The Los Angeles Lakers are exacting some pretty rough hazing on Tarik Black and Jordan Clarkson, forcing the rookies to carry around baby dolls to each game.

“They are in charge of bringing them to every home game, making sure they are right by their locker, that the baby is not crying or anything like that, then after the game take them home... then on game days on the road they have to wear baby backpacks"

The rookies seem to be enjoying it, with Clarkson claiming his child was mothered by Rihanna.
