Snoop Dogg gives his Los Angeles Lakers a hilarious new nickname.

Snoop Dogg and Lakers Nation were ecstatic with the team's game-one victory over the Grizzlies. The Lakers took down Memphis in convincing fashion on Sunday. Leading many people to feel a lot better about their predictions of the Lakers pulling the upset. Snoop quickly took to social media to celebrate the game one victory. In typical Snoop fashion, the celebration was pure comedy. The legendary rapper even dubbed his Lakers with a new nickname. The Lakers will now be known as the "United Nations."

“We got United Nations over here. We got Asians, white boys, — boy, we cold! The Lakers got a cold squad, baby. We on it like we want it. Ay Bubba, let me hear from ya, punk. Lakers in six, punk,” Snoop stated in his Instagram post. It will be hard to tamper with the expectations of Lakers Nation after their dominating game one performance. The team was rolling on all cylinders on Sunday. Including big performances from Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura.

Snoop Dogg Excited With Recent Lakers Performance

The Lakers faithful are finally seeing their teams somewhat healthy, and it's paying off. However, there was a scary moment with Anthony Davis on Sunday night. The Lakers star injured his arm before halftime, telling trainers he couldn't feel it. But Davis returned and helped lead his team to the victory over the Grizzlies. Game two is set for Wednesday night. Unfortunately, Memphis could be without a star of its own in Ja Morant. Morant suffered a hand injury on his shooting hand during the contest.

Lakers Nation, United Nations, whatever you want to call them. The Lakers and their fanbase are on a euphoric high at the moment. In his video, Snoop's high looked more than euphoric. However, when your Snoop Dogg, you can celebrate in any fashion that you see fit. Things seem to be going all Los Angeles right now. But don't count the Grizzlies out just yet. It is difficult to beat any team four times. The Grizzlies will not be going down without a fight. For the latest NBA news, keep it locked in with HNHH.
