Los Angeles Lakers point guard Quinn Cook won his second NBA championship Sunday night.- After his team's initial celebrations, players packed onto the bus to head back to the hotel where they've lived for the past 95 days.
- Cook literally missed the bus and commented on JR Smith's Instagram live to ask his teammates to turn around and pick him up from the arena.
Quinn Cook may have two NBA championship rings now, but he still can't find a ride home.

But before he could realize what happened, the 27-year-old literally missed the bus home.
JR Smith — who signed with the Lakers before the NBA's bubble return — had gone live on Instagram from the team bus when Cook began commenting that they had left him behind.
"Gotta walk back after I win a f------ ring wtf," Cook wrote. "Come backkkk."
"Make a Uturn," he added.
"Ohhhhhh we left QC, bro," Smith said upon reading the comments. "QC said tell them to come back and get him. We left him. We left QC, bro."

Whether or not multiple buses were leaving the arena or Cook truly missed his one ride remains unclear. But if he did need to find a way back to his temporary home inside the NBA's bubble at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, at least he had an extra ring to use as a bargaining chip.
