The Lakers made their big offseason splash to acquire Russell Westbrook. But nothing is truly official until it gets painted on a larger than life mural in Los Angeles.
The Lakers trio finally got their wall art recognition with a masterpiece along Avalon Boulevard. Check out the sweet design below:

Gigantic murals have become a staple of self-expression from Lakers fans for their team. Artists manifest huge accomplishments, major acquisitions, and legendary players, past and present.

Fans can only hope that there are more murals to come. If the Lakers reap success on the court, then it's a foregone conclusion.
LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook have indicated that they're all on the same page in their quest for a title. The fit may not be seamless, but the stars are willing to sacrifice individual accolades for team success.
It remains to be seen how the Lakers put it all together once the games start to count. But it's hard to count out a stacked team with LeBron James at the helm.
