While Rob Pelinka’s greatest gift that he’s brought to the Lakers is unquestionably the title in the 2019-20 season, his second-greatest gift has been the abundance of Rob Lowe jokes made at his expense. The striking resemblance between the Lakers general manager and the longtime actor and Laker fan has led to a plethora of jokes not just on social media, but in the Lakers front office itself.
During his appearance on the “Pardon My Take” podcast, Lowe actually said that he’s the subject of many a Pelinka joke himself from none other than Lakers owner Jeanie Buss.
