Brandon Ingram rocks a jacket made out of rattlesnakes (Video)
By John Buhler
Duke Blue Devils small forward Brandon Ingram surely doesn’t have ophidiophobia, as he is seen rocking a jacket made out of rattlesnake skin on the night of the NBA Draft.
The presumed No. 2 pick of the 2016 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Lakers is Duke Blue Devils freshman small forward Brandon Ingram. With all the spotlight soon to be on him going No. 2 to the glitzy market that is Los Angeles, Ingram is seen rocking a leather jacket made out of rattlesnake skin.
Clearly he’s not afraid of anything, especially venomous vipers. For a guy that is 6’9″, a lot of rattlesnakes needed to die to make this lottery pick’s draft day jacket possible.
In an event where a lot of draft prospects wear crazy garb annually, showing up at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn wearing a jacket made out of snakes is something New Yorkers just aren’t prepared to see.
It’s not that Ingram is even from Arizona where diamondbacks are all over the place. He hails from Kinston, North Carolina, so it must be the timber rattler come to the Southeastern United States. Either way, Ingram will be one of the best dressed guys in his draft class because he’s rocking snakes and no one else is!
