I don't know what they tell kids in school nowadays, but back when I was in elementary teachers would tell us to never snitch on one another. And if anyone did they would be labeled as a snitch and probably get beat up and have no friends.

Things have changed since my time but all this social media bullcrap really is gonna f*ck up the mentality of this generation and future generations to come.

Wait, people using him being 19 as an excuse? I remember being 19 well. Baiting/recording/snitching on one of my homies would have been the last thing I did. This type of ish has to be in your DNA.

People are acting like he was a 6 year old who didnt know what he was doing.

Plus isn't he 20 anyway? "He's 19" "He was hacked". The excuses keep coming and they're all ridiculous.

I have no idea where you went to school but we obviously had very different teachers.

Yes though those kids definitely wouldn't be going outside for recess without comming back inside without a fat lip

I didn't watch the Jazz game but was there visible tension on the court between the guys? How did they treat D'lo in the game?

Russell needs to get his ass beat and beat everyday till the season ends.


And to people who think he was some hero(probably would beat his ass if it were them) answer this.
1. Do you not have any secretes that you wouldn't want to get out. Now imagine your co worker baiting you to say that on tape.
2. If this scum is some hero like some claim why did this video not go straight to iggy and leave his hands as soon as he gives it to her
3. Who the **** does **** like this

I mean morality aside, I am fairly certain I wouldn't given that doing so would hurt my brand and could potentially lose me millions of dollars.

This is a bad look because now social media and the MSM has it. So the narrative probably keeps going at least till the Lakers are done in two weeks. And then re-surfaces during the draft and free agency. Yikes.

This sucks. I hope we can trade him for Ish Smith and the Sixers pick this draft. Smith/Clarkson/Ingram/Randle/? not a bad start.

Russell is in the wrong 100% whether dumb mistake or not. It doesn't mean Young isn't a piece of crap, but it wasn't Russell's place to even bring that up OR tape him and he did both without his consent.

like i mentioned previously he made a stupid mistake, he will recover in time but also needs support from fans and in time team mates and the Lakers organisation. just throwing him under a bus is probably a little premature

i have absolutely no doubt this will make him a better person in the long run

part of life is learning from mistakes made regardless of how dumb they are..

Peace / Out......

What if the Lakers trade D'Angelo for Jahlil? A reverse Fresh Prince.

Lol russell is just a (Please Use More Appropriate Word) man. Why would you do something like that? I thought the one and done rule was supposed to stop high school freshmen from going straight to the league without even finishing high school, but somehow d'angelo found a way.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.
