DEVIN GREEN MAKES 2005-2006 LOS ANGELES LAKERS TEAM

El Segundo, CA— When talking about professional athletes today, professionalism and class is a lost perception. However, Devin Green is a good example of what class is on and off the court. Los Angeles Lakers signed Hampton University standout Devin Green from Akron, Ohio for the 2005- 2006 season.



Devin continues the legacy of historically black colleges’ ability to produce successful NBA players, on and off the court. Please show your support for Devin and his family and the Los Angeles Lakers.

We are proud of Devin here at Destined for Success Management, LLC and want to share his successes with the community, as we know people will be both interested and proud.
