After over a decade in the D & G-league, Andre Ingram dazzled in his age 32 debut last night for the Lakers.
A debut 10 years in the making…

After an impressive 19-point performance, on 6-8 shooting, Ingram has received universal approval from throughout the basketball world. One of his admirers happens to be none other than Kobe Bean Bryant. When a Laker Legend is applauding your rise, ya done good. The Black Mamba joined Sam Amick of USA Today Sports and explained how.
“Dude, (the story is) ridiculous. Like, are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? I mean to have the courage and resolve to stick with that dream, and to now get your shot and to come through in that way? I mean, that’s impressive, man.”
Ingram simply suiting up for the Purple and Gold is a major accomplishment. Having the poise to ball out in the same uniform worn by Wilt, Kareem, Magic, Shaq & Kobe? That makes you the modern day Rudy in my book.
