A young Los Angeles Lakers fan in Tennessee perfected his pregame routine just in time for the NBA playoffs on Saturday, April 18.
This footage taken by Walter Burch IV shows Burch’s son, Luke, carefully setting up a Lakers jersey display below their family’s television set in Franklin, Tennessee, the day before the NBA playoffs were scheduled to kick off.
“My son, Luke, loves the Lakers more than anyone I know. His favorite player is Austin Reaves,” said Burch. “My wife got my attention as he was carefully preparing his Lakers shrine in preparation for the playoffs.”
The NBA playoffs began on Sunday, April 19, with the Lakers leading the series against the Rockets 3-2, according to the NBA website. Credit: Walter Burch IV via Storyful
