COLUMBIA, Mo. - Former Mizzou Men's Basketball standout and current Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Clarkson set the NBA ablaze with his hot shooting during his rookie season. And now the #MizzouMade guard is having the summer a professional basketball player can often enjoy.
Clarkson tossed out the ceremonial first pitch at "Lakers Night at Dodger Stadium" on Tuesday, Aug. 11, kicking off a night that ended with the hometown team defeating the Washington Nationals, 5-0.
Twitter was buzzing with all of the #LakersNight action, certainly with the help of the former Tiger-turned Laker Clarkson. Check out some of the best tweets below:
