Coach Ham's show of affection to his favorite Laker makes D'Angelo Russell jealous

The Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham is known to be a players coach, as he usually has a great relationship with each one of them and can bring their best performance.

But like every coach, Ham has his favorite player and he has just shown it in the USA Basketball Training Camp to the surprise and jealousy of players like D'Angelo Russell and Rui Hachimura.

Russell is the Lakers' PG starter but could be losing his role to Gabe Vincent, the newest guard for the purple and gold. Austin Reaves currently doesn't have a rival to get the starting role and also has become his favorite.

A recently released picture shows coach Darvin Ham and Austin Reaves embracing at USA Basketball training camp. Reaves is starting training camp with Team USA to play in the upcoming FIBA World Cup.

Austin Reaves new nickname for the FIBA World Cup

The NBA fans are calling Austin Reaves with his USA jersey Captain America. Reaves is ready to prove himself this time with the Basketball national team.
