#LakerNation Tweets of the Week!

Found February 16, 2013 on Laker Nation:
PLAYERS: Lil Wayne,  Will Ferrell,  Paula Abdul,  Jerry Buss,  Gregg Popovich
TEAMS: Los Angeles Lakers
Even though it has been a short Laker week due to All Star break, it was definitely an eventful one. Twitter had a lot to say about the big losses to the Heat and Clippers and the win against the Suns. They was also a lot of talk about a security guard at a recent home game. Here are Laker Nation’s Tweets of the Week! Lil Wayne claimed he was kicked out for being a Laker fan at the game against the Heat. Was it not the sizzurp Weezy? (Laker Nation has no evidence of Lil Wayne possessing sizzurp at the American Airlines Arena) SLAMonline.com: Lil’ Wayne Was Kicked Out of the Lakers/Heat Game bit.ly/VOrTw6 — SLAM Magazine (@SLAMonline) February 10, 2013 Reunited and it feels so goooood. #GoLakers RT @duransports: Shaq making Kobe laugh before Lakers game twitter.com/DuranSports/st… — Los Angeles Lakers (@Lakers) February 13, 2013 That security guard looks a lot like Ron Burgundy. Will Ferrell now works as STAPLES Center red coat security. twitter.com/KamPashai/stat… — Kam Pashai (@KamPashai) February 13, 2013 Photographic proof of this is greatly appreciated. To show his comittment to LA, Dwight joked he will wear Lakers thong next game — Beto Duran (@DuranSports) February 13, 2013 Morgan, I’m not sure you’d be able to stomach some of the lengths Laker Nation would go to for tickets. I think I have some self-respect but I just threw up thinking about the things I’d do for courtside seats at the Lakers/Clippers game. — Morgan Murphy (@morgan_murphy) February 15, 2013 Who knew Flea and Khloe share the same type?! The clippers have 2 of my least favorite lakers ever, Barnes and butler, and one of my alltime favorite lakers the beautiful Lamar odom — Flea (@flea333) February 15, 2013 Ok, the idea of Mike D’Antoni even knowing what twerking is, is hilarious. D’antoni and Nash appeared to be arguing with the ref about what does and does not constitute twerking. — netw3rk (@netw3rk) February 15, 2013 Disney Channel star Zendaya Coleman had a positive outlook on the loss to the Clippers. The magic of Disney! Just left lakers game, @kobebryant dude….beast
