G D'Angelo Russell (Unanimous 1st Team All-American, All-Star, Los Angeles Lakers)

I'm not defending either one. My problem is all the focus is on Russell and the world all glosses over Nick Young's infidelities and still wants to talk about trust. Doesn't seem Young can be trusted either. They're both scumbags here but everybody is only focusing on one. My example might have been a stretch but the issue here is still the same.

No, you were defending Russell like he's some kind of secret undercover agent to bring cheaters to the light of day. C'mon.

Lol, yeah, I know, it was a bad example, pretty bad. I'm not defending Russell at all though.

Yeah, that was a low down move by D'Angelo...
Dude was ignorant...
You don't do what D'Angelo did,...

Seriously, Russell was a dick but I have ZERO symoathy for Young. NONE. All I ask is that the media focus on that as well. Just a little?

Point being, if indeed he's caught the true perp.... this ain't the way to have it go down.

It is definitely not how it should have gone down but it must be a wonderful world for Nick Young where he gets to fuck around on his lady and then think he gets to choose what's the most convenient way for him when he gets caught and has to deal with it. It isn't convenient for Iggy and I may feel for her but never for Nick and the cat would have been let out of the bag one way or the other. People would find out. It happened. He has to deal with it. No shits given. She might not even leave him so if that's her choice, again, no sympathy.

I'm not standing up for Nick Young by any means whatsoever, but because something happened in his private life, doesn't mean the world has any right to know about it.

Trust me, I wish I never heard about it. It's none of my business and yes, I realize that I am still commenting on it. I don't have a facebook account because I don't give a shit about other people's personal lives, drama, and whatever shit that they think I DO or SHOULD care about. This story just managed to get shoved down our throats and all people want to talk about is how you can't trust D'Angelo. You can't, but I don't see what makes Nick Young such an upstanding, trustworthy, respecatble guy that we should feel sorry for.

I see headlines about Russell feeling "sick" about what happened but no headlines about Young feeling "sick" that he's a piece of shit, got caught and might have fucked up his relationship. I see headlines about Russell getting booed by fans but no headlines about Young getting booed because he's an admitted cheater. I see headlines about former athletes ripping Russell but of course none would rip Young because it's just accepted that athletes can just fuck whoever they want whenever they want and most athletes seem to subscribe to that theory.

Russell’s opening weekend was about more than just his electrifying buzzer-beater that set off wild celebrations among thousands of Lakers fans at Thomas & Mack center. Last year, Russell was one of Las Vegas’s biggest disappointments as he struggled with his jumper and never found much success running a half-court offense.

An extra year has certainly helped. Russell looks far more confident this time around—maybe a little too confident given his loose lips during a profane post-game interview. Russell has topped 20 points twice in wins over the Pelicans and Sixers, making better reads and showing improved pacing in pick-and-rolls. Rather than looking lost or hesitant, Russell has largely stayed in controlled attack mode, finding seams to the basket off the dribble, flicking cross-court passes to open shooters, and luring defenders towards him to set up catch-and-shoot looks for his teammates.

At 2015 Summer League, it was hard to determine why, exactly, Russell was worthy of the second overall pick. This year, it’s been easy to see why so many Lakers fans are genuinely excited about the franchise’s next era, which will be guided by Russell and Brandon Ingram, 2016 No. 2 overall pick.

I'm no analyst but that's not a good game.

This is a good game. Career high 40 points and counting against Cleveland.
