Spencer Dinwiddie Gets Brutally Honest About Why He Chose the Lakers

Your Los Angeles Lakers have a new guard who goes by the name of Spencer Dinwiddie. Dinwiddie is a native of Los Angeles, and it's a dream come true for him to play for his favorite team growing up. However, the 30-year-old guard revealed those weren't the only reasons he chose LA.
