With their 115-100 victory over the L.A. Clippers on Wednesday night at Staples Center, the 2017-18 season for rookie shooting guard Josh Hart and his Los Angeles Lakers teammates is officially in the books after a 35-47 campaign.
The rookie shooting guard from Villanova closed the regular season out with a bang and had career-highs in both points with 30 and three-pointers made with seven on the night. Additionally, the awesome shirt he chose to wear after the game of Lakers teammate Ivica Zubac and former teammate Larry Nance Jr. made its way onto social media.
Bob Garcia IV of SportsOutWest kindly uploaded a photo of Hart's t-shirt to Twitter after the game, which shows Nance Jr. holding the hand of a child that hilariously resembles Zubac.

You've absolutely got to love stuff like this, especially considering the Cleveland Cavaliers' Nance Jr. is still very close to Hart and his former Lakers teammates.
Here is an even better all-around angle of Hart's epic shirt, which was posted in a video on Twitter by Shanan Ahmed of NBC Los Angeles and can be viewed below.

Aside from his Lakers teammate and fellow rookie power forward Kyle Kuzma, the 23-year old Hart also had a very impressive first year in the league after being selected at the end of the first round of the 2017 NBA Draft.
Hart played in 63 games this season for the Lakers, but his best numbers came when he was inserted into the starting lineup. In 23 starts for Los Angeles, Hart averaged a solid 13.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.0 steals per game in about 31.9 minutes of action per contest.
