Troy Daniels views Lakers as 'America's Team'

Troy Daniels believes the Lakers aren't just the biggest team in Los Angeles, but across the United States.

The shooting guard, who signed a one-year contract with the Lakers in July, explained why he views his new squad as "America's Team" during an interview with Alex Kennedy of HoopsHype.

"I'm friends with a guy who used to be on the Lakers' coaching staff and he always told me that being part of the Lake Show is very different and that there a lot of perks and things that come with it," Daniels said. "He just told me to take advantage of everything I can. That's what I'm going to do. I call them 'America's Team' because everyone knows about the Los Angeles Lakers and everyone knows about Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, and LeBron James. When you come play for this organization, you got to come correct. That's what I'm going to do."

While not everyone will agree with Daniels, LeBron and the Lakers did top the NBA's jersey sales list for the 2018-19 season.
