Dear D’Angelo Russell,
My G, you have committed a mortal sin in terms of guy code. What were you thinking? At no point in time should you ever record your homie doing dirt or admitting to doing dirt and even worse, NEVER EVER allow that information to become public. What are you, a nark?
Right now, you’re the joke of Los Angeles and the NBA. Nobody wants to be your teammate. The Los Angeles Lakers locker room is in shambles. You have officially ruined Kobe Bryant’s farewell season.
Okay, maybe not that much (because the season has already been ruined since the beginning), but this isn’t how the Black Mamba was supposed to end his career.
Luckily, you can try to move on from this debacle. You’re still young and have a lot to learn. This is one of those lessons. This mistake cannot be committed again because if it comes out that you’re a repeat offender, you can kiss that career goodbye. The torch was supposed to be passed to you after Kobe sailed off into the sunset and this is not how you lead a team. Just give it time. People will somewhat forget. But what you do in the next 48 hours is very very crucial.
We have a few things that can help calm the storm in L.A., just pay attention.
