Quinn Cook said that getting a chance play for the Los Angeles Lakers is a dream come true for him.

He told that Alex Kennedy of HoopsHype that his father was a huge Lakers fan, which made the entire family root for Los Angeles back then.
“Anybody who knows me well or anybody who I spent time with as a kid knows how much the Lakers meant to my dad and meant to me when I was growing up,” Cook said. “My dad was always a fan and I was basically born into it. When I was young and learning about basketball, the Lakers were winning a bunch of championships.”
