D'Angelo Russell is a player that Lakers fans should be very familiar with. Since he was drafted by the team during the Kobe era, and then returning to the Lakers for a second time, D'Angelo Russell has always been a player with a lot of topics. This season, due to the conflict between him and the Lakers, he was ultimately traded back to the Nets.
After arriving at the Nets this time, D'Angelo Russell also dared to speak out. In the current program blog, D'Angelo Russell also talked about some things about his time with the Lakers. He said, "I really like Westbrook. I hope that in the future, Westbrook will be able to participate in my show, but that may have to wait until after his retirement. I look forward to him sharing some of his experiences when he was playing big ball. I want to hear what he has to say. He is one of the veterans in the league, and everyone speaks highly of him, everyone loves him."
Here, D'Angelo Russell's remarks can be considered quite bold. Everyone knows about Westbrook's experience with the Lakers, which is similar to D'Angelo Russell's own experience with the Lakers, as they both played big ball next to James. They needed to become the so-called "ball-less point guard" that fans jokingly refer to, which made them both quite uncomfortable.
Especially when the Lakers' record was not good, D'Angelo Russell and Westbrook were both players who had to take the blame. This naturally put a lot of pressure on the two players, and here Russell openly discussed this matter. Naturally, this made James embarrassed, and he might even reveal some difficulties of playing for the Lakers together with Westbrook. Fans also lamented, "Westbrook has been discontent for a long time, and he will definitely make bold revelations in the program in the future."
