Loud ‘We want Robbie (Avila)’ chants in Las Vegas.
Fans with the famous Wilt Chamberlain photo holding a paper written ‘100’ (points) on it, except his head is replaced with Robbie, and it says ‘Got milk?’ instead of ‘100’.
If anyone is wondering who the guy with alopecia sitting next to Avila is, that is Jacari White. 23 years old, undrafted in this year’s class.
Was curious, did some googling, and bro, his story is amazing. Rough life (alopecia since 7 years old, grandparents passed away, parents separated, living in car and YMCA while his father tried his best to make a living for them both as a machine operator at a warehouse, etc.) but now he is here and I hope he gets more opportunities. He will be going overseas for a year.
I thought Jordan Walsh was a Laker now for some reason and panicked. Cool story, thank you for sharing.
I genuinely thought it was Josh Dobbs. Amazing story, good for him.
The astronaut himself
I thought Charlie Villanueva was making a comeback
gotta say the “got milk?” part is kinda wild for a basketball chant
Avila has the funniest nick names I’ve heard in a while. Cream Abdul-Jabbar, Milk Chamberlain, Krispy Kareem, Tim Duncan Donuts. They’re all bangers.
Kevin McPale, Shaquille Oatmeal
He’ll get adopted by Larry David for sure!
damn two nba players with alopecia?
Is this some bot spreading Jacari White propaganda? Or are you his parent or something? Nobody gives af about some scrub summer league player sitting on the bench. There’s a reason he doesn’t have a contract and is sitting on the summer league bench - he’s about to learn Chinese or linkedin.
You clankers are out of control.
The fuck…did he fuck your mum or something
We all fucked his mom on this blessed day
Sheesh tf you got against White and a mildly interesting comment? It’s not like the post is important breaking news anyway
You must be easily amused.
Indeed. You should try it. Cynicism and apathy just make you in a bad mood. But you do you angry man
why would their be bot propoganda about a random dude on the bench during the sunmer league?
Why else would he be brought up?
woah. the obvious answer is because its a neat piece of information and an interesting comment?
Genuine question: do you ever talk to people outside of social media? people share barely related facts or make offhanded observations all the time in conversation. like that is the most normal behavior. that you think its only explainable as a conspiracy by some random dude who isnt even in the NBA is genuinely so bizarre to me. How on earth is that the first conclusion you come to?
Nobody gives a fuck about this random summer league bench player 😂😂
Are you another one of his family members or something?
Tell him to start learning Chinese or linkedin.
if no one gives a fuck then why would there be a whole bot campaign? genuinely think there’s something wrong with you on, like, a developmental level for how ur reacting
Hey Bronny, Robbie Avila is here. We’re all good, bro. You can go.
I took my dogs for a walk at the park today like I always do, but something funny happened. Two ducks took notice and decided to follow us, walking about 5-10 feet behind quacking along. They followed us for at least a quarter mile until we got to the car. Then they stood there and watched us get in the car.
I took a walk with my dogs and some silly ducks today and it made me happy. That’s how I feel about Robbie Avila being and NBA player. Hope this kid makes it.
W story
I actually think he will do ok in the G League. He has like the worst possible game to showcase at summer league.
Is your dog pure bread by chance?
Hell yeah, ducks are cool
Man nothing hits like Laker random draft pick hype. Dudes will really have you thinking he got next just for you to never see them play any meaningful basketball.
His hype has nothing to do with the Lakers and everything to do with being a goofy white dude who’s team made a tourney run. He’s on an exhibit 10 deal and has barely gotten minutes thus far
he was a phenomenon even before that, lol. pretty sure I saw Cream Abdul Jabbar jokes in 2024.
just exhibit 10 contract
What are we even complaining about here? Fans finding reasons to get excited about their team and the summer league? Would you rather they play infront of six scouts and a dog in an unnamed gym?
I honestly didn’t view them as complaining. I thought they were saying it was endearing behavior.
This is what they said about Caruso and Reaves.
He wasn’t drafted…
Lakers really have some 30 something year old unc wearing 40 🤣
Jon Elmore. Dude balled at Marshall. Only player in college history to have a 2500 points and 750 assists. C-USA all time leader in both. Not very good at defense
SLU legend!
