First, the title is the article’s headline lol not mine. Just want to make that clear since it’s awful lol.
Second, Lester is so funny lol I love that he texted Kerr just to let him know he finally got it. 😂
Kerr:
>”My pop culture references are so outdated. Speaking of which, toward the end of the [Los Angeles] Lakers [preseason] game, the Lakers had 70 in the first half and so I went down to the end of the bench and during the action, I said to the guys who were sitting, I said, ‘Guys, we’re not hitting on any of the things that we’re trying to get better with. We’re turning it over, we’re not defending anybody. We’re just trying to outscore them. It’s just Nellie Ball. This is just Nellie Ball.’ > >”And I didn’t think anything of it. And the next day, I got a text from Lester Quiñones and he had Google’d Nellie Ball and he screenshotted a picture of Nellie Ball and he goes, ‘I had to look this up, Coach. That reference went straight over my head.’ And I was like, ‘Oh my god of course it did. These guys weren’t even born when Nellie was coaching.’ So I got to start updating my pop culture.”

This is the real reason why Lester got signed 😂
It was just a bonus that he can ball.
