Lakers player trying to recruit superfan Clipper Darrell to switch allegiances

Now that the Los Angeles Lakers have some star power back on the team, one of their players is trying to sway a fan to switch allegiances.

“Clipper Darrell,” a well-known Clippers superfan, made some noise when he joked online that LeBron James had called him and asked him to become a Lakers fan.

While that was just a joke, emerging Laker Kyle Kuzma said Darrell should make a change and become “Laker Darrell.” Clipper Darrell said no way.

Yo @Kuz NEVER!!! I Bleed Live & Drive Red White & Blue! How can I LEAVE my team I loved for 25 seasons!!! I have a New Segment on my Radio Show @Fan_Truth on @Dash_Radio called Loyal to the Soil this Saturday from 11am-1pm Where Fans Should Respect Fans of Other Teams!!! #LETSGO https://t.co/w4Qoxh5rkE

After many years of being the superior team in LA, the Clippers look like they’re going to return to taking a back seat to the Lakers in terms of performance. Don’t expect Clipper Darrell to jump ship after so many years of supporting the team.
