Lakers Show Appreciation with Hoops for Troops

We spent the end of October and beginning of November honoring our troops from Southern California with the Lakers annual Hoops for Troops program.

The Lakers partnered with Pechanga Resort and Casino to give back to those that serve and protect our country with three basketball clinics hosted by Lakers Trainers, and Lakers Legend, A.C. Green.

On three different occasions we invited 50-active military members from LA Air Force Base, March Air Reserve Base and Sunburst Academy to STAPLES Center for a full day of Lakers basketball. A.C. Green and Lakers expert trainers lead the troops through drills, relays and some friendly competitions, as their family members watched from the stands and enjoyed the Lakers home-court arena.
