Ahead of his debut for the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, Reggie Bullock spoke to reporters for the first time since being traded from Detroit to L.A. on Tuesday and it sounds like he’s eager to suit up in the purple and gold.
After practice on Saturday, Bullock revealed that he was a huge Lakers fan growing up in Kinston, North Carolina.
“Kobe, when he first got there, I’ve just been a Lakers fan ever since,” Bullock said (via Lakers.com).
Bullock was just five years old when Bryant made his Lakers debut, but he had the opportunity to play against Bryant four times before he retired in 2016.
