Jarred Vanderbilt, the Lakers forward, seems to have two distinct personas on Instagram.
First, there’s the familiar version. This is his official, verified account, boasting a following of half a million fans.
Similar to many NBA stars, this account showcases thrilling dunk highlights, stylish pregame outfits, and joyful postgame moments with teammates—exactly what fans anticipate.
But then, there’s another side.
This version offers a glimpse into a more personal world, as if you’ve been invited into the team’s private group chat.
Lurking beneath the algorithm’s surface lives “vando_vault.” Vanderbilt’s not-so-secret second account that’s an unfiltered scrapbook of locker room life, memes, hilarious videos, and screenshots that tell the story within the story.
Scroll through the photos in each of the posts below long enough and you’ll find a version of Luka Doncic you’ve never seen before. The one that lives up to the nickname “The Don.”
There’s Deandre Ayton’s hilarious expressions. Austin Reaves in cornrows and his budding bromance with Doncic. There’s trolling of Kevin Durant and Stephen A. Smith. Even Luke Kennard isn’t safe from the occasional internet meme.
Look deeper and you’ll find handwritten motivation notes. AI videos of Doncic dancing, and even funny screenshots of LeBron James. It’s weird. It’s lighthearted. It’s perfect.
