There is no doubt that the Lakers’ future relies heavily of the success on D’Angelo Russell and Brandon Ingram. The two second-overall picks in the past two years are the face of the Lakers’ franchise. So, there is no surprise to see Russell and Ingram share time in the new NBA 2K17 trailer.
Russell is already an up and coming star in the NBA. He has the personality and confident to be special in the NBA. The trailer shows Russell’s signature celebration, “Ice in my veins.” Lakers Outsiders’ own Grant Golberg took some screenshots of Russell’s celebration.

Captured here is also Russell’s hotline bling celebration about his breakout performance against the Kings.
Brandon Ingram is the prized reward for the Lakers this offseason. The 18-year-old forward out of Duke University is the youngest player on the Lakers. Ingram is known for his length and versatility.
