The Los Angeles Lakers are known to have one of the biggest fans bases not only in the United States, but all around the world.
Lakers gear can be seen in arenas all across the country and globe, so it comes as no surprise that former Boston Celtics executive Danny Ainge found himself on the wrong side of a heckling while doing some scouting.
According to Bleacher Report’s Mirin Fader, whose book on Antetokounmpo titled, “Giannis: The Improbable Rise of an NBA MVP,” comes out next month, Ainge was scouting current Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo in Greece leading up to him being drafted in 2013 and fans at the arena started chanting “Lakers” at him, h/t Darren Hartwell of NBC Sports:
“One of my favorite interviews was actually learning about the Celtics’ interest in Giannis and traveling to Greece,” Fader told host A.
