After signing a four-year deal worth $64 million, former Cleveland Cavalier Timofey Mozgov is officially an LA Laker. Despite being a 7’1″ center who averaged a putrid 4.4 rebounds last season, I firmly believe Mozgov can usher in a new era of showtime to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Still unconvinced?
Here is a fashion spread he did for Russian Esquire. According to google translate, the caption for these photos reads, “Basketball Timothy Mozgov (216 cm), which from 2010 played in the NBA, he tried to try on a shirt designed for the common man.”

But Mozgov is more than just a Russian fashion icon, he is also an NBA champion. Sure, during this post-season he averaged just over one point and one rebound a game—but just look at how this man celebrates:
