Lakers Left Quinn Cook Behind At The Arena After Celebrating Championship, J.R. Smith Was On It

One of the most iconic scenes in the first movie of the Home Alone franchise is when Kevin McAllister's mother realizes that her son is not at the airport and yells "Kevin!" Well, the Lakers had a similar moment but it came on Instagram Live in the early hours of Monday morning. Shortly after the team bus departed the arena for the hotel, J.R. Smith was live on Instagram and Quinn Cook joined the comments section asking for them to "Make a Uturn" because he was still in the arena.

Smith, who logged no minutes in the Finals but was the first to touch the trophy and commence celebrating without a shirt, quickly realized the mistake but didn't make much of an effort to turn the car around.
