western Conference supremacy next year, it's hard not to get excited by the newfound passion of the two fanbases.
He didn't get personal and he didn't get vulgar. He just showed up for some good old-fashioned mouthing off.
There was a Lakers fan that showed up and started heckling, called the Clippers mural graffiti. “This is a Lakers’ zip code.” Said Clips we’re gonna end up in Seattle. Honestly, not bad trash talk to kick things off.

Time will tell if his team is able to back up his words, but there's no doubt that the two teams and their fanbases will be put on quite a show each time they meet in the upcoming season.
