While the Los Angeles Lakers are professional athletes, they also have their personal aspects of life to reflect upon. It is preposterous for some fans to think of these athletes as human beings, resonating with their lives. However, for rookie forward Brandon Ingram, it is hard not to ponder about his hometown.
Ingram grew up in Kinston, North Carolina, which is relatively close to the Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately, the East Coast is suffering from the wrath of Hurricane Matthew. The city has suffered from vicious floods, which stems from the banks of the Neuse River.
Kinston also fell victim to Hurricane Fran in 1996 and Hurricane Floyd in 1999.
