No, you're not dreaming ... It's real; it actually happened.

The Los Angeles Lakers officially signed Timofey Mozgov to an absolutely unfathomable 4-year/$64 Million contract this afternoon. Mozgov, who will make more millions per year as a Laker next season (16) than he scored total points during the entire 2016 NBA playoffs (15), has been a controversial signing -- to say the least.

While there are plenty of people out there who think the Lakers messed up big time by actually following through with this, these individuals can now take solace in the fact that Mozgov's troll game might be the best in the league -- as he signed his contract today while wearing a 'Lil Kev' t-shirt.

For those who are unaware of what 'Lil Kev' is -- it was a personality born during the Cavaliers' championship run when Richard Jefferson saw an advertisement of a Tommy Bahama model in a magazine whose appearance was almost identical to Love's. It sparked Jefferson to rip out the ad and show it to the rest of his teammates, who mocked Kevin with it, and subsequently, "Lil Kev" was born.
