Earlier in the afternoon the Laker Girls cheering squad was interviewed by local TV stations prior to the start of the program. Chiqui Reyes was the main host who welcomed the three NBA Guests on stage before they started signing autographs along with Rocky the Mountain Lion.
After signing autographs they have a photo opportunity with Dee Jae Pa’Este and his mural. Wes Matthews was delighted to imitate his mural shouting, while Avery Johnson took a selfie of himself and his mural. Robin Lopez stood and appreciated the art work that captured his image as the Portland Trailblazers’ big man in the middle.
