In one of the coolest—and most adorable—gender reveals you’ll ever see, Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves used the color of his sneakers to divulge the gender of a baby his brother's wife is expecting.
When Reaves took the court for Wednesday's Lakers game against the Indiana Pacers in white-and-pink kicks, it became official that his brother Spencer and his wife Casey are expecting a baby girl.
Congrats @SpencerReaves31!

Spencer is playing professional basketball in Germany, where, as of the time of the Lakers' tip-off, it was the early morning hours. But that time difference didn’t stop Spencer from chiming in to join the celebration and thank his brother for the gesture.
Appreciate you! We didn’t know Austin would be so pumped to do this. He’s known for weeks. Maybe he got Luka on board as well with his shoes tonight 😉 https://t.co/dNj5z9ITc0
