Riley Russell, the adorable son of NBA star D’Angelo Russell and his partner Laura Ivaniukas, recently celebrated his first birthday, and the Lakers-themed party they threw was nothing short of a slam dunk. The event had everyone wishing they could score an invite.
The celebration honored the Los Angeles Lakers, a team that D’Angelo Russell now proudly represents once more, with a beautiful display of purple and gold. It was a perfect fit for D’Angelo, who is expected to return to the Lakers as their point guard this season after missing out on playing for the team in 2017. His birthday was themed after the Lakers.
Riley looked amazing in her Lakers-inspired attire. The child was dressed like a future basketball star, complete with a little Lakers jersey. Basketball player cards, posters, and banners were used as decorations to create an authentic NBA atmosphere that had everyone giddy with anticipation.
Fans are excited to see what D’Angelo Russell can bring to the court as the Lakers prepare for their upcoming season, with their first preseason matchup against the Golden State Warriors set for October 7. Riley’s celebration with a Lakers theme only heightened the speculation that he is primed for an outstanding season.
