By Dan Parzych
Los Angeles Rams punter Johnny Hekker decided to help Los Angeles Clipper DeAndre Jordan earn some extra votes for the NBA All-Star Game with a hilarious video.
Despite how disappointing this past season was for the Los Angeles Rams, fans at least were lucky enough to witness the success surrounding Johnny Hekker as the punter continued to show why he’s considered one of the best in the game. In fact, for the third time in four seasons, Hekker’s impressive play from the 2016 season helped him earn a spot in the Pro Bowl along with the All-Pro team.

With the Pro Bowl being a few weeks away, Hekker decided to take the time to help another professional athlete in Los Angeles from a different sport earn a spot in an upcoming All-Star game in New Orleans.
A few days ago, Hekker posted a hilarious video on the Twitter page for the Rams, urging fans to help get DeAndre Jordan to this year’s All-Star game by placing their votes for the Los Angeles Clippers center. Over the years, Jordan has emerged as one of the top centers in the league, but it looks like the Clippers star could use some extra help from fan voting if he’s going to have any shot at making the trip to New Orleans.
Hopefully, the extra support from Hekker and the Rams will help Jordan receive extra votes from fans over the next couple of weeks. For a player that has established a reputation for being one of the funniest members of the team, seeing Hekker post a video like this on the Los Angeles team page shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone.
