Rui Hachimura is one of the best additions that the LA Lakers made this February. He showed his worth in the playoffs and continues to shine this season as the LA team stands at the 6th seed.

The Jordan brand has chosen some young superstars over the years, like Luka Doncic, Jayson Tatum, Zion Williamson, etc. Well, Hachimura is one of them who signed way back in 2019, when he was with the Wizards.
