The most serious Lakers fan may actually reside in Dubai of all places.
Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Dubai’s resident number one Los Angeles Lakers fan, heard that Nick Young was opting out of his contract with the Lakers in order to test free agency. Distraught over the idea of losing an irrationally confident three point gunner, Sulayem took out some billboards and had them placed all around Staples Center. The billboard in question is fantastic.

I’m not sure which is better: the image of “stay” being engraved in teeth or the totally unnecessary and redundant “#hashtagp” social media call to arms.
If Swaggy P does return to the Lakers, he should give a shout out to Sulayem. There may be no bigger gesture of support for Nick Young to return to the Lakers than this.
