On Tuesday, the New Orleans Pelicans held their introductory press conference, welcoming new players Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, Brandon Ingram, and Derrick Favors to the Big Easy. It is customary for each player to smile wide, nod, and appear lovable to a new fanbase.
Brandon Ingram did not get this memo.
The 21-year-old is either unhappy about his relocation from Los Angeles to New Orleans or he already found a weed guy on Bourbon Street.

When you’re holding out for a PlayStation, but the last gift under the tree is another work shirt.

In full disclosure, there are other photos in which Ingram appears to be smiling and not looking like he’s at Guantanamo Bay, but I choose not to focus on those because it doesn’t fit my narrative.
And it’s funnier to believe this narrative…
