PHILADELPHIA -- Corey Brewer got a phone call at 5:30 a.m. PT on Wednesday morning, hours before he was supposed to leave his Tarzana home to catch the Los Angeles Lakers team flight to Philadelphia.
His Uber driver called multiple times until the Brewer finally picked up, telling him that they had to go now if he was going to make his flight with the Los Angeles Skirball fire fast approaching the 405 freeway.
As Brewer sat in the back of his ride down the 405, the Lakers forward, like so many other horrified Los Angeles commuters that morning, couldn't believe the sight he saw.
